Laundry

Doing your laundry at Point Park can be quite a task.

When in Lawrence, I would do my laundry late at night/earlier in the morning because it was not crowded. Even having about 8 dryers and washers, it would get pretty crazy. People throwing clothes out of the dryer the second their time was up, throwing wet clothes from the washer just so they could have their turn. People are so self-centered!

When I moved into the suites, I was happy that I didn't need to have all the drama as sharing a laundry room with an entire hall, but only my floor of about 16 people. Unfortunately, my laundry drama did not disappear.

Campus Life provided the floor with a laundry bin, for if someone forgot their laundry, or wanted to take out someone's laundry immediately when it was done so that person could begin their laundry. Well, ours went missing. So clothes are left in the washer or dryer, or put on top of them.

To make it worse, people feel the need to dry their clothes more than one cycle, which is 60 minutes. Why would you need to dry something for more than 60 minutes? I did my laundry this passed Monday. Someone had clothes in the dryer, but it only had eight minutes left. Since the washer takes 26 minutes, I knew I could dry my clothes since the other person's clothes were to be out in eight minutes.

After 23 minutes passed (I don't like when people are late for their laundry, so I try not to be) I go to the room and there is 75 minutes left on the dryer! Someone pushed the dryer button again after their clothes were already in their for an hour!

Needless to say, my room was, and still is, covered in clothes, hanging from every possible hook, door handle, and shower curtain.
