likes and dislikes of dorm life

I have been planning on writing this blog for awhile, I just waited until the end of the semester so I could give you a full list of likes and dislikes of dorm life.As most of you know, I live in a wonderful little dorm on North Campus called Keeneland Hall.



It's quite a nice dorm and in great shape for being over 50 years old. I'm pretty sure the only reason is because it was a girls only dorm for a long time. Since I've lived here for a few months now, I've compiled a list of things that i like/dislike about living here.

Likes:


I LOVE the fact that my dorm isn't like all of the other ones on campus. It's suite style and that means that I don't have to share a bathroom with 20 other girls. If that were the case, I would definitely hate my life. But here, our bathroom is joined to our room and we share it with two other girls.


I'm starting to really love my bed. Even though it is definitely not as comfortable as my amazing bed back home, all the padding that we've put on it is really comfy and I constantly take naps when I should be doing homework. Story of my life!


I absolutely love Brita! This thing has saved my body from horrible water all semester long. We check whats filtered out of our water all the time and its absolutely disgusting what we would be drinking if it wasn't for this amazing invention.


I absolutely LOVE my picture wall. As the semester has gone on, the picture wall has grown and I can only imagine how big it will be at the end of winter break, let alone the end of the school year.

Thats just some of the likes. I really like the dorm in all but I'm not gonna lie its more fun to write about the bad. And there are a few of those...

Dislikes:


One of the things that I hate the most about my dorm is the fact that the wall behind my head is a stairwell. This is my wall...



and the opposite side of it.



I don't know where the kids in my door were raised but obviously it was jungle. They don't consider that at 3 a.m. you shouldn't run and have (what sounds like) a rave in the stairwell. Also, I understand that the elevators are broken and everything but throwing your wheely luggage down the stairs ONE STEP AT A TIME at 7 a.m. will make me want to kill you. I've already yelled outside my door at people to shut the hell up and they never listen. Animals.

Oh my bathroom. This is where most of the dislikes are. This is a sticker on my door leading into my bathroom. It constantly makes me giggle.


I'm not gonna lie... I've locked my roommate and a few other friends in there before... only for a minute... as a joke. Don't tell my RA. :)

It's a nice bathroom don't get me wrong. But our suit mates are weird (see example below)...




Yep. You're seeing that right. My weird suite mates left this thing in the bathroom one day. First of all who in their right mind would make this and second, who would BUY it and third who would EAT THIS! Who thinks I'm gonna buy this sucker with a cricket in it?! Disgusting. Me and my roommate judged this. I invite you to judge too.

Another thing about my suite mates, they're constantly in the bathroom... stinking things up. Not cool guys. Not cool.



So this is the shower part of the bathroom. It looks normal right?



This is my shower with me standing in it. Look at the shower head. Its shorter than my head. Apparently in 1955, a lot of midgets went to UK because to take a shower you have to scrunch down like...



It's insanely uncomfortable and a nightmare to wash your hair.

Obviously our fan is a little bigger than our ledge so we have to constantly re-tape it down so that it doesn't fall in the middle of the night.



Well those were just a few of my likes and dislikes. I hope you enjoyed them and got a few laughs. I'll give you guys another post tomorrow or later tonight about my weekend and the funness that is ahead. I know funness isn't a word but I like it.

love love love,
