Did you know that I lived in the dormitory over five years? Honestly it wasn’t a great experience. However, if I think about my life when I was in the dormitory; I didn’t lose anything. My most memorable thanksgiving also took place when I was in dormitory. The reason why I hated dormitory so much was because of the restriction. I was forbidden to keep my laptop, cell phone, and anything related to electronics. I had to sleep before 11 PM when I had to work on my homework and study for test. I also had to tell my dorm RA where I am at every hour.
I honestly suffered so much going to school from the dormitory. I hated restriction and wanted to do everything in my way. I wanted to take a nap after school and eat dinner at 7:00pm, but that was also not allowed. I had to follow a specific routine that the dormitory staff designed. However, because of the fact that I had to everything in routine, I got to do something very special. It was spending my thanksgiving with my friends.
I don’t usually go out on the Thanksgiving Day, but it was different in the dorm life. I was frustrated from the fact that I had to go out on this cold day and waste my time with my friends whom I see every single day in my life. However, it was a great experience for me. I never imagined spending a quality family time with my dorm mates. We all went to down town and watched movie, play bowling, and ate dinner in outback. We also took a dorm photo. I thought the whole idea of going outside in the Thanksgiving was a stupid idea, but it wasn’t. I felt like my dorm mates were my family.
It was really a great experience because I never thought I would have this much fun hanging around with my dorm buddies. They weren’t my friends anymore but a close family who lived in the same place as me. I honestly still think that dorm life was miserable, but the experience that I had in my dorm life was extra extra memorable.
