4 "Perks" Every Resident Of A Freshmen Dorm Is Accustomed To

YouTube

Being a college freshman is definitely, well, unique. Living in the freshman dorms can only be described as an adventure of a lifetime. I moved in in August, it is currently February, and my cutie freshman dorm surprises me more and more every day. Here are some fun things that have happened recently.

1. Blackouts

I know what you're thinking because I am a college student but no. A few weeks ago I was sitting in my room doing homework and all of the lights in my building went out! For a few minutes, my friends and I sat in the darkness screaming.

2. Cockroaches

There is nothing better than getting texts from someone warning you that while they were in the shower they felt an itch on their foot and it was a cockroach crawling across them. I have had friends who blocked their doors with towels just in case the cockroaches that have been crawling around their halls got into their rooms.

3. Termites

Friends of mine have opened one of their wooden draws to get clothes out and been greeted with dust instead. The culprit? Termites! #LoveThoseDorms

4. Hot Water

Obviously, dorms have hot water, right? Wrong. I am special and lucky enough to live in a dorm that loses hot water for days on end. I love it! My friends and I are constantly seen walking from the opposite tower in our building with our shower caddies since it always has hot water. #Ugh

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.

College is a great place to meet people, especially through Greek life. If you look closely at sororities, you'll quickly see there are many different types of girls you will meet.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

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.
