After nearly half a decade at school, I finally earned the prestigious right to use the staff bathrooms.
I discovered three things:

1. The lights actually turn on as soon as I open the door, unlike student bathrooms where you have to either hop under the sensors like an idiot for 5 minutes or do your business in the dark.
2. The locks on the bathroom doors actually do what they were intended to do so I don't have to wedge my bag under the door just to get some privacy.
3. THREE. PLY. TOILET. PAPER... SCENTED!!!

I chose to avoid my usual afternoon train for as long as possible by catching a train that takes me only halfway. I do not desire to be crowded for an entire 40 mins. :D

A few times I have gotten to use the staff toilets during working bees, and I found out they have a couch in there!!

Walking through campus center with an "I voted" sticker is empowering.

Why does one need a couch?

I don't understand either!! I don't think it's the nicest place to grab a cup of coffee and read a nice book, or have a catch up with a colleague or something! Maybe they just thought. 'oh, this looks a empty, how about adding a couch, that might jazz it up a bit', or maybe they wanted the staff toilet to be better than the student toilet 'what have you got? A shelf? Oh, well we have a couch' :P

You know, the toilet isn't a bad place to go to when you're just so sick of people and just wish for some peace and quiet. I bet that's what the couch is for. ;D ;D

When the PE double regresses into watching AFL after-siren goal compilations from Youtube. I love our teacher so much.

Edit: that sounded sarcastic, but I legit love him he’s amazing 👌🏻

I'm at a tutorial in uni right now and I have a blocked nose and all I want to do is to blow my nose but I've been sniffling so much that I think it's annoying other people in my tutorial.

Send help.
Which will hold greater rule over you? Your fear or your curiosity?

In Sydney, I see the NSW ATAR Notes ads. This excites me.
