Most Depressing Places On Campus Volume IX: The VP Basement Bathrooms
December 11, 2015 at 10:14 am
It's finals season, which means you're likely to spend a lot of time in the basement of Van Pelt...and because all those cups of coffee/cans of Red Bull/other stimulants have to go somewhere, you'll probably spend some time in those bathrooms too. It'd be nice to take a break from it all in a welcoming and hygenic place but that's just not the reality of the situation.
The first thing you'll notice about the bathroom is that the entire thing is colored with a clinical shade of not-quite-mint green. As if finals aren't painful enough, you now get to be reminded of scary, repressed memories of childhood visits to the doctor for those yucky booster shots. Maybe your econ final really won't be THAT bad, after all.
If you're visiting the ladies' room, don't forget to look to your left to check out your reflection in the mirror. The fluorescent lighting really brings out the mortality in your eyes. And yes, your hair IS flat—it's tired and sad, just like the rest of your mind, body, and soul. Work it gurl!
PROTIP: Don't forget to keep an eye on the stall doors. They tend to open on their own, for the sole purpose of making your life even more difficult. Happy finals!
