The shower is where we can totally disconnect from all our troubles and distractions around us. One's mind begins to wander, so what is it about the soapy shower session where we have the most brilliant, hilarious, or weird thoughts? I have gathered my friend's thoughts on what they think of while they shower, so here it is:
1. "I pretty much think about my plan for the day and what shit I need to do and go for it and I also forget I sometimes have a tattoo on my leg and wonder why the dirt is not coming off." -Matt
I definitely forget I sometimes have my tattoo on my forearm and I would just be mindlessly scrubbing it and trying to get it off, but in reality, it is there forever.
2. "I take cold showers for the most part, so all I'm thinking about is usually how cold the shower is." -Carson
I do not see how on earth you can take COLD showers?!? But, I always think about how nice and warm the shower is and how I can just sit down and go to sleep.
3. "I think about stuff. You sometimes." -Paul (my boyfriend)
Ooo-la-la.
4. "Do I really want to shave today? What if I only shave one leg? Would that be weird? Fine. I'll just shave both and be late to work." -Kendra
I ask myself this question time and time again. Like, do I seriously have to shave today? Can it wait until tomorrow?
5. "Here's one I had recently, 'Wait a second...Kimmy Schmidt is Erin from The Office!'" (I have not seen either show in over six months) -Karin
Cannot relate to this, because I have never seen The Office before. Oops.
6. "I think about all of the snappy comebacks I missed out on on prior conversations." -Ian
Trust me, there would have been a lot of those, Ian.
7. "I usually sing, but lately my showers have been rushed so I have not had the chance." -Brady
Ever noticed when we sing in the shower, our voices have become possessed by the singing Gods? Because, I know when I sing (in my opinion) that I sound like a dying whale, but in the shower I sound like a God. Weird.
Everyone has different thoughts while they take a shower, whether it is about how your day went, how you are going to talk to your crush, or even to practice a monologue (I have done that before for class). Just know that even the simplest thoughts can change the world. Who knows you might be the next person on QVC displaying your product.
