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!

For some of us, coming to college was the first time we ever had to share a room. It was a big change, but a fun one. As you meet more and more people over the course of your college career, it seems to be a pattern that you will at some point have that one friend that doesn't live with you, but acts like they do. We call those people, "Honorary Roommates" and here are 11 signs you have one in your life.

We all have a person, and when that person makes some new friends, we tend to forget all the great things that can come out of it. Never forget how special they are to you and why you are best friends.

Toilet Troubles

"So, usually I would never go on a Tinder date but when you are out with girlfriends and a hot Bosnian guy says he wants to hang with you and his friends, you oblige. We head to their apartment and when I realized I may pee my pants if I don't find a bathroom soon. I ask for the bathroom and a friend of my tinder date shows me to it and said in all seriousness that I was not allowed to flush the toilet under ANY circumstances. Having a few drinks--or five--I relieved myself to, nevertheless, flush the toilet. Within seconds, his bathroom was flooded and towels were laid out everywhere to catch the toilet water. To say the least, we were not invited back"
