As promised I’ve come with pics of my dorm room this semester (Everyone clap and cheer!) I drew a picture if the dorm setup so you all (at least whoever reads this) can understand what I’m talking about.

This year I am right outside of the girls’ bathroom. The only bad thing is my roommate and I are the only girls on our side. The ironic thing is, I'm at a private college and usually the men and women are seperated. My neighbors are all men. Same for the other side, there is one guy over there and the rest are women. Whoever placed us this year must not have known what they were doing. The logical thing to do would be to place all the girls on the side next to the girls’ bathroom and likewise with the guys. So the RA’s (residence life people) get mad when they see the girls going to the guys bathroom and the men going into the women’s bathroom. People use the bathrooms closest to them anyway which is convenient. No biggie. Hopefully next year they plan better.

Last semester, my roommate and I had 1 noisy neighbor and one that was always gone. That actually worked out okay. This year my roommate and I lucked out, we have TWO noisy neighbors! My neighbor on the right comes in at like 2am and decides that at that moment it would be a ‘good idea’ to throw a party. That has resulted in loss of sleep for my roommate and I. Sometimes he’ll play his loud rap music from 9:00am-4:00am the next morning. The best part is when he and his friends have wrestling matches in their room and they start throwing each other against the walls! Then there’s the neighbor on my left. He brings his noisy girlfriend over and they have sex in the middle of the day when my roommate and I are studying. LOL!! Sometimes he brings all of his guy friends over and they play loud video games until 5am.

Living among your peers presents a lot of awkward situations. Example #1: Running into your classmates after a shower while YOU are wrapped in only a towel. Last week I was coming out of the shower and I had my shower stuff in one hand and the key to my door in the other hand. Lucky for me, this guy from my English class was walking in the hallway and stopped me and asked what our homework was. I was like “oh it’s that research paper” and ran to my room as fast as I could.

Example #2: Running into your classmates after a shower while THEY are wrapped in only a towel. The other day, I ran into this guy from my Psych class in the bathroom. He was wearing a towel and I was so stunned first of all to even see him in the woman’s bathroom. Secondly, seeing him in a towel. So to hide my state of shock I said something stupid. “Hey how’s it goin?”. I don’t remember what he said, but I totally just left.

Example #3: People always see your pajamas. This one isn’t as mortifying as the first two, but it’s weird when people can know what pajamas you wear. That doesn’t stop me though. LOL!

Like I said earlier, I have pics of my dorm room. I’ve got Clay, Jonas Brothers, and Ryan Cabrera posters up. Unfortunately I have more JB/Kevin posters so they weren’t that evenly distributed around my room.

this is what you see when you first walk into the room.

This is what I see when I first wake up in the morning.
