18 Signs your Freshman Dorm room was Small AF But Also A Rite Of Passage
Abigail Rose Fuller

College comes with lots of change and fond memories and freshman year is an iconic time in the college experience. You know what's also iconic.... LIVING IN AN ACTUAL SHOEBOX. I don't know who is in charge of building dorms but I swear college dorm rooms are toying with the line of insanity. If you had a nice college dorm room please sit down and listen. [cue Law and Order SVU music] *dun* *dun*

1. You look at tiny homes for space saving inspiration

2. You have nicknames for your dorm

Giphy

​The Closet? The Sack? Shoebox?

3. On move in day you tried to keep a positive attitude

Giphy

but you were sorta disappointed.

4. You find creative ways to bring up your small room in conservation

Giphy

5. You have to give yourself a date to stop complaining about it

Giphy

6. The room use to be a closet or a bathroom

Giphy

​or really anything but a dormroom

7. It gets messy SUPER easily

Giphy

8. It is never the room the gang hangs out in

Giphy

9. Your stuff sometimes sprawls out into the hallway

Giphy

10. Whenever you buy something you think, “is it going to fit?"

Giphy

11. Your bed is lofted... whether you like it or not

Giphy

12. You have fallen off your lofted bed

Giphy

13. You sometimes get jail cell vibes

Giphy

​thanks, cinderblocks!

14. Fights sometimes breakout between roommates due to close quarters

Giphy

ILY! HAGS! XOXO!

15. Clothes, chargers, and school supplies seem to jump from side to side

Giphy

​by the end you don’t even know what is yours anymore

16. You still cried when you moved out

Giphy

there is something especially depressing about an empty room

17. You go home and feel like a queen

Giphy

SO MUCH EXTRA SPACE

18. BUT you made so many memories in such a small space

Giphy

​In the end, I wouldn’t have wanted to live anywhere else.

Thanks, University housing!

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
