There is No Soap

And I am Mad About It

37
There is No Soap

I live on the third floor of Bowler. If you have never lived in this building this means absolutely nothing to you so let me give you the layout of my little home here in Hiram. You go up the stairs and at the top to the right is my room. I live there with my roommate Ev and it is a good time. On the other side of the stairwell is the bathroom which is really the important part of this story but we will come back to it. If you go around the stairs you will find the four other people living on our floor. None of this is really important aside from there are six of us and a one person bathroom. I know what you're thinking: I am going to go on a rant about my dirt floor mates. Well, you are wrong. We are all actually clean and hygienic; it's great. Or it was until someone in housekeeping decided we didn't need soap.

We haven't had soap in a little more than two weeks. Well, that isn't true. We have soap but we don't have the soap we pay the college to provide us with. In fact we have soap provided by me or my other broke college kid friends. At the end of the first week I figured that they just hadn't brought enough soap up the hill so I popped my hand soap on the sink and shrugged it off figuring they would put in new soap on Monday when they were back to work and that would be the end of it. Nope. It has now been two weeks; my soap is long since gone and has been replaced with a friends soap. A friend who mind you does not live on this floor and shouldn't by any means be giving us soap. This is besides the point. The point is I am mad they aren't giving us soap.

What did we do? How did we get banished from the land of people allowed to have soap? Was there an incident? Were there evil soap eating gnomes in the walls they needed to get rid of? Why did they think starving the gnomes was the best way? Could they not have set up tiny soap eating gnome traps? Where is the goddamn soap?

Don't get me wrong here, I have no problem buying my own soap. The thing is I did pay for the soap they should be giving us. It is part of the cost of my tuition. So why in the name of all the gods and goddess I believe in am I not getting the damn soap. The point is I am mad about the soap, give us our soap, I am sick and I am blaming the lack of soap, seriously give me some soap.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. 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.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
