While some want to hate on living on campus, there are actually several positive sides to it that I wish I had gotten to experience. From missing out on campus activities to a roommate to share the experience with, living on campus definitely has some perks. Here's what I regret about it:
1.) Getting an e-mail stating that you've been spending too many nights consecutively in the dorms and that you basically can't come back for a while.
2.) Being late for class because you get stuck in standstill traffic even though you made sure to wake up an hour early to ensure that you were on time. Seriously, so frustrating. If I were on campus, I wouldn't have to deal with this!
3.) Missing out on campus activities because you don't see the flyers hung throughout the dorms. I mean, come on, why aren't there flyers in my home?! Right??
4.) Not getting a "roomie" to suffer your way through freshman year with. Though living with someone else can be hectic at times, it would've been nice every once in a while to have someone else to experience the same thing.
5.) I hated having to go home at the end of the day, while knowing that my friends are in the dorms with their other friends having a great time without me. Meanwhile I'm in bed watching their Snapchat stories and eating entire jars of pickles. At least those pickles are my friends and I can watch Snapchat stories. It's the same as being there, right?
It was definitely an experience to think back on and I just wish I had known these things before deciding to live off-campus.
