She is like the Monica to her Rachel or Miranda to her Carrie! This student identified as Sam Smithburger wanted to help her roommate, who is so caught up with work that she has no time to even look at her room, forget cleaning. The original video uploaded on TikTok shows Sam’s friend Jenna’s place with piled of clothes and everything scattered around. So she decided to step in and give her room a makeover, basically clean it, like any good friend would intend to do. However, the video which has now spread on all the social media platforms have divided the internet users. Although it is evident from the start that Sam’s intention was nothing but pure. People continue to debate if it the best clip ever or an invasion of privacy. Ahi Challenge Is the Latest TikTok Craze! Users Show Off Their Cool Dance Moves in Viral Videos.

Sam writes, “My roommate has been very overwhelmed lately (6 classes, 2 jobs, and internship, and just totaled her car.” The room was a mess. “So today I decided to clean her entire room so she can get some sleep (and we can get drunk),” she adds.

The nearly one-minute video shows the transformation of the room. She spends the rest of the clip cleaning.

The end of the clip shows a perfectly clean and healthy living space. “6 hours and 1 bottle of titos later,” she writes the work was done.

Highlighting Depression!
As someone who suffers from depression it doesn’t take much for your home to look this way some days I couldn’t even get out of bed let alone clean anything and at other points n my life between school full time and work full time I wasn’t home enough to clean so I get it

Invasion of Privacy?
Am I the only one who hates when someone tries to clean my room. Dirty or not I know where everything is. If you move stuff around when I’m not there it’s gonna take forever for me to find something. Then I ask where it is and they say they don’t know

After thousands of comments, the roommate, Jenna, stepped in. She wrote, “I was embarrassed bc it’s hard to admit to struggling, especially to 7 million people but I’ve seen so many conversations about mental health start bc of this. Feeling supported instead of judged is huge. Sam is an incredible example of that I’m so lucky.”
Here's Jenna's Tweet!

When too much is going around, and you have too many commitments, it becomes difficult to get your life back in order. Sometimes, the situation only worsens. What Sam did for her roommate shows the kind gesture to others who have needed a helping hand now and again. And it is absolutely alright!
