Laundry. I don't know about you, but just the word elicits a groan from me even on the best days. But alas, it's something that all university students (and adults. I'm sorry to break it to you) have to deal with no matter how much we put it off. Eventually, that laundry basket in the corner starts accumulating into a mountain of clothes that you can't ignore any longer.
So now, the job begins. But it doesn't necessarily have to be a boring task or one that makes you annoyed. Believe it or not, there are actually some ways to make it more enjoyable and tips to help you out. Yes, I am being completely serious.
#1 Plan Ahead!
Don't just wait until you absolutely have to do your laundry. Because most of the cases, you end up wasting time waiting for the machine to finish its cycle so you can dry those clothes you've been wanting to wear for that party. Instead, plan to do your laundry at a time when your favourite TV show is on. That way, it doesn't seem like you're waiting ages for your laundry and you get up to something productive (well, sort of) while you wait!

#2 No More Things Going Missing!
It's the mystery all of us have most likely dealt with: the case of missing items! In a laundry sense, of course. Ever had those times where you stuff your gym socks in the machine along with your clothes only to find at the end, one of them is missing? Say goodbye to those days! Invest in a laundry bag to put all socks and similarly sized articles so that they can stay accounted for. Feeling a little cheap? Use a binder clip to clip socks together, does the trick too!

#3 Folding Like A Boss!
Five seconds. That's the time that it takes for you to read this. It also could be the time it takes for you to fold a T-shirt. Just learn this quick technique and you could be on your way to folding shirts like a folding machine! It may sound like a pointless skill to have but think about it: the less time you spend folding (which come on, we all don't really enjoy), the more time you can spend doing... other things.

#4 Say Bye-Bye To Stains!
The worst thing is when you wear your favourite sweater out to dinner and it becomes a victim of a mustard attack because you just had to eat that hotdog. You don't have to let that ruin your sweater though! Here's a guide on how to remove stains before you pop them in the laundry machine (because you can't always just rely on the usual detergents):

#5 Wrinkle-Free
Getting laundry done is one thing, but ironing?! Who has time for that? Well, as a uni student, there are times when you have to look presentable. If you have an iron, good for you. You should be well-aware on how to get rid of wrinkles. But what if you don't? Here's some thrifty alternatives using items you probably already have lying around in your room:
