- If you don’t have a dishwasher, wash your dishes immediately after you use them. Don’t ask, just do it.
- The smell of curry will linger in a studio apartment for longer than 24 hours.
- No really — NOTHING MAKES IT GO AWAY.
- Organic canned pumpkin does not stay in the fridge for as long as you’d think it would.
- When kiwis go bad and get gooey on the counter, they leave behind a strange, pinkish color.
Hmm. I’m gross. I could say, Yeah, but life got busy! It was the weekend! Yadda yadda yaddah, but no — my kitchen was looking pretty janky. Let’s not let that happen agin, mmkay?

On that note, I have some pictures of gay Twister that are coming up next. I also had a pretty ridiculous weekend involving a bunch of boys from Wisconsin.

Lesson #1: True life. Or at the very, very least: leave dirty dishes to soak immediately after using. I shared a kitchen with three other girls in my junior year of college, and they had a really tough time grasping the importance of that lesson. Hence why dishes sat on the counter for weeks at a time, unwashed. NASTY.

I actually have a dishwasher and still hand wash everything! We rent and the dishwasher is so awful it’s now a glorified 2-level drying rack. Sigh.

I also have a dishwasher and handwash everything. It’s what my current roommate always did last year and after having issues with how long I was taking to fill our massive dishwasher, I just gave in and started doing it, too. It’s not that bad… as long as you do it like you said and wash immediately!
