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.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
