CLEAN UP YOUR SHIT: rant on community bathrooms

Hello! I have a 2 hour layover in San Francisco, so I thought, why not make a new post! Hopefully I can whip something out in 45 minutes or less because the Internet will cut off then...ok enough explaining; let's get to the point.

COMMUNITY BATHROOMS

So, I'm in a traditional residence hall at Baylor, and that usually means the utilization of community bathrooms. Seriously girls, YOU ARE GIRLS. Pick up after yourselves.

MY TOILET RANT:
I don't want to see that you had an explosive diarrhea and totally missed the toilet.
I don't want to see your pubic hair all over the toilet seat.
I don't want to see your menstrual blood on the toilet seat either. (I don't want to get your diseases...)

MY SHOWER RANT:
I didn't know you were A HAIRY APE. I really don't like picking up huge clumps of hair from the drain. It seriously looks like a little animal that drowned in the shower.
I also don't like seeing your hair displayed all across the shower walls.
I don't like seeing your nasty band-aids stuck on the walls either.
I DON'T LIKE SEEING YOUR SANITARY NAPKINS OR BLOODY TAMPONS IN THE SHOWERS!!!

Ok, now that I got that out, overall, what I want to say, PLEASE PICK UP AFTER YOURSELVES.
I do realize that we have housekeeper ladies cleaning our bathrooms, but that doesn't give you the right to trash the place. Would you treat your house the same way you've treated the public comfort room? Do you expect your mother to always clean up your shit? (Shit in the sense is taken literally. I'm hilarious sometimes)

Bottom line: college is your new home, so treat it like it is your own home.

I AM SO ASIAN

It's Sunday, I go home tomorrow, and I'M OFFICIALLY DONE WITH FALL SEMESTER!!


I had finals from Thursday to Saturday, and I am so blessed to say that I finished my first semester well.  I literally spent 76 hours in the library--excluding getting something to eat and taking showers--(yes Mommy, I practice good hygiene) studying for finals. Yes, you heard that right. 76 straight hours in the library. I brought my pillow, my blanket, and toothbrush with me at the library. If you saw me in the library, you might have thought I was homeless or something. That's hardcore studying for you right there. I AM SO ASIAN


No worries, I didn't have a mental breakdown/freak out like this girl:






And I have to say, all that studying paid off because God has blessed me with wonderful grades this semester. I started this semester not knowing how to study, socializing more than I could manage, and getting little sleep. Everything has changed (except the sleep part), and I am so grateful for everything. I am looking forward to seeing my family, getting plenty sleep, and eating healthy food. Seriously, I take all these for granted.


In any case, life is good. :)

PROUD TO BE A BAYLOR BEAR

At this point, many college football fans (and other random people surfing the Internet) know that Baylor's very own Robert Griffin III won the Heisman Trophy last night. Though I am not a huge fan of organized sports, (I'm pretty sure I only went to 3 home football games this season), I guess RGIII is awesome advertisement for our already rich school.

Sure, Baylor has an awesome athletic program, but if it wasn't for the strong accounting program (we're somewhere in the top 10 schools in the CPA passing rate), I wouldn't be here. It's too damn expensive.

"Bad Company Corrupts Good Character"

This is going to be a serious entry. Much has been going on since last time I posted. Everything that has happened to me in the past month made me realize my priorities, who I am as a person, and what influences have affected me.
First of all, academically (I know I said this before), I am refocused ono my goal. It costs nearly $40,000 to attend Baylor, and I don't want to regret not using up my whole potential. I chose to come to Baylor because it has a strong Business/Accounting department.

I am not here to party.
I am not here to get involved in petty friendship dramas.
I am here to get an education.

Secondly, I realized that by being here at Baylor has made me grow into a more independent person. It's just me and God. I don't have parents telling me what to do. I make my own decisions whether that involves my social life, job, etc. For this reason, I think I have been more assertive in situations; I have become an even more practical person moved by reason.

By "growing up," I branched off from the group of "friends" I hung out with. First off, I'm not saying now that I'm away from college, I am the most mature person in the world and that I have such a firm foundation in myself. No. I'm saying that I'm looking at life in a new perspective. The friends I made in my first few weeks of college were not helping me in any aspect of my life.

Now here's the good stuff ;)

We all know the saying: "as iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another." I realized that I was associating myself with a bunch of people who did not value hard-work like I do. They feel that life is handed to them on a silver platter, the world revolves around them, and that nobody can mess up their perfect little lives. I was associating with people who only cared about themselves.

I left my so called "friends."

I didn't leave just because I didn't like associating with a bunch of ignorant, rich kids that were full of themselves, but there was so much drama, backstabbing, and gossip that it was too much for me emotionally.

By leaving the group, that was one of the best decisions I made in college so far. I have been doing better academically, emotionally, spiritually, and physically. The Bible really is true when it says "bad company corrupts good character."
