What You'll Miss About Your Dorm Room This Summer

We never think leaving that small room will be hard.

What You'll Miss About Your Dorm Room This Summer
Michelle Hamilton

When you move into your dorm room, you're excited and happy to either be back with your friends or start a new journey freshman year. Throughout the year, we meet new people, do new things and usually end up hating the little jail cell you're stuck in. This only gets worse as the year goes on. By the time spring break comes around, being anywhere but that tiny little room seems ideal.

Although the room is tiny, dusty and restricting, you will usually find yourself becoming a little sad about leaving it at the end of the year. You're clearly not going to miss the dust or the room itself, but more of what comes with the room.

Your best friends are right down the hall.

Let's face it—you're never actually alone or bored in college, theres always someone there to watch Netflix with or do crazy things with at 2 a.m. Now that you're moving out, you realize how bored you're going to be without your friends

You have a lot more freedom.

No one is asking you where you're going, who with, how long or anything else like that. You have the freedom to do your own thing without someone knowing your every move. Although you didn't miss parents nagging you, you really did miss them a lot.

You won't have endless food and snacks that feel free.

One of the best parts of college is that your student ID gets you all types of food and it feels like its free, even though it's definitely not. This makes buying a $5 drink at Starbucks a lot easier, because it doesn't feel like you're even spending money.

You always have something to do.

Whether it's studying or a party, college definitely doesn't give you time to be bored. This feels like a burden when it's schoolwork, but once you move out for the summer, you don't know what to do with all of your spare time.

We all get a little sad when leaving that dorm room behind, due to the memories we made throughout the year and the fact that moving our of the dorm means leaving the college for three whole months. Don't worry though, Fall semester is going to come quicker than you think, and soon you'll be wishing it was summer again!

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.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
