description: "St. Sebastian's pretends it's coed by giving us our own toilet. The rest of the place is all male, and I know what you're thinking if you're a girl. What a dream come true, right? Seven hundred and fifty boys and thirty girls? But the reality is that it's either like living in a fishbowl or like you don't exist."
