15 Things I Won't Miss About Dorm Life
Jenna Carey

As I finish my sophomore year of college, my dorm days are coming to an end, and I really couldn't be more excited. Don't get me wrong, the dorm life is fun for a little while, but it's definitely time for me to move on. Here are 15 things I won't miss about living in a dorm:


1. Living in an 8 x 8 box with another human being

2. Sharing a bathroom (and more importantly, a shower) with too many other people

3. Having to walk several minutes just to eat crappy dining hall food

4. Dealing with ridiculously early quiet hours

5. Hearing literally everything that your neighbor is doing because the walls are so thin

6. Never vacuuming and then being annoyed by the clumps of hair that collect all over the floor

7. Having to shove your entire wardrobe into three shallow drawers

8. Lugging your laundry down several flights of stairs... and paying for it

9. Sleeping on a thin, hard, twin-size bed

10. Roasting in your non-air conditioned room during the first two months of the year

11. Not being able to control the heat, and roasting when it's cranked all the way up, too

12. Fighting for a parking space that isn't more than a ten minute walk to your room

13. Constantly wearing headphones while watching your nightly Netflix

14. Not having enough space to store all of your take-out boxes in your mini fridge

15. Checking in and out with your RA every time you breathe (Okay, not really... but it gets little excessive)

So, here's to off campus housing! Happy summer, kids!

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

College is a great place to meet people, especially through Greek life. If you look closely at sororities, you'll quickly see there are many different types of girls you will meet.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
