10 Thoughts We All Have While Doing A Coffee Scrub For The First Time
Nathan Dumlao

Shoutout to Ipsy for always sending me things I would never would've tried otherwise. In my January bag, I got a coffee scrub and decided to give it a try since I've never used one before. To say the least, it was an experience. Here are my thoughts during my first coffee scrub.

1. Definitely should've opened this before I got in the shower.

Now my hands are wet and I have to rip this paper package open and it's never going to happen. Maybe I should get scissors.

2. Okay, that's just straight coffee.

I understand that the main point of a coffee scrub is that it's coffee, but I wasn't expecting a full bag of just coffee grinds.

3. There is no way I can cover my whole back.

So I'm somehow supposed to magically be able to reach my whole back to cover it with coffee...

4. Yeah, I just pulled my shoulder.

Okay, so all of this twisting and trying to cover my whole back in coffee just made me pull a muscle in my shoulder. I didn't know this was an activity that required I stretched before.

5. Now I'm naked and covered in coffee.

So, the rule when doing a coffee scrub is that you have to let it sit on your back for 5 to 10 minutes. I tried to do something else, like shave my legs, but whenever I moved, coffee just started falling off of me. So this means you have to stand in the corner of your shower, away from the nice warm water, covered in coffee. Not fun.

6. That was totally five minutes.

I've never been a great judge of time, but when you're naked and covered in coffee, time seems to crawl by. So I'm pretty sure it really was only on my back for about two minutes, but what are they going to do, arrest me?

7. Now I'm standing in coffee.

Once you start rinsing the coffee grinds off your back, and they mix with the water, you're basically just standing in shower coffee. Delicious.

8. It's going to take forever to wash all of this out of my shower.

Now there are coffee grinds all over my shower and it's going to take me 20 minutes to wash out of my shower. Don't worry, though, they'll still be some left for you when you take a shower tomorrow.

9. I smell like coffee...I smell goooood.

So now I smell like a big ol' cup of coffee, which isn't the worst thing in the world because, let's be real here, who doesn't love the smell of coffee?

10. My back is as smooth as a baby's butt.

So maybe this was worth it because my back has never been this soft.


Although my shower and entire bathroom will permanently smell like coffee, this was an amazing scrub and my body feels so smooth. I feel like an angel. It was tough, but I would 10/10 recommend to a friend.

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.
