The Do’s and Do Not’s of Living in A Freshmen Dorm
Do…
Wear shower shoes
trust me, the showers are repulsive
Flush the toilet
come on, this one should be self explanatory
Your laundry
the longer you wait, the more you’ll hate yourself
Lock your door if you have someone “special” over
believe me, no one wants to see that, so save yourself some embarrassment and lock it
Buy enough snacks for all your friends
if you don’t, they’ll be gone in a day
Use a reusable water bottle
Embrace yourself and walk around in a towel
no one cares, we’ve all been there
Be careful of what you say or do
the walls are paper thin and we all know everything
Make friends with as many people on your floor as possible
friendly faces make bad days go by quicker and there’s nothing like an endless supply of clothes to borrow
Don’t…..
Dump out your noodles in the shower
there is nothing appealing about stepping into a hot shower covered in last night’s leftovers
Leave your hair everywhere
I get it, it happens but just pick it up
Flush your tampons down the toilet
Wait until the last minute to do your dishes
Leave leftovers in your fridge
your room is small and I promise you, it will smell
