What have I learned? Living with your family and living with other college students are completely different situations.
1. Doing the dishes is surprisingly therapeutic.
When living with my parents, it was such a chore. Now, I really don't mind it! Heck, it's relaxing most of the time.
2. If my roommates aren't motivated to do homework, then neither am I.
GiphyMy ability to do homework and focus on it has decreased entirely.
3. Living off campus makes you highly unmotivated to go to campus.
Whether it's by driving or going on the bus, getting to campus takes a lot of energy that I don't seem to have anymore.
4. Sickness spreads.
One roommate starts coughing, and suddenly we all have the flu.
5. I'm not sure how my mother made dinner every night.
I'm finding it near impossible.
6. You can always tell when I've been in a room.
I'm a mess. My roommates are always picking up after me, whoops.
7. I leave the lights on in every single room.
And it's not magical. It's probably kind of annoying, sorry!
8. I don't mind sharing everything.
Unless it's my personal half gallon of ice cream- then you may have to ask. Truthfully, anything that's mine is also my roommates. Borrow as you please!
9. I don't care about name-brand food.
Beggars cannot be choosers. All food is good food.
10. I have become reliant on water bottles.
I've actually never been a big water bottle person before, but College Station Water is gross, and they're actually pretty handy.
11. Every day is a new adventure, and I'm here for it.
I truly don't know what each day will hold, and I love it! Are we going to go grocery shopping at midnight? Will we paint canvases instead of doing homework? Did someone have a bad day and do we need to get our nails done? The possibilities are endless.
