I concluded that I’d probably have gotten prosecuted as part of the Salem Witch Trials if this had happened in the Middle Ages. Me predicting the failing grade was a source of much-needed comedic relief, as we were more fixated on my clairvoyance rather than the fact that we failed. Last winter, I texted my friend, “Bro, I have a weird feeling that once I get out of the shower (bc I’m texting you mid-shower) our o-chem grades will be out, we are both failing.” After drying my hair, I checked my phone to see a missed call from my friend and a text saying, “WHAT IN THE WITCHCRAFT, WE FAILED!!!!” In fact, this phenomenon has recently been coined as “shower thoughts” definitely check out the “showerthoughts” subreddit because our brains are really out here wildin’ in the shower).įor me, it’s impossible to not have some form of internal reflection while showering and if not internal reflection, then some weird gut feeling about the future.

Don’t worry-you are not alone, because everyone seems to experience this. Have you ever been struck with a genius idea in the middle of showering? Or chanced upon a random, extremely satisfying insight? Or entered a deep train of thought about your own life? Your answer is probably “yes” for almost every shower you’ve taken, or at least for those hot, cozy, long showers.
