Bath Bar Soap
There is no shame in asking
As a college student, you use your money in ways that most people probably
don’t—perhaps because you don’t have much of it. Cutting corners financially
is almost a daily game with you. With student loans, monthly rent, money for
books, materials, gasoline, and late-night fast food, your monthly expense and
Christmas shopping supply of money is severely limited. What in the world
could you give your roommates? And what could you ever hope to receive? Well,
let’s get a little practical—having something that you need will be a lot
more helpful than having something you can look at. Why don’t you think
about asking for some bath bar soap, or some new towels? You might
actually be happier than you think, next time you don’t have to
buy toilet paper for yourself.
But let’s face it-- we all want a million dollars for Christmas. How great
a stocking that would be, stuffed with a pretty shade of green? Sadly enough,
however, very few people actually receive that kind of surprise wrapped up with
bows and strings. However, receiving usable things like toothpaste or bath bar
soap can actually save you money in the months to come. Can that really be so
bad? Stock up on those basics, and you’ll find yourself smiling even a few
weeks later. And chances are, if you actually use that bath bar soap, your
roommates will be smiling as well.
Basic household items can be easily stored and used for a long time. And
those months when the quarters are all being used for laundry purposes, you’ll
be very happy to be able to open your cupboard doors, and find a full supply
of toiletries, cleaning supplies, and refreshing bath bar soap. And those things,
if unopened, can even be reused as gifts for someone else, thus saving you even
more money in the long run.
We might as well be practical, when we start asking for things. This whole
world is rolling through a pile of economic stress. If we can give each other
the things that we truly need, we’ll find enough strength to eventually get
out of the mud and move forward. There is no shame in asking for bath bar
soap, or giving it for that matter. These are the small things that truly
matter most, and as we cater to those needs, our level of gratitude and
unity will grow in ways we never thought possible.
