Moving to college is a HUGE transition for some. Roommates, community bathrooms, being around people 24/7. These are the absolute worst things about living in a dorm.
1. Community bathrooms.
I really hate waking up in the morning after a night of little sleep and going to take a shower and seeing something, I'm not quite certain what is. Is it hair? Did you bring your cat into the shower or something? Did you shave your legs in the shower? Did you shave your head in the shower? How does that much hair fall off of a guy?! AL we are not third graders. FLUSH THE TOILET.
2. The Dining Hall
All I want after a long day of classes is to come home to a nice home-cooked meal - but wait we don't live at home. No, we got to go the dining hall. To be 100% honest, I miss high school cafeteria food. Sometimes everything looks so disgusting I just eat the cereal cause I can't even think about keeping some of the options down.
3. The Elevator
Okay, I live on the 3rd floor of my building so it's not that big of a deal anyways but there is NOTHING worse than when you come home after a long day and want to take the elevator - cause you've reached your stair quota for the day - and you hit the button to your floor and the person behind hits 11. AND THEY GIVE YOU THIS LOOK LIKE "REALLY. THE THIRD FLOOR. REALLY". AND THEY MAKE YOU FEEL GUILTY. It's a real struggle.
4. Having people around 24/7
I really hate coming home and wanting to sleep and having the person in the room over or even two rooms over wailing away on their guitar. Or when someone decides to do their homework at 1 am but can't seem to get it right so they scream and yell.
5. Politics
Especially since it's an election year, college freshmen are really political. The worst part about it is that nobody is open minded about literally anything that the opposite side is saying. I mean I guess that's just how politics are in general, but we all live together, can't you at least hear what I have to say? Or writing "FDT" on all the white boards around and "Killary" on all the bathroom stalls.
6. The dramatic ones
Usually, I am the dramatic one that complains about everything. But every floor has the one person, that gets annoyed about everything and feels the need to tell every person to fix it. This person will send a message to our GroupMe message and complain about how someone forgot their shampoo in the shower and how it's the third time that week and we need to keep track of our things. Like, I DIDN'T REALIZE MY MOM LIVED ON THIS FLOOR.
7. Laundry
Laundry is the worst. When you go down to the basement to find that one person has used five out of the seven washers and there are 4 other people in front of you waiting to do laundry. At that point, I don't even know if doing laundry is even worth it. You have to time it perfectly to get a machine.
