3 Reasons Hotels Are Just Flat-Out Gross

It's almost inevitable that at one point or another we have to stay in a hotel, be it traveling for work, visiting family, or even for vacation. Sometimes, it's impractical to stay at a beach house or condo. A simple fact no one can deny is that hotels are convenient. However, if you're a neat freak, hotels might put you in a state of panic for these reasons.

1. The Sheets

Some news channel once sprayed the sheets with invisible spray paint, that could only be seen by a black light, then checked back into the room in a different name. Every hotel still had the paint on the bed sheets. The simple facts that there is almost not enough time to change sheets for every room in the hotel.That doesn't change that it is flat out disgusting that they cannot do what they are paid for.

I once stayed at a hotel and we found a finger nail in the bed.

2. The Mattress

There are obviously no mattress covers under the sheets so what happens on the sheets seeps through. Semen, blood, urine are all most likely on the mattress you're sleeping on. They're also probably on the sheets since they don't think anyone will notice if they're clean or not. Usually they're right about that one though.

The same hotel I found a finger nail in, my boyfriend checked under the sheets and declared that it didn't have bed bugs. I was mortified because I didn't even think to check for that.

3. Literally Every Other Surface In The Room

The carpet probably has the exact same things on it as the mattress does. Some stranger has probably taken a bath in the tub you use without it being cleaned out. The toilet for sure has not been cleaned. But really, what's the difference between that and a public bathroom? Someone has definitely peed in the shower and you're standing in their urine. Hotels are just extremely unsanitary without having actual proof.

Back to the hotel of horror... There was used toilet paper in the bathroom.


To reiterate, hotels are convenient and you're usually not staying a long time. It is easy to push past all of this for one or two nights of decent sleep. But if you're like me, it grosses you out beyond belief.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
