FEBREZE AS A SUBSTITUTE FOR BASIC HYGIENE.

Follow for more untold stories from the dorms.

Remember those late nights? The intellectual debates, the groundbreaking ideas, the relentless pursuit of excellence that defined our time on campus? Amidst that intense academic crucible, a different kind of reality unfolded behind those dorm room doors. Let's be honest: hygiene wasn't always top of the list. With deadlines looming and group projects calling, who had time for laundry every week? Or, dare I say, a truly deep clean of the living space?

Enter the unsung hero of countless dorms: Febreze. That magical aerosol can wasn't just a deodorizer; it was a lifestyle choice. A quick spritz on that slightly-less-than-fresh shirt, a generous misting of the futon that had seen better days, or a strategic deployment to mask the scent of… well, let's just call them ‘dorm aromas.’ It was the universal solvent for questionable cleanliness, the ultimate hack for appearing presentable without actually doing the work.

We all knew it, even if we never spoke of it aloud. Febreze wasn't about being truly clean; it was about managing appearances, extending the life of an outfit, and making your room pass the sniff test when parents visited. It was a shared, unspoken pact, a testament to the unique priorities of an Ivy League student. From the grimy shared bathrooms to the questionable microwave clean-ups, Febreze was our collective confession and our collective solution. A simpler time, perhaps, when a can of spray could solve most of life's immediate problems. Who else relied on this chemical miracle more than they’d care to admit?
