10 Reasons Living In A Dorm Is Hell

In This Article:

Colleges always talk about how wonderful the freshman experience is and how fun it is to live in a dorm. They think it is so fun that they make it mandatory for students to live on campus for their first year of college. Though we all know, DORMING is a whole struggle within itself! I'm sure some of you guys have had the same struggles your freshman year of college.

1. You have to go downstairs to do your laundry

2. You have to take the elevator to go to your room

3. You can't cook in your room

4. You have to cry in the bathroom when you just need that cry

5. You can't have late night talks on the phone

6. You have to deal with your roommate waking up early if your schedules don't match

7. You have to ask permission for guests to come over

8. You always have someone watching you being lazy and watching Netflix all day

9. You have to change in the room without privacy

10. Your room won't always be clean because 2 people share a room

Despite the fact that dorming is a struggle, it becomes easier when you have friends that support you and are always there for you. I'm glad I dormed my first year of college because without it I would have never met my roommate. I love my roommate very much, and without her, I would not have been able to do this dorming thing.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
