College: the years of your life when you're going to meet many new people, try new things, and learn a lot. Having a dorming experience in college definitely has its perks, but there are times when even in your dorm, you find yourself slipping into a commuter lifestyle. You know you're a commuter at heart when:

1. People commonly forget, or don't know that you're dorming.

And so when they find out you dorm, they either go "Oh, right, I forgot," or "Wait, really?"

"Since when?"

"Where?"

You get the gist.

2) You actually miss home a lot.

Even though college has so many amazing things to offer, you kind of wish you could be back at home eating that home-cooked meal and chilling with the people you love. And so on the days you get a chance to go back, you take it faster than someone can count 1-2-3.

3. Even though you have a meal plan and are spending a lot of money for your dorm just to live there, you still spend so much money on outside food places.

Why does Taco Bell have to be so addicting?

4. You are surrounded by many commuter friends who tell you how lucky you are to have a dorm and don't realize that you low-key envy their ability to go back and forth everyday.

5. Even though you have your own dorm, you love the times when you get to crash other peoples' dorms or homes

because there's something more exciting about that then staying in your own dorm room.

6. You're barely in your dorm in the day.

Whether you're in class, or running around with friends, or off campus, you somehow end up in some adventure that is not located in your room.

7. You still have not grown completely accustomed to dorm bathrooms

... and can't help but wish you had your own bathroom just like the good ol' days. (It's not too bad though, trust me).

8. You wish you could have a dorm, live at home, and have a car on campus all at the same time.

And even though all three of those together aren't possible, or the most convenient, you feel lucky. Because you get to experience so many different things and have people you care about/ care about you no matter where you go.
