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.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.
