11 Thoughts We Have When Showering In Communal Showers
College Times

Throw on those shower shoes, grab your shower caddy and get ready to get clean. Surrounded by the other 20 girls on your floor. College living comes with the loss of the luxury of showering in your own shower. So many thoughts run through our heads while we're in there. Here's just a few that come up during the journey that is showering in a communal shower.

1. There better not be anyone in my shower or I'll kick them out.

I shower in one shower and one shower only. I named my shower. Her name is Petunia. Petunia is mine. Don't shower in Petunia.

2. Is anyone going to be able to tell if I don't wash my hair? Nah.

That's what dry shampoo is for.

3. Imagine how gross it would be if I dropped my toothbrush in here.

No question I would have to get a new one. Who knows what kind of bacteria lives on these floors. Ew!

4. I should really invest in a shower speaker so everyone can jam to JBiebs with me.

I wish I was the one with the aux when the bathroom is bumpin'.

5. Damn, the girl next to me has some good smelling shampoo. I should snag some.

Would she notice if I slid my hand under the stall and pumped a little in my hand? OK, yeah that would be creepy.

6. Is that my hair?...nope...not mine.

Nine times out of 10 it's not my hair. But, somehow it gets stuck to me. Or my towel. Or the wall, shower curtain or in the drain.

7. I wonder if the girl playing music can hear me low-key harmonizing.


If someone is playing music, you can guarantee I'm singing along. Thanks for providing the tunes, musical floor-mate.

8. How the heck am I supposed to shave my legs in here?

This school gives me about .2 square feet to take a shower. Putting my leg up is nearly impossible in such a small space. Would it be at all possible to install some shelves or something in here? Please. My legs are too long for this.

9. Praying that I hear the toilet flush before the water burns my skin off.

Counting down 'til I here the next flush so I can thrust myself out from under the water in time to escape the wrath of Satan's rain. I take a maximum of 15 minutes in the shower. Calm your bladders.

10. I wonder how many guys are gonna witness me sloshing back to my room in my towel.

Even though there are only girls living on this floor, guys always seem to be wandering around right when I walk out of the bathroom. Just my luck, right? Hey boys.

11. Damn, I forgot my key. Now I'm gonna be locked out in the hallway naked.

Well, I survived showering in the communal shower once again. Good thing I can't get back in. Where the heck are my roommates? This is why we should all shower at the same time.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

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.
