10 Things I WILL NOT Miss About Living On Campus Next Year

Last week I reflected on what I was going to miss about living in a dorm on campus, this week I thought I should look at the opposite side of that argument - since it is so balanced.

10 things I definitely won't miss about living on campus next year:

1. Random roommates

All my roommates were lovely, I just didn't know them too well.

2. Shared bathroom

Like I said, all my roommates were lovely, but I won't miss them walking in on me in the shower or them taking an eternity in the shower.

3. Lack of resident parking

📷

Nothing annoyed me more than coming back from work and spending 20 minutes trying to find a space in the tiny resident lot outside my dorm.

4. Dining halls

📷

Never did I think that the dining hall horror stories would be so true and so close to me. I've always liked making my own food but I'm thrilled I won't have to deal with the dining hall food any longer!

5. Random noises at night

📷

My building was the oldest on campus, so naturally there were going to be horror stories. I didn't think they would be so true and the noises would be so questionable. When they tear down my building this summer I hope that ghost goes with it!

6. Slamming doors

📷

I didn't realize how angry people could be! I understand that finals can be stressful but we don't need to be slamming doors at 2 am during syllabus week.

7. Bugs

Albeit my dorm is old, however it has always made me feel like there are bugs everywhere.

8. Concrete walls

📷

As much as I covered my walls with tapestries and anything else I could find, there was still something boring about the cold concrete blocks that I lived in for the last year.

9. The price

📷

On campus living is very expensive, so is the meal plan that the school make you get, so are the groceries I have to buy because I don't enjoy the dining halls. It all adds up and I can't wait to make living more affordable next year!

10. Dorm life

It all just felt so temporary. Maybe that's because I knew they were tearing down my building at the end of this semester? Or maybe it's because I was so excited to move out eventually. Either way, dorm life was an experience that I don't think I will miss too much.
