Life lessons They Don’t Teach You in School

Have you ever heard of spring cleaning? Well, you see, I do spring, summer, fall, and winter cleaning. I live in a small two-bedroom apartment. Things tend to pile up quickly. There is only so much room, and furniture like couches, bed frames, kitchen tables can take up a lot of space. So looking for more ways to organize and arrange my belongings is a constant cycle.
