My room's not messy, it's just organized chaos!- ages 15-19

For the first time in eight months, Sydney was spotted lying on her bedroom floor; duster in one hand and vacuum in the other. The satisfied smile on her face was quickly followed by a sigh of relief.

Sydney's sudden cleaning epiphany happened a week prior. She had lost her pet dog in a pile of clothes only to have little Fluffers emerge two days later; dazed and malnourished. That was when she decided to take action and clean her room.

"She started off with a simple sweeping of the floor, but one thing led to another and before I knew it, all her furniture was moved out into the hallway as she cleaned each individual corner of the room" Sydney's mother's smile faded from jubilant to concerned as she recalled the exact day of the cleaning.

"If you ask me," says her older sister, Sarah "I'm glad she finally cleaned that pig sty." Sarah's scary and dangerous encounters in Sydney's room have left her scornful towards the subject.

It took Sydney four hours and two Windex bottles to complete the job, but she's happy she's finished. "I hope I never have to do that again" Sydney wipes the sweat from her brow. According to latest news, a clean room is something that all teens try to avoid, but this girl's valiant attempt at a spotless room has definitely paid off; for her and her family.
