Realities Of A One Toilet Household

There will be physical fights for the bathroom.

Having only one bathroom in a house is usually a distant memory for most. But for me, it is 100% a reality. I've heard stories about kids having their own bathrooms or husbands and wives not even using the same bathroom at home. That's just crazy. The bathroom is definitely big enough for two people and sometimes even three!

1. You're going to get really comfortable with your family.

Someone in the shower, someone on the toilet, some one brushing their teeth. There are many more combinations that I could discuss but I think you get the picture. It may seem gross, but sometimes it has to be done.

2. Scheduling is key.

Every morning we all have our set schedule. If I have to get up half hour early to go to school or a meeting I need to tell the rest of my family. Not because I need to check in with them but because that throws off the entire bathroom schedule. In bathroom etiquette, early is not appreciated. Everyone has the allotted amount of time in the bathroom- no more, no less.

3. When you gotta go you gotta go.

There will be a ton of times that you have to pee and someone is in the bathroom. You frantically pound on the door and scream at them until they get out. They may hate you for a while but that's okay.

4. There will be physical fights for the bathroom.

Imagine coming home from a long trip and you and your sibling both need to pee. There's gonna be a race/fight to the bathroom. I have been tackled, tripped, you name it, it's happened.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
