How To Shower In A College Dorm

This may seem like a really random topic, but hey, it's something every freshman has to figure out, and I might as well try and save you some awkwardness.

YOU WILL NEED:
-A shower caddy filled with the essentials
-a bathrobe
-flip flops
-a towel

1. While in your room, get naked. I advise doing this in your room to avoid the discomfort of trying to undress in a cramped shower stall that might be wet.
2. Put on your robe and flip flops, and grab your supplies. Arm yourself! And make your way to the bathroom. Make sure your door is unlocked!
3. In the bathroom, set your caddy outside the shower and only take in what you'll need. I keep things like my toothbrush and facewash in my caddy, and I'd rather not have them get wet every time I shower. This is also a great time to hang up your towel.
4. Take off your flip flops, climb in the shower, and hang up your robe. The flip flops are personal preference: I know many people who shower wearing them, and I know many people who don't. I just figure hey, these bathrooms get cleaned every single day. They're not that bad. Also, I don't like trying to shower while wearing shoes.
5. Have a delightful shower!
6. when you're done, towel off. I advise doing this in the shower, then wrapping the towel around your head, putting your robe and flip flops back on, and making the trek back.

Things I Learned In College

I am nearing the end of my second year, and my little sister is getting ready to graduate. When I think back to high school, I realize just how much I have grown, matured, and learned in the last two years. So even though there will be a lot to add in the next two years, I thought I'd write down some of the things I've come to realize during my college education.

1. Everything changes. Seriously. Everything.
2. It is possible to be friends with boys. I don't know what I thought in high school, but it was something along the lines of "boys are aliens from another planet".
3. Hair straighteners work great in a pinch to iron clothes. Especially for hems and other small spots.
4. Be yourself, or you'll end up with friends who don't know the real you. Nobody wants that.
5. There is a distinct difference between boy movies and girl movies. Who knew?!?
6. The occasional C is okay. Really.
7. Community bathrooms are not that bad. I promise.
8. Most people consider hanging out in graveyards abnormal behavior. The things unique to your family may not be common practice.
9. There will be times when your academics are not your top priority. Things happen, friends need you, it's okay.
10. Most of the time, academics will be your top priority. Everyone stresses about papers and tests. That's okay too.
11. Join only the clubs you love, and get leadership positions in them. Fun times and resume building! Win-win!
12. Don't join everything, just because you don't like saying no. Too many clubs just means too much stress. It is okay to say you aren't interested.
13. You will remember the nights spent stargazing, not the nights spent studying. Live a little.
14. God's got everything under control. Let Him take your stress and worry.
