I'm Sad About Moving Out Of The Dorm I Thought I Hated

Freshman year ending is a lot sadder than I thought

I'm Sad About Moving Out Of The Dorm I Thought I Hated
Blakeley Addis

I do not think that I have ever not wanted to do something more, then leave home for college. Like yeah, I was excited, but the thought of growing up, moving, and leaving some people behind terrified me. But here I am, sitting alone in my empty dorm room, and I do not want to leave.

This tiny space I lived in for 9 months, has seen everything. This place feels like home now, and I am almost as sad to leave this place as I was sad to come to this place last summer.

The tiny twin bed has been one of my favorite spots, the shower I can barely move in was the only space I was really able to think, the desk that no matter how many times you cleaned it, it was always dusty, and the space in between our beds was the perfect spot for our nightly dance parties.

I am going to miss this place more than I thought I would and that surprises me, not that I would ever want to live here again. I think it is just a sentimental place because of all the firsts that happened here. More things happened here that help define who I am as a person than the house that I grew up in my entire life. The house I grew up in helped me become who I am today, but the dorm I have lived in has molded me into me.

Personally. I think everyone should have to experience living in a dorm. They really are not as bad as people make them out to be...besides the elevator being broken and running out of hot water(;

So thanks for all of the friends and amazing memories you have given me 602, you were a real one!!

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. 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.
