Alright, folks.
I know that some of you are heading off to college.
And you’re nervous.
So let me answer one question that you’re all thinking about and spare you some awkwardness and embarrassment:
You do not need to ask to use the bathroom in college.
You do not need to ask to use the bathroom in college.
YOU DO NOT NEED TO ASK TO USE THE BATHROOM IN COLLEGE.
That is all.
My favourite part of this advice is that it implies that the writer learned this the hard way.
When I was attending a sort of trade school primarily aimed at people over the age of 25, one of our instructors insisted that we ask for permission to use the restroom.
He was the only one to even attempt this, all the other instructors treated us like adults because… you know… we fucking are.
Anyway, he stopped pretty quickly once “Hey teacher, I need to take a shit!” became a frequent part of the general vocabulary…
