13 Catchy Songs To Sing For 20 Seconds While Washing Your Hands, So You Never Catch Coronavirus

In This Article:

If coronavirus (COVID-19) has taught us anything, it's to wash our hands. According to the CDC, washing your hands is crucial for avoiding sickness but it needs to be done properly — so, yes, even if you've been doing it all along, you may need to change your technique. Aside from soap and hot water, the most important part of hand-washing is the timeframe. You need to scrub your hands for at least 20 seconds to ensure optimal cleanliness.

Traditionally, we've encouraged one another to sing "Happy Birthday" twice from beginning to end to reach this time minimum, but with all our extra washing, the tune has gotten old. Thankfully, there are plenty of other songs to add to your hand-washing playlist!

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old."

It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.
