Living in a Dorm Room While most freshman choose to live in a dorm room their first year of college, there can be some negative and positive outcomes when living with someone else. It can be hard to cope with the other person or it can be easy to cope with the other person you are sharing a room with. Sometimes on the other hand, it can easily become dramatically annoying, difficult, and disruptive to others in the room, like I think it did to me. Although I do believe living in a dorm can be much of a transformation from living in a house, every college student, like I did last year, has to experience the part of living in a dorm. Or experience being in a dorm room at one point during their college experience, if he/she chooses to go the college route. Last year, while living in a college dorm at my other college before I became a transfer student, I had to share my room with one other girl that was a thrower in Track and Field, who was all muscle and about a foot taller than me topping off at probably 6’3”. I was terrified of her, if I did something wrong or if I said something wrong in general, she would have probably kicked my butt, literally. So, I decided from the first time I saw her to keep things to myself and mind my own opinion, of course not telling her my point of view on everything she did wrong, because I did not want to get hurt. It all started when she never cleaned up after herself, which made it very easy for me to become annoyed by her and

It is commonly known that crime in Canada has gone down over the last few years, and that this is or has been advertised in just about every online news outlet in Canada. Overall, this is great! However, we still see and hear about many stories based around crime daily in the news, and this is not surprising. What is though, is that the crime reported in the news is typically violent crime, regardless of the fact that crime statistics typically indicate that only about 10 percent of crimes committed in Canada are actually violent. Stats Canada (2014) indicates that there are approximately 340,000 violent crime violations (e.g. homicide, sexual assault, robbery) per year. This may sound like a lot, and it is! But not when you consider that there is approximately 1,00,000 property crime violations (e.g. break and enter; theft over 5,000) and 582,000 other crime violations (e.g. administration of justice violations, impaired driving, drug violations) per year. It is argued that the media disproportionately reports violent crime because is more serious and creates a better news story, which in turn gains more views for the media. Not many people would be intrigued hearing about how many parking violations occurred that day or how many petty thefts occurred. Non-violent crime is unintentionally, and sometimes

Sometimes it can be easier to let others make decisions. People find comfort in letting others decide deadlines or goals. People can find direction in others’ choices for them that they could never have possibly come up for themselves. That having been said, life also requires ownership. A person’s life is full of options and can mean so much more if personal decisions are made within. It certainly is difficult, but the struggle often makes the result all that much sweeter. Such is the case in E.M. Forster’s novel A Room with a View. Throughout the story Lucy is stuck within the rigid, cookie-cutter class system. She finds herself surrounded by people who mindlessly go with expected actions and must walk in step behind all the adults in
As we have seen, the epigraphic sources are not a faithful representation of the whole society of the Roman Era since not all the social groups had the same degree of prominence. Also, the different geographical distribution and the preservation problems add more bias to the epigraphic sample.
A typical college student living in a dormitory often times includes a roommate. Having a roommate is not always a bad thing. In my experience the roommate I had actually became a secondary alarm for me. Dante
4. Roommate conflict is almost the first one that comes as starting life on campus. College students are forced to live with people who may have different values, beliefs, schedules, and habits than they do. There’s nothing worse than having to sleep in the same room as someone you’d normally hate or never talk to.
In October 1929, at the close of the Feminist Movement, Virginia Woolf published her famous writing, A Room of One’s Own. This feministic extended essay, based on a series of lectures Woolf presented at Newnham College and Girton College, channels Woolf’s thoughts and insights about women and fiction through the character of Mary Benton, who serves as the narrator. Through A Room of One’s Own, Woolf addresses three major points: having money and a room of one’s own (creative freedom), gender roles, and the search for truth. These three themes exist in other short stories such as “The Office” by Alice Munro and “I Stand Here Ironing” by Tillie Olsen, where they reveal themselves in varying degrees.
I wasn't too worried about the college roommate situation because I could not wait to move out of my house. Every large family's household is chaotic. Even though my siblings and I are all
College dorms are always a great experience for your first year of college because we get to meet new people. There is just one problem the bathrooms they could be changed. There should be no CO-ED bathroom, install more showers, give each room their own bathroom, or put locks on the shower. This is a problem for me because I am not used to someone I don't know coming in the bathroom while I'm in the shower. I feel uncomfortable knowing that someone else is in there. There should be a change in residence hall bathrooms that make students feel more comfortable and safe while being in the bathroom.
I’m sitting in my room that I have now, taking some time, and imagining what my magical bedroom would be like. My magical, imaginary bedroom would be out of this world, extraordinary. Something many people probably dream about, but know they would not, or could not have. It would be a dream come true if I could actually have a bedroom like this. I also wished my family and I could live in an extremely big house. With many rooms, such as, a big kitchen, a two car garage, 3 bathrooms, and 4 bedrooms, one for guests.
The place where I feel the most comfortable, and show my personality, is my bedroom. This is the place where I can really be myself and do what I want; it’s the place I come home to, and wake up every day. My room makes me feel comfortable because it is my own space. My house is always crazy, with my dog barking, and my siblings running around making noise, my room is the only place in the house where I can come and relax without caring about everything else, the only place that I can go to clear my mind.
My house is quite large. It has three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a kitchen, two living rooms, a dining room, a special games room and a big front and back garden.
