After the immense social media stalking and stressful roommate selection process, you're finally able to move into your home away from home. Below are 20 occurrences you'll be sure to experience living on campus at your college.
1. Totally loving (or hating) your RA
Are these floor meetings really necessary?
2. Constantly sharing clothes with your roommate
And if you're lucky, you're the same shoe size.
3. Becoming far too familiar with your neighbor's taste in music and... well... other things, too
4. You've had at least one awkward/gross experience involving a communal bathroom
Do people really not give a courtesy flush?
5. ...and have forgotten what real water pressure feels like
Shaving your legs is a serious safety hazard.
6. The Messy Roommate
7. The walk of shame past security after a night out
And the intense struggle to appear sober.
8. ...or seeing other people go out on a night you're staying in
I swear I'm not always this antisocial...
9. Getting "creative" with outfits because you're too lazy to do laundry
10. The uncertainty of campus Wi-Fi
11. If you go to school in a city, there's always available entertainment right outside your dorm window!
Your neighbors have probably also seen you naked on several occasions.
12. Hiding contraband before room inspections
13. The excruciating experience of a fire alarm going off
Whether it be from a drill or your neighbor's feeble attempt to make popcorn.
14. You've seen your roommates naked more times than their significant other
15. Choosing between waiting 20 minutes for an elevator or having to hide your heavy breathing after taking the stairs
How am I this winded???
16. Becoming emotionally invested in your roommate's love life
17. Eating Kraft Mac & Cheese five or more times per week
Because the dining hall would require you to put on pants.
18. You're never quite sure what will end up on your white board
Such "interesting" diagrams...
19. Having to adapt to all of your roommate's weird habits
20. You've experienced wall art falling on you at even the most unsuspecting of times
Eventually, you just accept defeat.
But through it all, you've learned to love your home away from home.
