how to "clean your room"

We've all had parents on our backs to clean our room. "It's so dirty in here!" or "I can't even see the floor!"-- we've all heard it before.

Well now, "clean your room" has now been translated in my mind into "make it look clean." That means it doesn't actually have to be clean!

First off, pick up all the clothes from the ground. You don't have to put it away yet; just throw them in the laundry basket. Chances are, somebody will do the laundry and fold the clothes for you. Look at that, less work for you!

Next, rearrange the things on your desk. Throw trash away. Make it look neat. As long as your parents don't inspect the dust that's probably piling up there, it'll look clean!

Now you have to make your bed. Personally I never understood the point of making your bed when you just get right back in it at night. However, nevertheless, it makes your room look clean, so might as well do it.

You're basically done now. It's very shallow cleaning but it should stop your parents' nagging!
