Serious Question: Is this Over-sharing??

Know what I noticed the other day? Ray B. West, the English building here on campus, does not have a bathroom. There’s one in the Family Life that is connected to RBW, but there isn’t one in the English building. The connector bridge is a whole 30 steps long, which isn’t horrendous, but why isn’t there a bathroom in RBW? These are the things I think about during class.

Maybe I’m the odd girl out, but sometimes the most important thing in life is a bathroom. Usually this is the first thing on my mind when I’ve downed a Crystal Light Energy or a large Diet Coke, but it’s still a concern on regular days. Like seriously, I’m pretty sure I pee more than normal, which is a problem when I have long, back-to-back classes. At the start of every semester, I make a point to search the buildings I have classes in for the nearest potty. I’ve been here for 3 years, and have yet to find a single bathroom, girl or boy, in the English building! What is this, potty discrimination?? Okay, take that back. I know I’m not the only one who has this issue. Sophia Rossi, co-founder of Hello Giggles, wrote an article about it. You can read it here: http://hellogiggles.com/can-you-pee-too-much

While some buildings don’t seem to have any bathrooms, I’ve discovered that the Natural Resource building only has boys bathroom’s on the 1^st floor. Girls, you have to go upstairs. Sexism!

And then as anyone who has every hit up a stall on campus knows, some bathrooms are dangerous if not avoided. Sorry BNR, but I can’t convince myself to use that bathroom. I think the fact that they were crawling with insects during the fall Box Elder bug invasion might have something to do with it. The ladies room in the TSC reminds me of a 1970’s LDS Stake Center bathroom with weird green carpet and sagging couches. And the AGRS 1^st floor bathroom reminds me of an airport for some reason. It’s definitely the nicest of the bathrooms on campus. Fully recommend stopping by.

Clearly, I have an obsession with peeing, but I think it comes with the territory of being a girl. Maybe my childhood television exposure had something to do with it. Every show from Sesame Street to Bear in the Big Blue House, tackled this issue. I have no problem admitting it either. I’ll be the first person to announce to a group of friends (good friends and family only) that I have to pee. Can I get that trademarked??

Are there bathrooms you avoid at all costs? Are all college bathrooms weird? I am just overly pre-occupied with this subject? You can get back to me in a minute, I have to pee.
