Dorming!

       My favorite experience by far is my dorm. This was truly such a smart idea. I once imagined an experience of sharing a room with a total stranger ridiculous. If you think about it, you are probably living in the smallest room of your life. When I was little I even had my own room. So my original thoughts were hesitant and I kept trying to figure out a way to commute. Though, what I've learned over the past few weeks is the complete opposite.
      First off, my roommate is great! We actually share a lot in common, including our humor. We don't see each other all the time, but when we do we always have something to talk about. We have actually become pretty good friends.
     I love hanging out in our lobby, which we call ,"the living room." This is where I do all of my studying. I hang out here pretty much any time I'm in my dorm. We are always watching a movie, playing pool or ping pong, or just talking and hanging out with the RA's.
     Lastly, I really found getting involved with the hall council here was the best idea I've had so far. The group is so friendly, and conveniently enough we were all pretty much friends anyways. We have retreats coming up, and a lot of planning to do throughout the year. I've been told that this is great prep for being an RA. I am really interested in doing that next year, so I'm glad I;m getting the experience.
     Now I'm really happy I listened to my brother, Cody, and lived on campus. Now I know that there is a freshmen experience you can not miss!
