Doing Dishes

Despite my best efforts, I still use dishes.  Also despite my best efforts, they pile up in front of the microwave because I don't want to do them.

Doing dishes in a bathroom sink is gross.  It is also time-consuming and futile as your dishes will never really be clean.  If you leave coffee sitting in a cup all day, it will be impossible to get the sludgy brown dregs out of the bottom of the mug.  If at all possible, take your dishes to the bathroom immediately after finishing with them and rinse them out so that you can get away with not actually washing them.

If you find that you absolutely must do dishes, you will need a little dish brush and some dish soap (try to get a bottle that looks like it will close securely because it is laughably hard to get soap out of a drawer when it spills everywhere in there.)  A dish towel is also nice but not necessary.  DON'T fill the sink with water like you would at home - people spit their toothpaste in there!  Do your best to scrub everything out without actually touching the inside of the sink.  If you need things to soak, fill them with hot water and leave them sitting next to the sink while you wash the rest of the dishes.

Just in case, here are some things you can do to avoid using dishes:
- Don't eat in your room
- Use coffee filters as bowls (don't try to eat cereal this way.  It doesn't work)
- Only use cups with water
- Give up because it is impossible not to use dishes

  1. Write about the social aspects of colleges, how cliques are made, if made, and what activities there are. Although it may be hard to do without being specific to Whitworth but thats ok, but if so you must make multiple ostrich and giraffe centered jokes!
