alexa, how often should you wash your bed sheets?

In this very moment I am avoiding homework and the fact that my sheets are done in the dryer and need to be put back on my mattress if I plan on sleeping tonight.

Oh yeah you heard that right- I’m fucking doing laundry. About 2 hours ago I felt a surge of energy and motivation to do something, anything (besides homework obviously). I put away some clothes that were chilling on my chair, preventing me from sitting in it, and then I finally took the sheets off of my bed and threw them in the washer. If you asked the average person how long you should go without washing your sheets, they’d probably say a week. I honestly don’t remember the last time I washed mine. Also, I flipped my mattress because the spot I sit in 24/7 is starting to sink a little bit. Well, I guess I didn’t necessarily flip it, I turned it around because I didn’t feel like taking the mattress pad off.

The thought of sleeping in a clean bed tonight makes me very happy because the popcorn/food crumbs were getting kind of annoying.

This happens quite often, getting the sudden motivation and urge to be productive. I know the feeling will go away soon, so I take advantage of the opportunity and quickly try to get something done. My productiveness is very haphazard. While I do well in school and my calendar is very organized, my room is never, ever clean. I would tell you that I have something I call “selective laziness” but really it’s probably just the depression. I don’t like to blame my actions on my mental illnesses, but I think it can be the first step to figuring out why I make certain decisions and how to change them.

Enough with the self-reflection… I can’t stop thinking about this particular question: Does the average millennial dust? I say no. Anyways, thank you for listening.
