The Adventures of Moving

There's no reason of getting stressed over things you can't control

The Adventures of Moving

I had the definition of worst weeks! School started, which is a challenge within itself, plus had to move to three different dorms, which is good because the dorms have gotten better each time. On the contrary, it's exhausting as you can imagine. The school made a mistake (like I stated in my other article), and I was supposed to have a roommate, but when I got there my alleged roommate said: "No we aren't roommates". On top of that, the room that they gave me was filthy, so I was like... "no I can't stay in this room".

The next day, the Dorm Director (who turns out to be a pretty cool guy; way better than the one last year...no shade intended), told me we'll move you into a different dorm, and you and the guy you wanted can be roommates. I agreed to it, but the other guy didn't want to move in for whatever reason, so I had a room to myself. Then I found out that the school planned on closing the dorm I had just moved into! I thought the smart move would be to go ahead and move before they "officially" made me move.

That following day, the dorm director told me about yet another new room (which I have currently), that is a single (so that means I don't have a roommate), but I do have suite mates.I like this living condition better because I don't have to go down the hall just to use the bathroom or take a shower. To add a little more to the list, I'm trying to play baseball this year and stay involved in campus activities as much as I can.

It's pretty safe to say that this has not been a pleasant week, but next week should be better and should just grow from there. I'm excited for this school year. I'm excited for what it's going to bring, and all the adventures it will take me on. Yes, it's been a bumpy start at this point, but in the words of Tupac Shakur "You Gotta Keep Ya Head Up".

Since I like to stay positive and give advice to people in need, I have to stay positive for myself, because if I didn't, there's no telling what would fall apart. I guess I've always been like this, even when I was younger. In the words of a wise man, there's no reason of getting stressed over things you can't control.

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.

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.
