Bathrooms have been around since early civilization and have continued to grow and improve over the centuries. What has not changed, however, is how absolutely gross public restrooms are - especially the girls' bathrooms. There is nothing more devastating than having a tiny bladder and being a continuously thirsty, water dependent girl in the 21st century bathrooms. As young as elementary school, we have had to face horrors men could never understand. Through middle school we have had to learn how to wash blood off our clothes and yet some girls - even in a working office - still can't wipe the seat. Gross! If only that were the grossest thing girls and women face in public restrooms. For example:

1. Toilet Paper ... Everywhere.

And they are not always dry or on the floor.

2. Toilet Paper Seat... used.

Okay, covering the toilet seat to take a quick piss is totally understandable - encouraged even! But leaving it there after using it is just disgusting!

3. Period Trails

I am a girl too, and I know taking care of that tampon or pad is so not fun or clean in any sense of the word - but is it really so hard to just clean up after yourself? This is not your house, please have some respect and human decency.

4. Pad Flyers

This is just plain childish and stupid. Why, why, would you waste expensive pads by plastering them onto the stall walls and/or doors? Really?

5. Used razors

Just throw them away.

6. Used Razors... with hair.

*Barfs in mouth* that is just wrong, chick. Throw it away please

7. Toilets Unflushed... still filled with blood.

Were you raised in the wild?

8. Skid Marks

I get that you don't have that handly toilet brush with you, but we would not fault you flushing 5 times to make sure that the sh*t - excuse me - skid mark is gone. It's gross on all sides.

9. Not spraying after ending your business.

No one wants to know that that splash we just heard was a juicy turd. Please mind our noses?

10. Bringing your business into shared space.

We all get horny. Find a car or go home. Banging in a public multi-stalled bathroom is just plain rude. Get off somewhere else, girlie.

11. Lipstick writing

No one wants to clean that up. And do you really want to use that tube on your lips after smearing it in a cespool of bacteria? And why waste such a beautiful (and costly) shade?

and Bonus:

12. Sink clogging

Why, exactly, did you need to put an entire roll of paper in the sink? And the hair! Bathrooms are for peeing, pooping and hand cleaning. Take your grooming elsewhere, I beg of you.

After all the years saying boys are far more disgusting than girls, I have come to not believe it. After all, they don't bleed murder and leave it behind in a bathroom stall every 28 days, do they?

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.
