5 Struggles Only People Who Live With One Bathroom Understand
The Plaid Crew

Before I start I want to point out how grateful I am for having a bathroom, and for having a house. I am lucky to have parents who would bend over backwards to make sure we were OK. Parents who, although they have nothing much themselves, do everything in and beyond their power, for us. I am, always have been, and always will be, eternally grateful to them.

My house is over 100 years old and, back then, having one bathroom was normal. But I don't know how they did it, and I don't know how people who don't live alone survive with one bathroom! Let alone a family of four with three people with lactose intolerance. You get the picture. Here are five struggles only people that live with one bathroom will understand.

1. Peeing with the door open.

You never know when anyone is in there so leaving the door open is the answer. You get used to it.

2. Company when showering.


I've had conversations with my family about my day while in the shower and they are doing their thing. It's normal. My family also loves my shower concerts.

3. Brushing teeth parties.

4. Shower line-up.

My sister and I used to get into fights about who will shower first until i called it for eternity. Oops.

5. No personal space in general.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
