What It’s Like To Be A Non-Partier in College

Most people come to college and the first thing on their to-do list is to go to a college party. Partying is an activity that just about every college student enjoys doing. They can dance, drink, have fun with friends, and all without having their parents worry about a curfew or why they’re high or drunk. But I’m not really a party person. Actually I’m the only one out of all my roommates who don’t go to parties at all. There’s many reasons why I’m not a party person, especially in college: 3. I don’t like to be in a overly crowded place. I use the excuse that I’m claustrophobic a lot. 2. I don’t like to dance much. I’ll pretty much bob my head every now and then, but other than that I’ll stand there trying to figure out what song is playing.

Why I Was Scarred For Life After Walking in On My Roommate Hooking Up

I knew before I even applied to college that I was going to be forced to share a room with someone, and I just had to face the fact that I had to do that.

I didn’t know how my roommates schedule looked on that day therefore I didn’t know whether she was there or not, but I didn’t care because she was going to be most likely watching something on Netflix anyway As I made my way into my dorm suite I noticed

What’s It Like To Have Roommates Who Party 24/7

Being in college, you tend to have a lot of freedom. Especially as a freshman, you try to take advantage of being able to go out pass 10 o’clock at night or go to sleep as late as you want even if you have an early class the next day. But I would’ve never thought I would be roommates with people who would aggressively use this advantage of freedom. My roommates tend to go to every party that’s on campus, whether it’s on a Saturday or Tuesday and since I’m not much of a social person, especially if I just spent most of my day studying for an exam for the next day, I decide not to go. At first I didn’t see this as a big problem, because school was just starting and there were lots of “Back to School” parties and no one was really assigning work or anything, but

5 Struggles of Sharing the Laundry Room with Others

Living on-campus seems like fun, until you actually experience living in a dorm with a lot of people that you may or may not know. Not only do you have to share bathrooms, kitchens, and study space, but you have to share a laundry room. If you hate laundry day on campus you should understand these 5 struggles of sharing the laundry rooms: 5. Not having enough dryers/wash machines. 1 out of 6 wash-machines open. How do you expect for 1,000+ people to wash clothes when there’s only 1 wash-machine left? I know 1,000 people won’t decide to wash on the same day, but 6 machines is not enough.
