I'm The Girl Who's Always In The Shower, Don't Judge Me

I know I take long showers. Here's why.

I'm The Girl Who's Always In The Shower, Don't Judge Me

A while ago, I wrote an article about what I as an education major think about while in the shower. It's true, I do think about those things while in the shower. But I also think of other things while there as well. This has led me to think about this thing: why do I take long showers? It has been a thing with me since I was little. My showers tend to range from 10 minutes to maybe even 20 minutes depending on what I do (if I decide to shave my legs that shower is a big factor).

The last shower that I took, I was thinking a lot. As well as potentially using up all of the hot water so I'm sorry, Sam. But while in there, a thought came to my mind.

Why do I take very long showers? Is it because I think a lot? Is it because I have an intricate shower routine? Is it just because I like standing in the hot water?

The answer is all three.

As a female, we don't just wash our hair, wash our body, and then call it a day. We have to deal with a variety of things and we care for our bodies differently than the male of the species. Wow, I really said that with my whole chest. But it's true.

Along with that, a lot of my ideas for things come while standing in the shower. I don't know why, but it is a thing. Where do you think I came up with my thoughts education major have while taking a shower article? Where did I come with the idea for this article? In the shower. I probably came up with almost all of my article ideas from this year in the shower.

So that is my conclusion as to why I take very long showers. As to the standing in hot water part, I don't know I just like the feeling of it. Don't judge me.

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.
