Dirty Domicile

Attention Getter: How many people in here think that there residence is messy. I know that once projects and other difficult course work piles up the appearance of my home dwindles. Maybe you do try to clean only to feel you never can keep up with the mess being made. Maybe you have that really messy roommate that no matter how hard you try to get him to clean up it never works.

Transition: Today I am going to talk about the problems of having a messy or unclean residence, the cause, and my proposed solutions in correcting this problem.

I. Problem

a. Unclean or Messy home and why it can be a problem

II. Cause

a. Not enough time in the day, especially for college students. We have class, homework, jobs, and possibly if we are lucky some time to escape all that and socialize with friends.

b. If you live with multiple people not just your responsibility to clean up the mess. Each person is responsible to help keep things clean especially if they dirty them.

c. Better things to do than clean. When we do get some free time we want to be able to relax and enjoy life, not clean.

III. Solution

a. Step One – Find a mad scientist and provide him capital to research time travelling technology.

b. Step Two – Conditioning your roommates. Application of that Psychology class you took very long ago.

c. Step Three – Install a wash cycle into your residence, it works for your clothes why not your home.
