Thoughts From The Bathroom

Everybody poops.

Thoughts From The Bathroom
The Jules Eye

My roommate from this past summer, being the wonderful weirdo that she is, would always rejoin the conversation after a trip to the john by saying, “thoughts from the bathroom!” With a grin on her face, she would list off three or four things she noticed or thought about while upon the porcelain throne. As a display of homage to this eccentric friend of mine, I spent the past week asking people if they had any lingering thoughts or anything noteworthy to say after exiting the bathroom.

“ I sat on the toilet so long watching vines, when I got up I fell over because my legs were spaghetti from all the time I spent laughing at vines while pooping.”


“My life is probably going down this toilet with everything else.”


*looks through crack* *makes eye contact* “Hi Susan.”


“Great now I have to wait for her to leave..”


“I like their shoes!”


“Bro is wearing white socks and flip flops? Must be Stav.”


“Someone else just boldly poops and I’m like, ‘You go Glenn Coco!’”


“If I just boldly take a poop, will everyone recognize it was me by my shoes?”


“Why is this tampon wrapper louder than a freaking jet engine?!”


“Damn, that was a good workout. I definitely don’t need to do abs later.”


“Ugh no one’s changed the posters in here. Now what do I read?”


“I silently judge all the people that leave the bathroom without washing their hands.”


“Yep. I’m regular.”

If I have gained anything from this experiment, it’s that it is extremely entertaining to watch your friends reactions when you casually ask, “so any thoughts from the bathroom?” At the end of the day, there’s actually a lot of commonality between the things each person thinks about while on the commode: often my friends would cackle after such a conversation as they screeched, “Oh my god I had the same thought yesterday!” Let’s face it, we all need some comic relief to make it through the week sometimes and everyone gets a kick out of bathroom humor.

Parks and Recreation excitedly gathered around a laptop at a table in an office setting.

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

Students walking on a sunny college campus with trees and buildings.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.
