Moving to a bigger city has really made a big impact on my life, but my dorm life has been quite interesting. I think that living in the dorms is cool but I’m not totally sure if I like it. I enjoy having my space and sometimes not talking to people but when living in a dorm that makes it hard. I also really enjoy having the room how I want it but because I have a roommate, it can’t always be like that. My roommate and I don’t always get along and due to that it creates a bad atmosphere in the room. I try to make friends with my roommate but sometimes I feel as if she doesn’t even want me around. This has made living in the dorms hard because my room is supposed to be my safe space and when she is there it feels like a rain cloud over my head.
Even though my roommate situation hasn’t been too good, living in the dorms also brings out some positives. Everyday I get to see my best friends who I have made here on campus. This means a lot to me because when I lived at home I wouldn’t always get to see my friends due to schedule conflicts. Living here has also brought out a side of me that I didn’t know that I had. I have learned how to be way more comfortable with people and I have also learned how to be myself around my friends. I really enjoy living on my own. I know I live with a roommate but now that I am here I don’t have anyone to rely on. I am finally able to live how I want to live and be mature in my own ways. I have my own space to be myself and do the things that I want to do.
