Every human being poops. Sometimes people poop every other day, and some people poop two or more times in the same day. Why are so many people uncomfortable to talk about it? Just mentioning this natural phenomenon make people feel uneasy. WHY?

I know one person who refused to even say the word, "poop." She also did not say the word, "sh*t," because it is a "bad" word. I understand that people like to have clean language, but for goodness sake... If she needed to convey she needed to poop she would say, "I need to go number two." Really? Is there something dangerous about this word that she refused to say it?

I also know a lot of people refuse, or try their hardest to not poop in public. So what? There are public bathrooms there for a reason should you need to go! Take care of business with no shame!

I do feel as though products such as Poo-Pourri make going to the bathroom in public harder for people who are self conscious. While the main purpose is to eliminate the unflattering smells of pooping, you shouldn't have to feel like you need to hide what you are doing.

Their product pushes the idea that the smell will never escape the toilet, so it was like you never pooped at all. The product is small enough to fit into a purse or a large pants pocket, and you can sneak it into the bathroom with you. You can attempt to hide it from the world by using this product. Who cares?

Embrace your natural bodily function, and don't feel ashamed to poop, or talk about pooping.

But sometimes it's necessary to indulge in some guilty pleasures as well as just doing things because you can. And honestly, a lot of the time it's inevitable. College is no piece of cake that's for sure, so it's okay to do some things you deep down know you shouldn't....once in a while anyways.

I just know that the idea of releasing vault tracks came out of the moment Taylor remembered she wrote 'Is It Over Now?'

A Deep Dive Into Taylor Swift’s Albums: 1989 (Taylor’s Version) Edition
Edited by Hailey Hastings

I am fully emersed into diving deep into every single Taylor Swift album, which I do on my own all the time, but wanted to do it in a way where I am sharing what a special discography she has. I feel like 1989 is the perfect place to start, it's an era that changed everything, and will always be an album people automatically think of when you say "Taylor Swift."
