5 Reasons Why Mimosa Is The Best Freshman Dorm

5 Reasons Why Mimosa Is The Best Freshman Dorm

Mimosa Hall has been home to some of the best memories of my freshman year of college. Despite how awful the lack of air-conditioning has been, the fire-prone building has been my beloved home for the past eight months. Coming into the school year, I was nervous that living in one of the traditional dorms on campus. But as everyone in Mimosa has come to know, it is truly the best freshman dorm on campus.

1. You get roommates and suitemates.

You have four other people who you get to know pretty well, besides your roommate. That being said, you're either going to love them or get pretty sick of them real quick.

2. You have a lounge to hang out in when you get sick of your room.

Technically, you're not supposed to sleep in the lounge, but I know multiple people who have. Some nights, the RAs have free food if you sign into their programs, so why not go?

3. You get your own bathroom.

You might have to clean it yourself, but you can literally do whatever you want to your bathroom. You don't have to use the communal bathrooms and you know exactly who was using it.

4. You are in the middle of campus.

You can wake up 10 minutes before class and make it there in five with time to spare unless you're going to Victoria. But at that point, why would you want to go to class anyway?

5. There is a computer lab attached to the building.

There is always someone in there, so there is always someone to let you in the building when you inevitably forget your ID. You just need someone to open up the door near the ramp now.


If you are lucky enough to live in Mimosa Hall next year, cherish it. There are always going to be hard times wherever you live, but you will never have the accessibility that you would have living in Mimosa.

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.
