hasta la vista, baby!

Finally, after 6 semesters (including two summer sessions), I am finally getting ready to move OUT of the residence halls and into an apartment! Despite some trepidation I have about living in an apartment (I have to cook MY OWN FOOD? And wash my own dishes?!), ultimately, I have concluded that apartment life will be much cooler, more exciting, and just overall more awesome than living in the dorms. Here are the top 15 reasons why I can’t wait to say adieu to dorm life FOREVER!

1.
No more flip flops in the shower.

2. No more weekly emails from a coordinator about how to serve the community.

3. Nobody will be swiping into the building to see if the doors still work—yes, auxiliary police, they still work.

4. The bathroom will never be “Closed For Cleaning” at the most inconvenient times possible.

5. No more screaming kids at 10:00 when I’m trying to study—or SLEEP.

6. So long, fire drills!

7. I won’t have to wait in line for food—and I can eat whenever I want, whatever I want (to the extent of my culinary expertise, of course…good thing I love pasta and grilled cheese.)

8. I can prop the door open for as long as I want without an alarm going off that alerts all of State College that I violated some dorm rule.

9. No more roommate agreement and check-out forms

10. My mail will come to the same building I’m living in.

11. I won’t be able to succumb to the daily temptations of Creamery ice cream and warm, melty chocolate-chip cookies in the dining halls that continually sabotage my ever-existent diet.

12. I can keep my door unlocked when I leave my bedroom to eat.

13. I can sing in the shower (without any strangers hearing, anyway…)

14. I don’t have to use ugly bed risers and bendable desk lamps that look like they belong in “Back to the Future.”

15. I will know everyone who will be sitting on our toilet—and know that they're all clean.
