Laundry overload

I never truly realized what a trouble it is to do your laundry until i got to college. I mean in high school it just didn't seem that hard. I've always hated like folding them and putting my clothes up but if i didn't my mom would just do it for me. But now, theres no one :/ It sucks carrying my loads all the ay down there. then having to check every 3 min. and going back down there to put them in the dryer. On top of that, one time the washer just stopped working so my clothes ended up being soaking wet. So i had to dry them three times! So now when i have more laundry, im just like, I will get to it. Ehhh, maybe later. And so it just keeps piling up and up, and i had told my self not to do that because that just makes it worse on you to put away. So then i back to square one. Its a vicious cycle that needs to be stopped. But im really to busy to care or do anything about it.
