10 Reasons Living In A Dorm Is Hell

Colleges always talk about how wonderful the freshman experience is and how fun it is to live in a dorm. They think it is so fun that they make it mandatory for students to live on campus for their first year of college. Though we all know, DORMING is a whole struggle within itself! I'm sure some of you guys have had the same struggles your freshman year of college.

1. You have to go downstairs to do your laundry

2. You have to take the elevator to go to your room

3. You can't cook in your room

4. You have to cry in the bathroom when you just need that cry

5. You can't have late night talks on the phone

6. You have to deal with your roommate waking up early if your schedules don't match

7. You have to ask permission for guests to come over

8. You always have someone watching you being lazy and watching Netflix all day

9. You have to change in the room without privacy

10. Your room won't always be clean because 2 people share a room

Despite the fact that dorming is a struggle, it becomes easier when you have friends that support you and are always there for you. I'm glad I dormed my first year of college because without it I would have never met my roommate. I love my roommate very much, and without her, I would not have been able to do this dorming thing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.
