To My Dorm

(Residence Hall)

To My Dorm

Just the other day I was on the phone with my mom. I had called her in a rage after a very long and stressful day at work -- she actually answered on the first call... which never happened. After, talking about my day, her day, the cats day etc., she asked what I was doing. I simply replied, "Going home and going to bed." That's just it, I actually called my dorm a home. Though I dread coming back some nights, that is what you truly are, my home.

I have made lifelong friends, and we have blossomed into one very large... yet slightly underwhelming bouquet of flowers. I will forever miss the nights that we would all lay in my bed in a large mass of bodies and put on a cheesy movie (paying no attention to it). The nights where we may or may not have been too tired to sit through the whole thing so we just laughed our way through it. The nights we really clicked though, those are forever etched into my long term memory bank. Trust me that's a hard place to get into seeing as how I forget so much.

My RA, what is there to say about him? He is a very unique individual. I've never met anyone is down to okay "Super Smash Bros" and listen to whatever new rap song is popular at the same time.

My bed, let's not go there. Some things are better left unknown. It's honestly is not as uncomfortable as people make it out to be though.

Since freshman year is coming to an end, I am officially closing the door to one major part of my life. When Friday hits, I will literally be closing the door to my dorm and open the door to an apartment. I am super excited to be living with my best friend, and I couldn't ask for a better underwhelming bouquet. To me, it's all I need.

P.s. DO NOT CALL IT A DORM! YOUR RA WILL BE VERY UPSET. IT IS A RESIDENCE HALL.

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.

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.
