Every night when I come home to my dorm I think to myself, “Man I need to vacuum and my roommate needs to clean that dirt from off the floor.” Yet with a hectic schedule and a heavy course load, it can be hard to find time to give the dorm room a good clean. That is why I feel it is time that the University offers Capstone Maids. That’s right, I said it, Capstone Maids.

Most honors students live in honors dorms. Wouldn’t it be great to be one of the only universities in the country to cater to our honors students by offering personal Capstone Maid service for their room? This would go great with the current laundry service started this year. With Capstone Maids you can use the time you would use cleaning on other things. You could study more, do community service work, or go home for the weekend instead of staying behind to clean the dorm.

With Capstone Maids I could log onto myBama and submit a request for a Capstone Maid to work his or her magic on my dorm room. I would look forward to coming home late at night and walking into a clean room that smells like citrus or fresh laundry. I may even study in the living room because everyone knows that a clean environment is better than a dirty one.

So next time you walk through the living room and look at a paper plate your roommate has left there since August (and you know you are not going to clean it up because they ate off of it and so you are going to leave it there to teach them a lesson,) take a minute to think. Should I call Capstone Maids? Yes.
