It's one of the biggest decisions you make when you move into your dorm: to loft the bed or to not loft the bed? If you decided to loft, you now realize how simpler life was when you weren't five feet off the ground. Hey, non-loftees, appreciate the floor while you can!
1. You don't know where you'd be without the rollbar
Thanks for not allowing me to body-slam my carpet in the middle of the night. You're a true friend.
2. Your phone is now shattered because everything falls 10x harder when you're up that high.
I should totally sue my screen protector's company for not doing their job.
3. Making the bed is an impossible task
How am I supposed to fold that corner when my body is on top of the rest of the sheet? Is there any logical way to do this?
4. Going up and down is a circus act
Finding your footing and turning your body the right way is such a process, especially when you're not used to a lofted bed. I'm 99% sure I'm going to fall and break an ankle over here, guys.
5. Having to pee as soon as you get comfortable
I spent so much energy getting up here and now I have to go back down? Ugh.
6. Realizing you left something turned on or laying on your desk when you're half-asleep
I can sleep with the lights on, TV on, and my phone unplugged... right?
7. Why is my bed so squeaky?!
Sorry roomie, I'm both trying and failing to not wake you up.
8. Getting up in the morning is torture.
Not only am I warm and comfy, but it takes so much energy to get down from the bed. Is that 8 a.m. lecture really worth it?9. God forbid I have anything with me...
Unless you have a shelf, there's nowhere to put your laptop or schoolwork to where you're not going to kick it off your bed and destroy it. How am I going to take my mid-Netflix naps?
10. Needing an extra-long phone charger
Unless your college allows extension cords in the dorms, more than likely you're going to be shelling out major cash for a 6-foot cord. Or your charger falls in the middle of the night and you wake u1p with a dead battery
11. Waking up in the middle of the night in a puddle of sweat.
Heat rises, so good luck trying to catch any bit of restful sleep!
12. Surprisingly, you have less room.
Yes, you and your roomie were so excited to loft your beds for that extra 2.5 feet of ground space. But sadly, you're so limited in your bed! From bumping into walls, ceilings, and just being in a twin bed in general, is it even worth it?
