Moving into a dorm once you get to college can be exciting, but you quickly discover that there are some downfalls. Soon you find yourself counting down the days until you can move off campus. There are things like obnoxious neighbors, quiet hours and RAs to deal with so you are ready to just be on your own.

However, there are many things about dorm life that are completely awesome, and I feel like freshman year wouldn't be the same without them. Living steps away from my best friends has given me the opportunity to meet people and make memories that will last a lifetime.

1. If you run out of snacks, someone will share.

2. There's always someone right down the hall in times of need.

3. There's always someone to goof around with.

4. There are other people with you to witness the strange things that you only see in the dorms.

5. There's an open door policy to your best friend's room.

6. There are plenty of options on places to hang out.

7. The people in your hall are basically built in movers.

8, There's always someone who you can share juicy gossip with.

9. You have people to attempt studying with.

10. There's always people to keep you entertained while doing laundry.

11. Next year just won't be the same living more than 20 steps apart.
