The Age Old Question: Should The Toilet Paper Roll Over Or Under

This is how we roll.

The Age Old Question: Should The Toilet Paper Roll Over Or Under
Wikipedia

A good part of my days are spent in the restroom. It's not only my quiet time, but it's also my time where I question: Should the toilet paper roll over or under? From this point on, you're probably going to think I'm an absolute goober for being more concerned with which way the toilet paper should roll instead of who should be our next president. But this is the age old question since the invention of the TP.

The TP was invented so that we didn't have to use the same rag to wipe ourselves every time we make an uh-oh. If you think about it, most of us make sure that the TP rolls over without even knowing that we do it. But what about those people who put it on backwards? Do they live their life the same way? I mean are you that misguided that you show zero concern for which way your toilet paper rolls? Or am I looking too far into this?

Whatever, I'm going to dive deeper. When you're TP-ing someone's house, you're obviously going to make your roll unravel over, rather than under, right? Of course, you are! Because if you threw it the other way, it wouldn't unravel and you'd just be throwing a roll of TP for no reason. And just so everyone knows, I am in no way encouraging TP-ing anyone's house. I was just using that as an example.

What kind of heathen makes it so their toilet paper rolls under? And don't even get me started on those people who leave their toilet paper sitting next to the toilet or on the tank, or don't even. Were you raised by wolves? You don't deserve a bathroom. In fact, you don't even get a port-a-potty, because Lord knows you wouldn't even have the decency to leave a new roll. You know what? I'm done with you. Go back to your caveman style of living.

Now I turn to you all, my beloved readers. Which way should the toilet paper roll? Does it go over or under? My father, like myself, agrees that it should always roll over and should he see a roll that is under, he makes it a point to correct it. Go to your bathrooms right now. Go ahead, I'll wait...

Did you check? Which way does it roll? If it rolls under, just know that you're wrong and I hate you. Debate with your friends, which way should the toilet paper actually roll? If you do it the correct way, shame the other person into knowing that they're misguided and need to change. Don't actually do that; that's mean. But seriously, let me know what you think.

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.
