Question Why Are Some of the Women on Campus So Nasty??

19 Upvotes

The question is in the title! Warning: I have a certain degree of OCD and I promise I'm not trying to be mean..but seriously..WTF??

I go in the bathroom and it's disgusting! Hair gunk in the showers that clog the drain (it'snot that hard to grab paper towels and pick up your hair after showers), toothpaste in the sink (takes 3 seconds to rinse it out), period blood on the toilet/floor (Really?? Does hepatitis/HIV mean anything to you?), and the lack of handwashing is 🤮🤮🤮 I hope you have your polio vaccinations because fecal matter is how it spreads! Someone came out of the bathroom after taking a duece, looked in the mirror and just walked out! I used the restroom the other day and heard a girl brush her teeth, use mouthwash but didn't bother to rinse the sink out when she was finished! No one wants to see your spit in the sink! Again 🤮🤮🤮 The RAs told us about this during welcome week and about being courteous and cleaning up after ourselves due to the dorms being shared spaces, but it seems like no one gives a shit! I'm so scared of touching nobs and handles, I use paper towels to turn on/off the showers and open doors because I'm afraid of getting a fungal infection or worse lol..it's not funny but I couldn't help but laugh at how gross this is. Y'all are young girls/women! Did we not learn about personal hygiene or etiquette from our parents? I feel sorry for your future partners if this isn't corrected. I don't expect you guys to be neat/clean freaks, but pretty please have some sense of class and consideration for others so we're not passing around staph infections! Am I the only one who is bothered by this or do others feel the same way and just don't say anything?

Question Professors not responding to rec letter requests - what should I do?

3 Upvotes

Im applying to master’s programs this cycle, with some of my earliest deadlines around December 1, and I’m having trouble getting responses from professors about recommendation letters.

I initially emailed several professors I’ve taken classes with and who I thought could speak positively about my work. I have also sent follow-up emails, but most of them still have not responded. I understand that this is a busy point in the quarter, so I don’t want to keep emailing them to the point where it becomes annoying.

So, I wanted to ask if it’s normal for professors not to respond to recommendation requests through email as it has been 2 weeks? Another thing I could try is going to their office hours, but I can’t find the times since I’m no longer in their classes. If anyone knows how to find those, it would be very helpful.
