When it comes to community bathrooms, I think I speak for all girls in college when I say it’s an experience that was not meant to be on our bucket list. There are perks to living in a dorm and sharing a bathroom with 50+ girls (kinda) and there are things that make it an experience we can’t wait to forget. To those of you who have been lucky enough to not have endured the unforgettable awkwardness, here are 25 things to remember in order to survive a community bathroom:
- Bring a towel with you, or you will be up a creek.
- WEAR SHOES IN THE SHOWER.
- Bring soap.
- Bring back up soap.
- Bring shampoo and conditioner.
- BRING YOUR I.D. OR YOU WILL BE LOCKED OUT OF THE ROOM FOR AN HOUR AND YOUR ROOMMATE WILL BE GONE TO CLASS!
- Bring a razor.
- I need to remember to bring my razor.
- Bring your favorite loofah.
- Or, if you despise loofahs because of their weird texture, bring a washrag.
- Do not speak while you are in the shower or else someone will ask you to do them a favor while you are still in a towel.
- Make sure your roommate is still in the room if you don’t have your I.D. with you.
- If you take clothes with you to the bathroom...take them back with you.
- If you take good smelling shower products...take them back with you or they will not be there when you go looking for them.
- Why would you leave bandaids in the shower?!? That’s just sick.
- Do your best not to leave puddles on the floor or else someone will slip (shout out to the girl who never dries herself off).
- If you notice that it doesn’t go down the first time...flush again. It won’t kill ya.
- If someone is going to the bathroom, don’t be that person who tries to carry on a conversation...seriously you just made things more awkward.
- WASH YOUR HANDS, YA NASTY.
- If you accidentally fart...just go with it. It’s too late now.
- If there’s a sign on the bathroom door that reads “CAUTION water might turn hair green,” pray. Just pray.
- It’s only appropriate to talk to people while washing your hands or walking out the door.
- Make sure your towel wrap is secured...it will fall if it’s not.
- Clean up after yourself and hope for the best.
- FOR THE LOVE OF EVERYTHING ON GOD’S GREEN EARTH...CLEAN UP YO NASTY HAIR ON THE FLOOR!!
