6 Reasons To Live On Campus
Tulane University

I started out this post by looking on Pinterest and google for ideas. I was stuck. I was asking friends and family for ideas, but then it came to me. It wasn't a mysterious idea or finding, but it did storm down on me ... literally!


Staring at my computer, thinking, I heard a steady drip ... drip ... drip ... It was raining through my window/ceiling.

You're probably wondering why I would want to live on campus if this is how my life is going, but let me explain.

1. You don't have to deal with landlords when things are broken.

Landlords could take forever to fix things- if at all. Student facility services are much more efficient (and if you say that your parents are coming soon they'll finish it even faster). Plus, they don't come at you asking to pay your rent/utilities every month!

2. You're in the middle of the action.

No matter where the event is, you'll be within walking distance -- which really means waking up later for class while your friends are running from their apartment.

3. You don't have to worry about signing a lease.

Even better, you don't have to plead for people to sublease from you over the summer!


4. You're much more safe on campus than off campus.

You won't be passing any weirdos on your walk back home.

5. Some schools offer incentives to upperclassmen living on campus!

I got $2,200 off my housing for my junior year.

6. All of the furniture is provided.

No need to worry about buying a bed and mattress that you'll only use for two years!

So seriously...

Live on campus!

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"
