I think that all college students will agree that showering on campus is not like showering at home; especially if you're like me and had multiple bathrooms in your home (what is sharing a bathroom????). You often have to worry about flip-flops and finicky water heaters as well as if there is even room in the bathroom for you to shower. Here is my list of tips and products to invest in to make your shower experience at college a bit easier.

1. Invest in a robe

I did not have a robe until a few months into my sophomore year and it made things so much easier.


See? Doesn't she look happy?

2. If you dye your hair, color depositing conditioner is a must

Try Overtone. So many colors to mix and match to find your hair color and the treatment that works for you.


3. If you shave, moisturizing razor blades are a savior

I love this brand. No need for shave gel or cream. Plus is moisturizes and the shave is so close.

4. Long hair = claw clips

These things. Ya, they're great.

5. Coconut oil. Coconut oil. Coconut oil

After shower conditioner. Overnight facial moisturizer. Body moisturizer. Makeup remover. There are so many things you can do with it.

6. Sugar + coconut oil + essential oil = cheap sugar scrub

You're welcome.

7. Multiple towels

You should wash your towels regularly. Just do it. Get another towel so you don't have to always do laundry. But wash your towels

8. Waterproof phone case/plastic storage bag

Music helps me keep track of my time and it's fun to dance. This way you don't ruin your phone.

9. Makeup in the shower is a no no

Just don't do it. Here.

10. You don't have to shower every day

If all you do is go to class or just lay in bed one day, don't feel like you have to shower for the sake of showering. It can be bad for your skin.

11. Mysterious pain? Try a hot shower!

Literally will solve half of your medical problems.

I like to think of showering as me time. I take at least one shower a week when I know my roommate isn't going to be in the room when I'm done so I don't have to rush to dress. There is no reason for this part of college to be stressful.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
