Recently, the opportunity for me to move out of my Residence Hall into a house came into fruition, so I decided to take full advantage. After 3 semesters living in a dorm, I'm so excited to say goodbye and I am ready for a change. Here are just a few things I'm excited for now that I will be living off-campus in a house.
1. My own room!
I never realized how much I missed having my own room until I got to college. Now don't get me wrong, my roommate was great, but I value my alone time a great deal and due to being introverted, I struggle to be around people 24/7. Having my own room will allow me to have that much-needed alone time, while also still being social with friends and my roommates.
2. A kitchen!
I am not the best chef, but I do enjoy cooking for myself and going grocery shopping. I like having control over what I eat, and when I have to rely on the dining hall, that gets hard. Now I'll be able to cook and stay healthy, while also enjoying going out sometimes.
3. Not paying for laundry!
I despised doing laundry in my dorm. I would have to go down multiple flights of stairs and wait for the machines to be available, and worst of all, I would have to PAY money to do laundry. Seriously? It's not like I want to do this, I have to have clean clothes & sheets! My house will have laundry machines just feet from my room, and I won't even have to pay!
4. No RA!
Both of my RAs were super nice and helpful over my 3 semesters in dorms, but I hated having mandatory hall meetings and someone to report to.
5. No more resident parking!
I was able to have my car on campus this past semester, but what was horrible was the fact that my car was parked about 10-15 minutes away from where the rest of the residents parked their cars. Now, my car will be parked right outside my house for easy access anytime I need to go somewhere.
6. Not having to register to stay!
Because I am on the dance team at my school, sometimes I have to stay over short breaks or come back early, which meant I would have to register to stay just in case. I also could not get into my dorm over winter break, so if I needed to come back then I would have to get a hotel. Now I can get into my house whenever I need to as long as I have my keys!
In all honesty, dorm life was not horrible, but it definitely was not the best. I am so excited to move into a house and not have to deal with these things anymore. Dorm life, you won't be missed!!
