This is a flash back to my freshmen year in college. It was also my first time away from home. Honestly i was glad to be away and to be living independently by myself...but soon i started getting home sick. During my first year I have had two different roommates each semester. Both of them were completely different people. I tried my level best to survive..ahhh. Just imagine this situation...how would you feel if you were me!!!
10:00 p.m.: You've finished your schoolwork for the evening. You neatly stack your books on your desk, fold and put away clothing, shut off the lights, slip into your neatly made bed, and drift off to sleep.
11:30 p.m.: You're jolted out of your peaceful dream by loud heavy metal and bright lights. Could it be morning already? No such luck. Rather, it seems your party-loving roommate has just arrived home from -- surprise, surprise -- a party (for the sixth night in a row) and is just now starting her homework. You watch in amazement (and frustration) as she simultaneously powers up her computer, dances to the music filling your small room, and discards her clothes and books on the floor. "Hey!" she yells over the music, noticing you for the first time. "What's up?" she asks, seemingly unaware that you were fast asleep.
You flop back onto your bed, put your pillow over your head and groan. "How am I ever going to get through the year?" you wonder.
Yes it was a hectic loong year...nothing compared to what i imagined a dorm life would be.
And guess what i am left off this year too at the dorm without a roommate...i have no idea whom i will be rooming with this year. They will be notifying me by the first week of Aug. I am waiting to find out whom i will be suffering with....i really lost my hope of finding a good roommate (whom i can also count as a good friend)after last year...i don't expect someone who is like me...all i am hoping is to have the endurance to go thru this year...may it not affect my academics...whoever is going to be my next roommate...please i hope u have a HEART.
