17 Thoughts You Have While Showering In East Halls’ Communal Bathrooms

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at PSU chapter.

Communal dorm showers are a very, very unfortunate rite of passage for most college students.

Here are 17 things we’ve all thought about in the shower – more specifically, in the East Halls’ showers.

 

1. I should probably shower since I can’t really remember the last time I did that

 

2. I really hope my favorite stall isn’t taken

 

And of course it is.

 

3. Well, I really hope the water’s hot today

 

4. I should stop “really hoping” for things because it doesn’t seem to be working out for me

 

5. These shower stalls look eerily similar to the ones in Orange is the New Black

 

6. Basically I’m in prison right now. This shower stall is prison

 

7. EW, hair that isn’t mine. Ew, ew, ew

 

8. I shed so much. How am I not bald yet?

 

9. How am I supposed to shave my legs in here?!

 

10. A man DEFINITELY invented these. No woman would have ever made it this difficult to shave – the struggle is hard enough without having to do a balancing act 

 

11. GAH, my butt touched the wall

 

12. I wonder how many butts have touched this wall

 

13. I wonder how many people have had sex in this shower stall

 

14. I wish Dylan O’Brien was in here with me

 

15. I’m done, but I don’t wanna leave. The outside world is too cold

 

16. Okay, I’m getting pruney now. It’s time to get out

 

17. Oh, dorm showers. We love to complain about you, but at least we don’t have to clean you
