An Open Letter To The Class I Hate

I don't actually hate you.

I've always known I was going to go to college. And I've always wanted to get a quality education.

But this is not what I pictured.

To graduate from my, and most other, Universities and Colleges, you must complete a certain amount of undergrad classes. Yes yes, we all know this. But I had no idea what types of classes would be in these lists to chose from.

I have never had a problem in school. I've typically enjoyed my time in my classes. So I never, in a million years, thought about these classes that I would be forced to chose from.

I browsed this section of the list carefully and with one eye closed, hoping then, just maybe, the courses would disappear. I took music in high school, I barely passed the final because I can't play a recorder to save my life. The last time I took an art class was in 5th grade.. seriously. I am the least artsy person you will ever meet.

Science is my strong suit and always has been so straying away from that felt like I was cheating on my favorite subject.

However, junior year of high school, my friends and I went to the art museum in Saint Louis. Mostly because that is what everyone did, so of course we had to as well.

I enjoyed our time at the art museum. I felt butterflies in my stomach when looking at a painting so large you needed to stand on the other side of the room just to get the full picture. I really enjoyed this "thing" that I had never seen before.

So when looking through the list, art history left the least bitter taste in my mouth. I went for it and I have never looked back. I feel very out of place in my class, simply because I lack the same vocabulary that 95% of the class has.

I find this class to be extremely interesting and eye-opening, especially for someone who has never been very interested in the arts.

Everyone always says that college is the time to take the class that interests you but is outside your major. And I fully support this idea. I thoroughly enjoy my art class even if it's not biology.

We call those people, "Honorary Roommates" and here are 11 signs you have one in your life.

Toilet Troubles

"So, usually I would never go on a Tinder date but when you are out with girlfriends and a hot Bosnian guy says he wants to hang with you and his friends, you oblige. We head to their apartment and when I realized I may pee my pants if I don't find a bathroom soon. I ask for the bathroom and a friend of my tinder date shows me to it and said in all seriousness that I was not allowed to flush the toilet under ANY circumstances. Having a few drinks--or five--I relieved myself to, nevertheless, flush the toilet. Within seconds, his bathroom was flooded and towels were laid out everywhere to catch the toilet water. To say the least, we were not invited back"
