CHILL OUT: Bathroom Issues
youtube

People nowadays are getting all worked up and offended about things that really don't matter that much. Now I'm not talking about the big issues like abortion, or guns, or religion, or homosexuality or anything like that. I'm talking about the little things that people freak out about that really aren't going to exponentially affect humanity in any way. This new segment I'm starting will address various issues that people really need to chill out about. Today I'm talking about:

BATHROOM ISSUES

Your business in the bathroom is your business. Buuuuuuut....everybody poops. It's just a fact of life. People get really weird about stuff that goes on in the bathroom. Either you are super awkward any time anybody talks about any kind of bodily function or you think poop, butt, and fart jokes are absolutely hilarious and can't stop cracking them at inappropriate times. There are definitely things about the bathroom that people freak out about WAY TOO MUCH.
Toilet Paper. I have seen people rage about which way the toilet paper goes. If you have a preference, then just change it. It literally takes 3 seconds.
Speaking of changing toilet paper, why do people get SO upset when they go to the bathroom and find an empty toilet paper roll? You should always check for TP before you sit your butt down! If you don't and you find out there is no toilet paper, that really sucks. I've been there and I would not like to go back. But you shouldn't blame the person who used the last of the previous roll. It would've been nice to replace it but unless you laid some ground rules about TP replacement and restocking, it's not their responsibility to replace the TP. So just chill.
Toilet seats. Girls, calm the heck down about toilet seats. If you come in the bathroom and the seat is in the upright position, the wrong choice is to yell and scream and go kick your brother/husband/male housemate. With one little finger, you can just push the seat back down and ta da!! Totally ready for your tush to do what it needs to do. If you don't want to use your finger than you can just as easily use your foot. "Well I bet you've never run into the bathroom and sat in the toilet because seat was up and got your booty all wet!!" Yes. Yes I have. I have 4 brothers and a father who all happen to pee with the seat up and often leave it that way. But it was my fault for failing to see the blatantly obvious upright toilet seat. Like I said before, it's not their responsibility to put the toilet seat back down. It's polite and courteous, but should not be an expectation. Just look where you're putting your bare bum or it's going to get wet!
Justifiable freak out: Pee/hair on the toilet seat. That's just gross. Clean up your mess. Sheesh.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

sisters

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions. So, if you are aware that you’re a Starbucks addict as well, or maybe you need to check to see if you’re an addict, here are seven ways to tell.

It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective. The following aren’t foolproof tips and may not apply to you, but I was able to find success with them (hope you do too!)
