6 Reasons I Love Living In A Dorm At SVSU
Saginaw Valley State University

Not everyone chooses to live in a dorm, but its a choice that many students at Saginaw Valley make. There's a reason we're ranked number one in housing in the state of Michigan. Living in dorms here is nothing like all the horror stories you hear about dorms at other colleges, here you feel welcome and like you have a home.

1. You feel at home

The dorms aren't brick wall or put into the basements of buildings. When you live here you truly feel like you have a place you can call home. The buildings are new and always clean, you can almost always smell food cooking at any time of day.

2. You have a kitchen in your dorm

If you're hungry you don't have to bundle up and walk a mile to the foc, you can cook in the comfort of your room. This is truly a luxury few get to enjoy, and I appreciate it every time I make Ramen at 3 in the morning.

3. People on your floor become family

Some of the best friends I have made live just a few doors down from me. If I need a pan or want to rant to my best friend I just have to throw on some slippers and walk down the hall. Having friends this close makes it easy for the friendship to develop greatly.

4. We're ranked number 1 for a reason

You don't get ranked first in the state very easily. The buildings are all fairly new, you have a kitchen with everything a college student could need in it. They supply you with so much that you wont have to bring in as much as you thought on move-in day.

5. The RA's are the bomb

The RA's are more than just an upper-classmen living in the same building as them- they're your friends. If you ever have a question or need someone to talk to, someone is always available for you. They don't judge you because they just want what is best for you.

6. You're just a short walk from everything

Whether you live in MJ Brandimore house or First Year Suites right in the center of campus, or Southwest on the other side of a road you are always just a short walk from everything. Classes aren't far, C store is just a short little stroll. This is very nice once the cold weather hits.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
