Hello!

Welcome to Marisa Komosinski's Sandbox.

While you are here, I ask you to please not throw any sand at people, and it is strongly recommended that you do not eat any sand either.

Feel free to pick up a shovel and a pail and make a cool sandcastle while you are here though!

The Laundry Crisis
Laundry is one of the biggest issues facing college students today, especially those who live in dorms. The high cost of doing laundry, combined with the limited space and rude students, makes the entire experience uncomfortable and expensive.

Problems
One big problem with laundry is usually the cost. At Ball State, laundry costs money, sometimes a lot. Students either have to pay with Cardinal Cash or beg people for quarters when they go shopping.

There are a lot of confusing directions for doing laundry properly [REFERENCE GOES HERE] And since folding laundry is also a lot of work, college students generally find other solutions to doing laundry regularly each week. However, laundry used to be worse back in the 19th century, according to Warner, who talks about how women used to do so much laundry their hands would blister.

Little Princes
Conor Grennan's book Little Princes has been translated into 12 languages, including English, Bulgarian, Italian. Little Princes has also been used as the common reader for several schools including Ball State University, Hilbert University (?), Virginia Tech, Elon University, Central College, St. Cloud State University, San Jose State University, Wingate University (NC), Michigan Tech,Villanova (?), Lower Canada College (?), and Otterbein University.

Little Princes was also chosen as the 'One Town One Book'/'One Book One Region' choice for Farmington, Connecticut in the summer of 2013. It was also chosen as the "All Community Read". Little Princes was also named as one of the Top Hundred Audio Books of All Time by audible.com.
