You Clog it You Plunge It

Yea i know, this seems self explanitory but it is is topic that needs to be discussed. Like previously talked about their are only 5 stalls for 41 girls. When one is labled with an "out of order" sign this is a much bigger deal than you may think. I know theirs some kind of myth that girls dont go #2 but trust me one week in a female communal bathroom and youll be a believer. Having one stall out of commission  makes the other ones extra used wich usually makes them extra gross or means their may not be toilett paper (so check before you go). Their is a lovely plunger located in one of the stalls so if you have an issue just use it, its there for a reason not becasue its cute. Girls tend to use WAY too much toilett papaer it doesnt help that the generic brand here might as well be a subsitute for sandpaper but still half a role can be clogged in one toilett. Plunging can be intimidating becasue as girls living at home that was always a dad thing. But this is a girls only bathroom so your on your own. Practice makes perfect. I dont know maybeyou can make it a fun activity with your friends i dont care just get it plunged. PLEASE

Musical Shower Caddies

Once upon a time a long ways ago back in August of 2011 their was a girl named Ashlyn. She was very excited to start her college years and couldn't wait to live in a dorm. She spent countless hours shopping to get herself ready for this adjustment. Purchases included bedding, pillows, lamps, picture frames and many more. Though her most important purchase was a shower caddy. This was a difficult purchase because their are many varieties to this shower necessity. After a long debate i picked a smaller version because i didn't want to be "that girl" with the huge shower caddy. Boy was that a mistake. When i arrived at my first day i noticed that the bathroom was filled with big, bulky shower caddies and i was in shock. I had then become "that girl" with the small shower caddy. I cant win. That's not even the best part. The wall between the showers and the bathroom stalls are shelves for the shower caddies to be placed. This can become a problem however since their a 41 girls and 40 of them have huge caddies. It almost a constant game of musical shower caddies. Every time after you shower theirs that awkward moment where you decide where to put your caddy. I have noticed that some caddies stay in the same place. The upper clansmen have their spots and will not settle for any place but. Its important to place yours in a non marked spot. This may just seem ridiculous but to the girls who live in Hainer second floor east its a reality we face everyday.

Shaveless Showers

I know i have mentioned how small the shower stalls are but this week this issue has become a lot bigger. Now i know its winter and girls are beginning to start shaving their legs less (yes for the guys reading this girls don't shave as often on the winter get over it) but shaving is becoming the worst thing ever. The shower stalls are so small that shaving is actually becoming a skill in desperate need of development. Right when you out the shaving cream on theirs no room to put your leg out of water so it washes off before you can even put the razor to your leg. You cant just put your leg out of the shower without flashing the whole bathroom which obviously is not an option. Not only does this waste your shaving cream (which skintamate is almost $3 a can) but it increases shaving time by about 150%. Never in my life has it taken me 5 min a leg to shave. Honestly i thought i would have problems in a communal bathroom as an incoming freshman but never in my wildest dreams did i imagine shaving being one of them. So for all you girls who are thinking "i haven't shaved in a week" you are not alone and no need to be self conscious because i have a silver lining...it jeans season! Happy pant wearing!

Temp Troubles

After a hard days work all you want to do is relax and unwind in the shower. The only thing worst than a cold shower is not knowing what temperature your gonna get. In half of the showers when you turn the knob to warm it turns cold and when you turn cold it goes warm...I know annoying right? The trick is knowing what stalls play this game. Is it stalls 1,2 and 4? or is it 3,4 and 5? Half of the time by the time I get to shower its late at night and i could fall asleep standing up. The last thing on my mind is which shower to choose not to mention when some are in use you dont always have a choice. The shower stalls are barley big enough to even standing in let alone be able to get out of super hot or cold water. Its hard to enjoy the only part of the day where im actually alone when the temperature sucks. Im hoping that the maintence people around here will actually get around to fixing this to improve the showering part of my day. Heres a video of someone who enjoys their bathroom..enough to sing about it http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bje_8Y7KUfM&feature=fvst
