And they say boys are gross.

Bathrooms have been around since early civilization and have continued to grow and improve over the centuries. What has not changed, however, is how absolutely gross public restrooms are - especially the girls' bathrooms. There is nothing more devastating than having a tiny bladder and being a continuously thirsty, water dependent girl in the 21st century bathrooms. As young as elementary school, we have had to face horrors men could never understand. Through middle school we have had to learn how to wash blood off our clothes and yet some girls - even in a working office - still can't wipe the seat. Gross! If only that were the grossest thing girls and women face in public restrooms. For example:

1. Toilet Paper ... Everywhere.

And they are not always dry or on the floor.

2. Toilet Paper Seat... used.

Okay, covering the toilet seat to take a quick piss is totally understandable - encouraged even! But leaving it there after using it is just disgusting!

3. Period Trails

I am a girl too, and I know taking care of that tampon or pad is so not fun or clean in any sense of the word - but is it really so hard to just clean up after yourself? This is not your house, please have some respect and human decency.

4. Pad Flyers

This is just plain childish and stupid. Why, why, would you waste expensive pads by plastering them onto the stall walls and/or doors? Really?

5. Used razors

Just throw them away.

6. Used Razors... with hair.

*Barfs in mouth* that is just wrong, chick. Throw it away please

7. Toilets Unflushed... still filled with blood.

Were you raised in the wild?

8. Skid Marks

I get that you don't have that handly toilet brush with you, but we would not fault you flushing 5 times to make sure that the sh*t - excuse me - skid mark is gone. It's gross on all sides.

9. Not spraying after ending your business.

No one wants to know that that splash we just heard was a juicy turd. Please mind our noses?

10. Bringing your business into shared space.

We all get horny. Find a car or go home. Banging in a public multi-stalled bathroom is just plain rude. Get off somewhere else, girlie.

11. Lipstick writing

No one wants to clean that up. And do you really want to use that tube on your lips after smearing it in a cespool of bacteria? And why waste such a beautiful (and costly) shade?

and Bonus:

12. Sink clogging

Why, exactly, did you need to put an entire roll of paper in the sink? And the hair! Bathrooms are for peeing, pooping and hand cleaning. Take your grooming elsewhere, I beg of you.

After all the years saying boys are far more disgusting than girls, I have come to not believe it. After all, they don't bleed murder and leave it behind in a bathroom stall every 28 days, do they?

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
