Realities Of A One Toilet Household

There will be physical fights for the bathroom.

Having only one bathroom in a house is usually a distant memory for most. But for me, it is 100% a reality. I've heard stories about kids having their own bathrooms or husbands and wives not even using the same bathroom at home. That's just crazy. The bathroom is definitely big enough for two people and sometimes even three!

1. You're going to get really comfortable with your family.

Someone in the shower, someone on the toilet, some one brushing their teeth. There are many more combinations that I could discuss but I think you get the picture. It may seem gross, but sometimes it has to be done.

2. Scheduling is key.

Every morning we all have our set schedule. If I have to get up half hour early to go to school or a meeting I need to tell the rest of my family. Not because I need to check in with them but because that throws off the entire bathroom schedule. In bathroom etiquette, early is not appreciated. Everyone has the allotted amount of time in the bathroom- no more, no less.

3. When you gotta go you gotta go.

There will be a ton of times that you have to pee and someone is in the bathroom. You frantically pound on the door and scream at them until they get out. They may hate you for a while but that's okay.

4. There will be physical fights for the bathroom.

Imagine coming home from a long trip and you and your sibling both need to pee. There's gonna be a race/fight to the bathroom. I have been tackled, tripped, you name it, it's happened.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
