The Collegiates Guide to Keeping your Dorm Clean.

The Collegiates Guide to Keeping your Dorm Clean.

Living in the dorms definitely has it’s pros and cons – while I love the convenience and prime location on  campus, there are definitely downsides. Between rude neighbors, and having to eat dining hall food – living in an apartment is going to be a luxury. With that said, I will miss my little dorm. The best part about living here was deciding how to decorate and managing to turn this yellow tinged dorm into a place that I am happy to spend time in.

Being in college, I am granted a huge sense of independence. While my parents are always just a phone call away, essentially I am on my own This gives me the opportunity to act like an adult, but still rest easy knowing that I have a safety net.
