The bathroom: A challenge I did not expect to humble me.
Life will humble you! One of my biggest challenges when I initially started university was sharing a bathroom with eight to ten other girls. Granted, I was one of the lucky ones; I was staying in a hostel with master bedrooms and ensuite bathrooms. Unlike other hostels, where each block had only one bathroom, which meant that up to 15-20 girls may share one bathroom, which most likely didn't even have a sink. Girls would rush up to the bathroom as soon as the cleaners were finished, if at all possible. We shared roosters, taking turns cleaning the room and bathrooms each day because our rooms were ensuite and we didn't have cleaners. We had control over how clean the place was, and whoever defaulted was held accountable. Nonetheless, as the saying goes, "rules are made to be broken," so the girls would clean whenever they wanted or not clean at all, citing various excuses. My Bathroom Fear. Bathing time, on the other hand, was one of my greatest concerns. why?
