Jobs and Sorority Life - Is it possible?

As an added bonus, it makes it easy to meet people on campus right away.

And to add to this, I learned very early on that it takes maybe 10 or 15 minutes a day to keep your room clean, but if you let it go, it takes hours to get it straightened up. Maybe it's my OCD evil twin talking, but I know I feel MUCH less stressed when my room is clean and I know where everything is. If you're going to be leading a hectic life (and believe me, it's hectic), anything you can do to reduce your stress is worth it! Especially if it only takes a few minutes a day!

Oh I've gotten the cleaning the house bit down. I clean as I go. While the chicken bakes, wash dishes. While the potatoes cook, clean up after the dog and cat. While the dishwasher goes, run the vacuum. :]

But I agree, a clean house/work space TOTALLY helps de-stress.
