Every college student knows the struggles of living in a dorm, but once they switch to off-campus housing it is a whole different story. There are a lot of positives that come from living in an actual home playing house with other people your age, but there are also many struggle to it as well.
1. There is never enough parking for anyone around the house.
2. You now have to deal with bills.
3. You don't need an alarm clock because a few of your housemates already decided to be your wake-up call two hours before you even have to be up.
4. You bought some food at the grocery store, but no one can tell whose is whose in the pantry. It becomes a free for all in there.
5. Oh you want to cook or clean the dishes? So does everyone else in the house at the SAME TIME.
6. The chance you will get some quiet time in the house with almost a full house of college students is slim to none.
7. You seem to never have money in your wallet because you constantly need things for the house.
8. You were going to stay in and study? Well that is not happening because the rest of your house is dragging you to come out.
9. What is yours seems to be everyone else's in the house.
Although there are many struggles to living off campus, you gain a lot in the process as well. You are becoming adult and making memories with your housemates at the same time, so you won't have to go through anything alone all throughout college. Besides, who wants to live in a dorm for the rest of their college experience anyway?
