New Addition to Witt 3rd!

Big things have happened; I’ve gotten a roommate! Her name is Bailey and she is from Austin. She moved in from a recent dispute with her old roommate. When I was first told I would get a roommate, I was excited about the thought of living with someone, yet I was sad to leave my single-room lifestyle. Even though I miss my old living, I enjoy having a roommate very much. She isn’t here often due to pledging, XBE. Yet the times we are in the room together, are fun. We match up well, considering the circumstances. We both have similar taste in movies, so we constantly have The Office, Law and Order SVU or our movies on the TV. She is very nice about sharing everything, and making room for all my stuff. We are both messy but try to hide it. :)

Since my RM has been absent, I have showed Bailey to all the people on the hall. Everyone likes her very much but still aren’t used to me having a roommate. I think Bailey is finding the hall nice, after her move. Last night was the first time that Bailey, I, and my wall-mate bonded. We stayed up late talking about the usual things girls talk about; guys, movies, gossip and lots of Facebook stalking. I enjoy having a roommate; I now have everything I mentioned last time. Someone to talk to at night, get stressed with, have late night Whataburger runs with, share clothes, and watch movies while doing homework together.

Sounds great! Doesn't it?

Every time I tell people I don’t have a roommate their first reaction is, “lucky!” I always smile and laugh, but really am I that lucky? There are perks to having your own room but it has its downs.

What’s so good about it?
1. You don’t have someone you have to live with, or what others say, put up with.
2. As I wrote in the blog above, you don’t need to keep your room clean.
3. You get both sides of the closet (and for girls this is heaven.)
4. You can move your beds together to make a queen!
5. You can stay up or get up at anytime without bothering anyone. You don’t have to worry about your music being loud or bothersome.
6. Friends can sleep over anytime.
7. Design the whole room how you like; no need to worry about their stuff.
8. You get the whole fridge to yourself.

It’s not all it’s cracked up to be though. You don’t have someone to share with. That relationship of your first roommate. When you first come to college, it’s that the friend you make and the special bond you two create. When you need someone in the middle of the night, or ask for a favor or help you with homework. It is nice to have the room to myself but I would like in a way to have a roommate for those reasons.

When is the right time to do laundry?

Starting this new semester, I was told I was going to get a new roommate. Arriving on campus, the room was empty. The excitement of a new roommate faded to a new enjoyment of living alone. The thought of living alone was a little sad, not being able to stay up late with your roommate or have lunch dates. But then I thought how close I am with my hall. I eat lunch and dinner and go out all the time with girls on my hall. But maybe I should back up a little. I started my first semester with a roommate but unfortunately dropped the second week of school. So living alone I was used too. I guess it’s just that anticipation of meeting and living with a new person. Coming back to campus I was excited to have another girl in the room, but now the excitement has passed and I am glad to have the room to myself again.

The one good thing about not living with someone is that you don’t need to keep the room clean all the time. I like having a clean room, but everyone gets messy. Living alone is like living back at home; you just get those tendencies and find yourself neglecting laundry and leaving move and move clothes on the floor. So my room has stacked up to I think max capacity and on the way to do laundry! Here is a before picture I took!
