CHILL OUT: Bathroom Issues
youtube

People nowadays are getting all worked up and offended about things that really don't matter that much. Now I'm not talking about the big issues like abortion, or guns, or religion, or homosexuality or anything like that. I'm talking about the little things that people freak out about that really aren't going to exponentially affect humanity in any way. This new segment I'm starting will address various issues that people really need to chill out about. Today I'm talking about:

BATHROOM ISSUES

Your business in the bathroom is your business. Buuuuuuut....everybody poops. It's just a fact of life. People get really weird about stuff that goes on in the bathroom. Either you are super awkward any time anybody talks about any kind of bodily function or you think poop, butt, and fart jokes are absolutely hilarious and can't stop cracking them at inappropriate times. There are definitely things about the bathroom that people freak out about WAY TOO MUCH.
Toilet Paper. I have seen people rage about which way the toilet paper goes. If you have a preference, then just change it. It literally takes 3 seconds.
Speaking of changing toilet paper, why do people get SO upset when they go to the bathroom and find an empty toilet paper roll? You should always check for TP before you sit your butt down! If you don't and you find out there is no toilet paper, that really sucks. I've been there and I would not like to go back. But you shouldn't blame the person who used the last of the previous roll. It would've been nice to replace it but unless you laid some ground rules about TP replacement and restocking, it's not their responsibility to replace the TP. So just chill.
Toilet seats. Girls, calm the heck down about toilet seats. If you come in the bathroom and the seat is in the upright position, the wrong choice is to yell and scream and go kick your brother/husband/male housemate. With one little finger, you can just push the seat back down and ta da!! Totally ready for your tush to do what it needs to do. If you don't want to use your finger than you can just as easily use your foot. "Well I bet you've never run into the bathroom and sat in the toilet because seat was up and got your booty all wet!!" Yes. Yes I have. I have 4 brothers and a father who all happen to pee with the seat up and often leave it that way. But it was my fault for failing to see the blatantly obvious upright toilet seat. Like I said before, it's not their responsibility to put the toilet seat back down. It's polite and courteous, but should not be an expectation. Just look where you're putting your bare bum or it's going to get wet!
Justifiable freak out: Pee/hair on the toilet seat. That's just gross. Clean up your mess. Sheesh.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
