When I first looked at colleges, one of my top criteria was finding a school with decent dorms. Dorm life is difficult enough to adjust to, and finding one that will fit your life into is even harder.
On my first tour of SUNY Brockport, I was shown two different types of dorm living. Corridor, and suite style. Both of them were extremely different and after much consideration, I went with the schools freshly renovated corridor style.
In the corridors, I was spoiled! I had a huge room, with two long beds, big brand new desks and of course all the closet space a girl could dream of. I was also right across the hall from brand new washers and dryers, and the kitchen. It was perfect for me, I was right in the hub of it all living comfortably.
But as freshman year was coming to an end, I knew that I would be having to pack up my luxurious corridor and switch it out for a suite style the coming year. I was super excited about living with all my friends, but I knew that going from my huge room to a smaller space wouldn't be easy. Boy, how right I was.
This past weekend, I had the pleasure of moving into my new room. And as exciting as it was, it really was quite the wake-up call. We were placed in a building where the room weren't quite as big as the ones in our neighboring buildings. So small, that in order for everything to fit, our beds would have to be bunked.
Luckily with the help of my mother, we were able to turn my tiny abode into a comfortable living space for my roommate and me to live in. (And it only required one of the desks to be sacrificed!)
Its definitely not an easy switch going from corridor to suite living, but being so close to my friends makes up for it completely. Heres to a new year!
