Hand-Wash to Survive: My Broke Laundry Plan

Laundry has become my nemesis lately. As a broke college student in a humid, swampy city, I’m stuck between overpriced laundromats and the sketchy washers in my apartment complex that look like they’ve eaten socks and souls. I’m considering a DIY fix: hand-washing my clothes in the tub and just paying to dry them. Hanging clothes to dry is a no-go—humidity here turns everything into a damp, mildewy mess. I’m not trying to go full pioneer, but has anyone else gone this route? Like, do you have tips on getting your clothes actually clean without feeling like you're punching a wet towel for 30 minutes? And is this actually cheaper long term, or just a hassle in disguise? Would love to hear from anyone who’s done this or found other hacks to make laundry less painful when your budget is mostly ramen and tuition. #LaundryHacks #CollegeStruggles #BrokeLife #Adulting101 #HandWashTips #LaundromatLife #DIYLaundry #BudgetLiving #HumidHell #CleanOnABudget
