Cramming a bunch of college students together in one living space certainly leads to some interesting and bizarre moments. Boundaries are crossed. Chaos is a daily way of life. Inevitably, you have no choice but to bond with the people that see you in your pajamas every day. And that's what makes living in a dorm a quintessential part of the college experience. Read on for 13 truths about that college dorm life.

1. You can live however you want, and no one will tell you otherwise.

No parents? No problem!

2. This also means you don’t have anyone keeping your lifestyle in check.

It can sometimes get a little out of hand.

3. But actually, doing laundry is such a hassle.

People who leave their stuff in the dryers are the worst. Not to mention those sock gremlins whose sole mission in life is to make sure you'll never wear matching socks again.

4. Communal bathrooms bring people together.

Brushing our teeth together is a special bonding moment.

5. They can also bring out the worst in people.

Some people have really questionable bathroom habits.

6. Speaking of, you get really used to people walking around in towels.

NBD.

7. Or pretty much anything.

Is it Halloween or is it an initiation? Who knows?

8. Living in dorms means you get caught up in weird college traditions.

#flaggate2k16 anyone?

9. And you kind of just accept music blasting at inappropriate hours.

Because asking college kids not to be rowdy is like asking the sun not to rise.

10. It’s entirely too easy to order late-night pizza.

With 3 a.m. delivery, Domino’s becomes your ride-or-die bae.

11. You don’t have to be alone if you don’t want to.

Your friends are probably living down the hall and entirely within reach.

12. But if you want to, that’s totally cool too.

You do still have your own room after all.

13. In the end, you learn to embrace the insanity and just roll with it.

College is certainly a lesson in adaptation.
