We college students understand how we won't pay $3 for a toilet plunger if we can help it. Here is a solid method to unclog your toilet without needing a toilet plunger (and it doesn't involve sticking your hand down there)! Enjoy.

1. Pour dish soap or shampoo into the toilet bowl 

This will loosen up the contents clogging the toilet (unless it's a tennis ball or something)

2. Pour hot water into the toilet bowl 

Make sure it's not boiling, or it'll break your toilet and cost far more in damages than a toilet plunger would've! The hot water will help to break down the contents.

3. Let sit for an hour

4. Re-attempt to flush

5. If it didn't work, repeat and wait more time 

If it didn't work, just put in a work order if you can. Or go buy a toilet plunger.

Now, I realize that you can't fully be there for other people unless you're there for yourself, too. You can't show up for others until you're willing to show up for yourself.

Here are five things everyone should learn in order to be a better friend to themselves. These steps are hard, but they're so worth it.

Thanksgiving Break is most likely everyone’s favorite break during the fall semester. You get to go home and reminisce with all your high school friends. That diet you’ve been on for the past month goes out the window, and you get to eat until you put yourself into a food coma. There’s no rush on homework and you can just lie in bed and Netflix to your heart’s content. To me that sounds like an ideally wonderful break, and totally stress-free.
