Square Dungeon

In the last 18 years of my life i have used a variety of bathrooms and NEVER in my life has a bathroom been so depressing. When you walk into the bathroom the cheap industrial lighting is overwhelming to the naked eye. Their are no windows in this bathroom at all. That's right none, this means no natural light and even more annoying no ventilation...enough said. First off the entire bathroom is a painted in a yellow green paint, even the tiles are that color. Who would pick that color? Not only is it entirely outdated to this millennium but its just a hideous especially for a girls hall. Second what lighting their is doesn't extend to the the stalls. The bathroom is designed to when you walk in the sinks are to your left and the stalls are in a line like a mini ally. Who ever designed this bathroom i guess deiced that you don't need lighting to use the bathroom. Their are 5 stalls in the row and the lighting decreases as you go down the line. If you get stuck using the 5th stall your almost in complete darkness. Third when the showers are being used the entire bathroom gets steamed out. You walk into a hot and humid fog that will frizz up your hair in record time. All the mirrors get fogged up so you cant even use them for at least 20 in after all the showers are off. I like to imagine the makeover I could give to this bathroom. It has serious potential. A bathroom with windows and light isn't a lot to ask for but yet its the simple things that matter. Bathrooms shown in Elle magazine is what i would be happy to have here on campus even though i know for a communal bathroom this would never happen..but hey a girl can dream can't she?

Shower Buddies

Showering in the Hainer second floor east girls bathroom is never done alone. One day i was showering and noticed a small black fly on the wall I threw water on it and it moved closer towards the ceiling not actually leaving the shower. With my fear of all insects kicking in lets just say it wasn't a very long shower. When i got back into my room i told my roommate about my encounter and she too had noticed them. Ever since that night these tiny bugs are ALWAYS in the shower. You cant escape them. Becoming more and more annoyed that their not going away I got my Nancy Drew on. I googled up on these monsters to know exactly what I'm up against. My worst fear was realized dun dun dun drain flies. They fit the physical description small about and 1/8 of an inch and black. What made me sure was the moth fly  is a poor flyer and is usually seen walking or resting on surfaces. When they fly in short jerky lines, they fly for only a few feet. I also learned that they lay 30 to 100 eggs at once that hatch within 48 hours...well isn't that just perfect. The fact that we even have these bugs in the first place makes me question how clean our bathroom really even is and obviously the drains are not treated with any sort of chemical to prevent this problem. The silver lining in this situation is that they arn't spiders becasue then I would be able to shower.

Leftovers? Yum

41 girls sharing 4 sinks...as you can guess this involves a lot of sharing. As a hall we have decided to use the first sink to wash dishes, now this seems like a pretty well organized plan. This clearly has been taken to an extreme. When entering the bathroom to wash my mug I stumble upon the sink covered in soggy cereal (cinnamon toast crunch to be specific). Come on girls really? This is just gross. How am i supposed to wash my dishes in a sink filled with food? The drain of the sink is made up of tiny one inch holes, clearly the cereal wouldn't fit down. This makes me wonder weather someone has extremely poor sizing skills or they were saving this tasty treat for later. Since more than half of the bowl of cereal was dumped clearly someone wasn't very hungry making me lean toward the second option. Not to mention the fact that whoever disposed of the snack just left their mess. This is a sign of just pure laziness the trashcan is literally 2 feet behind the sink but i guess that's just too far. This truly was an eye grabber, you can't miss it right when you walk into the bathroom BOOM it smacks you right in the face. Lets open our eyes ladies because lets get real, no one wants to see your nasty leftovers.

Do you wanna shower in hair? I don't

Hair...we all have it. Girls treat their hair with the greatest care. We buy countless products that claim to make our hair softer, shinier, stronger, longer you name it we've tried it. Hair tends to be everywhere especially when its longer. On the floor, in your drain everywhere but when your living at home you don't take notice of it. When you come to college and are sharing a bathroom space with 40 other girls these types of behaviors become a lot more noticeable..and i mean a lot. It was a typical Tuesday night and i went to go take a shower i open the shower and this is what i find! Literally a chunk of hair was on the wall plastered up like some kind of crappy modern art. After getting over the initial shock of what I saw I thought to myself how one person could shed so much hair in a short time like that. I question for a second whether it was human or not.My dog doesn't even leave hair around my house like that. I then began to think of how this would even happen.Did the culprit purposefully put the hair there thinking it wasn't a big deal? or did they not even notice?  Either way this is absolutely disgusting. Who wants to shower looking at that let alone the chance of touching it. Only one word to sum it up gross.
