To My Dorm

(Residence Hall)

To My Dorm

Just the other day I was on the phone with my mom. I had called her in a rage after a very long and stressful day at work -- she actually answered on the first call... which never happened. After, talking about my day, her day, the cats day etc., she asked what I was doing. I simply replied, "Going home and going to bed." That's just it, I actually called my dorm a home. Though I dread coming back some nights, that is what you truly are, my home.

I have made lifelong friends, and we have blossomed into one very large... yet slightly underwhelming bouquet of flowers. I will forever miss the nights that we would all lay in my bed in a large mass of bodies and put on a cheesy movie (paying no attention to it). The nights where we may or may not have been too tired to sit through the whole thing so we just laughed our way through it. The nights we really clicked though, those are forever etched into my long term memory bank. Trust me that's a hard place to get into seeing as how I forget so much.

My RA, what is there to say about him? He is a very unique individual. I've never met anyone is down to okay "Super Smash Bros" and listen to whatever new rap song is popular at the same time.

My bed, let's not go there. Some things are better left unknown. It's honestly is not as uncomfortable as people make it out to be though.

Since freshman year is coming to an end, I am officially closing the door to one major part of my life. When Friday hits, I will literally be closing the door to my dorm and open the door to an apartment. I am super excited to be living with my best friend, and I couldn't ask for a better underwhelming bouquet. To me, it's all I need.

P.s. DO NOT CALL IT A DORM! YOUR RA WILL BE VERY UPSET. IT IS A RESIDENCE HALL.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
