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.

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.
