No, My Changing Room Isn't An Opportunity For You To Have A Coffee Clutch

No, My Changing Room Isn't An  Opportunity For You To Have A Coffee Clutch
https://evelyngarone.files.wordpress.com/

I've had a lot of life-experiences that always tested my patience in some sort of way (as everyone does). But there are some situations where I just have to bite my tongue.

Picture this:

You go to the mall, and want to try on some clothes, but for you, there's a whole bunch of other steps before going into the dressing room: Okay, so what's first you ask? Asking a cashier if the accessible changing room is unlocked (why on earth would they lock them? They don't lock the other dressing rooms.) When you get to the changing areas, you discover that yes, the door is locked, and no, no one has a key to the door, and you wait patiently for the cashier to pick the lock with a clothes hanger. Unfortunately her lock picking skills aren't up to par, she apologizes and tells you that you have to go another section of the store because she's sure there's another accessible changing room.

Once you get to the changing room, there's another individual already in there. Similarly to waiting for a bathroom stall, you patiently wait for them to leave the changing room so you can go try on clothes. Instead of seeing someone in a wheelchair, or an individual who has a walker/cane in tow, TWO individuals come out of the changing room. Not one, but TWO. Not only did they not apologize, but they looked as if they didn't do anything wrong.

I have no idea how I was able to bite my tongue in this situation, because all of my instincts were telling me to say something.

Again, I get that it's a lot of room, and an opportunity to bring in more clothes, which means less time leaving the changing area, but have you seen the other changing rooms? I can't even fit my front wheel in them.

Next time you see a bigger changing room, resist the urge to go in and choose a smaller one.

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. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

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.
