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.

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.

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
