At the end of breaks I always dread the return of people to campus, it's the noise, I treasure the silence and peace that accompanies the departure of the general population. It would be lovely to have a house or apartment next year, so I wouldn't have to worry about the people in the next room (she has extremely loud friends, they talk loudly without even realizing it). There's something about being 'on my own', which is a rather silly thing to say because my parents pay for all this, if I was actually on my own I'd be working a job many hours a week, and probably working to get good grades as well, but being 'on my own' in this limited sense agrees with me. The most important thing that I look forward to in my life after college is a house/apartment without noise pollution, without people constantly farting loudly out of their mouths for the world to hear. Most people can deal with it alright, I can't get used to the human hum of a dorm, I can't block out voices, if someone is talking then I can't tune them out. It might be okay if I lived next to someone who was constantly saying wise things that I would feel smarter listening to, or if they had a low and soothing voice like the announcers on public radio.
