Yes, Men, You Should Totally Be Putting The Toilet Seat Down Every Single Time You Go

Since I'm a feminist, I'm all for equality, but this is where I draw the line.

When I was scrolling through Facebook, I came across this picture:

Which was posted by an account with the title, "The Tasteless Gentleman."

Now, because I'm a feminist, I'm all for equality and doing stuff for my boyfriend, etc., etc. But this is where I draw the line. And here's why:

EVERYONE should be putting the toilet seat AND lid down BEFORE they flush the toilet each time.

Otherwise, pee and poop will fly into the air and get on all the stuff in your bathroom, and can even travel to other rooms of your home.

Here are a few things I keep in my bathroom that I definitely do not want poop and pee on:

1. My toothbrush

2. The towels I use to dry off after a shower

3. The hand towel I use after I wash my hands and brush my teeth

4. My hairbrush

5. Um, everything else

Don't believe me? The MythBusters actually did a segment on this. They placed multiple toothbrushes around a bathroom, and two outside of the bathroom. At the end of a month, every single toothbrush had fecal matter on them. Even the ones placed outside the bathroom.

So, men, and ladies, please put the toilet seat and lid down every time you go. Otherwise, you're brushing your teeth with poop, and that's really gross.

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.

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.
