7 Reasons I'm So Glad I Don't Live In The Dorms Anymore

The 'no dogs in the dorm' rule was seriously the worst.

In my opinion, dorms are literally the worst. I’m the kind of person that likes my space and the dorms were definitely not for me. I know that dorms are the best way to meet people in college, but sometimes people can be no fun to live around, especially that many. Limited space can also be the worst.

1. Community bathrooms.

The bathrooms definitely deserve that number one spot. I’m not sure if having a phobia of public bathrooms is a real thing, but if it is, that’s definitely one for me. But dorm bathrooms are so much worse than just any regular public bathroom. It's so weird to me that the place you clean yourself is the dirtiest part of the college experience.

2. No more twin-sized beds.

I had a full-sized bed at home, how am I supposed to adjust to this small ass bed?? I'm such a restless sleeper and I always feared I'd end up on my floor some night by accident.

3. I can control my own AC and it's the best thing ever.

I cannot sleep unless my room is freezing cold at night. Being able to adjust my own AC without having to check with others first is awesome.

4. I don't have to eat at the cafe every night.

I have my own kitchen!! I can cook my own meals!! And make food that I actually like!!

5. Privacy.

Having your own privacy is always a good perk. Coming home to your own room and your own bed is the best feeling.

6. Peace and quiet.

Your upstairs neighbors aren't constantly bringing in a whole zoo at 2 AM. The halls aren't always filled with screaming people or loud music.

7. You can't have dogs in the dorm.

Enough said ^^.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
