Blog 2: ­­­Dorm Junk

             Alright welcome back to blog number 2. In the last blog we talked about making friends with the more important people like your dorm neighbors. Another tip to go along with that is keep your dorm clean. Its best if you and your roommate work out a system to keep things in order. For instance, you could try to come back from class and tidy up at least our side of the room. my roommate and I had like an hour break from classes to when we had practice and we used that to clean up the mess we might have made the night before or the day before because classes kept us from doing it earlier. Its nice to come back to a clean dorm room simply because if you want to do homework on your bed you can do so, or if you want to have some friends over for a study party your room is semi ready for it or any spur of the moment decision. The best part about college and also one of the worst is the part where you really make your own schedule. You have to figure out when you have time to go eat lunch and if you really want to get up for breakfast before that 8 am chemistry lab. My schedule has been pretty nice, I was lucky enough to have all 10 am classes except on Thursdays I have an 8 am lab. I decided to go to breakfast most of the days, unless I stay up to late doing homework. It is crucial for me to get breakfast before my 8 am lab because breakfast helps me wake up and stay awake.

            We got off topic a little bit in this blog. Either way everything that you are reading is helpful in some kind of way. Back to the clean dorm situation. Something that I have found to be really helpful with keeping my dorm organized is using the underneath of my bed for everything. I have a trunk and these little cube organizers that hid away the mess that would just be left all over my floor. I raised my bed the highest it would go to maximize the space I have underneath it. I also recommend getting a trunk that can lock so if you decide to go home for the weekend you can lock up things like your laptop and anything that you want to make sure it stays in your dorm. I also use it to hold my jewelry and text books (when I’m not using them of course). That is all the advice I have for this blog but stay tuned for the next blog for more helpful tips.
