To tell the truth, I was terrified to live in a resident hall with no one I knew. I was always the shier one, making me fear the thought of sitting in my room by myself with nothing to do. I feared that I would have a miserable time and become so bored I would return to my hometown every weekend. However, I have found these thoughts to be wrong.
The Anna Smith Resident Hall was built in 1950. It has been home to many girls since then and as of August 20th, 2011, it is my new home. Everyone is adjusting to this change differently. Some leave quite often, while others socialize in the lounge and basement. I find that the basement is the main area to socialize and bring guests. During the week one may find the residents taking a break from their academics to relax, watch a movie, or play pool. There were times back in my home town that I grew bored and couldn't find a thing to do. However, I have yet to grow bored in Anna Smith. Whether it is playing cards, having a movie marathon, or studying, there is always a place and a person to accompany you.
There is no need to fear living in a dorm for people are welcoming and there is almost always a movie playing that you can join or someone sitting in the lounge who will listen when complaining about your classes. For some they may hate the dorm life, but for me, there is hardly a dull moment in Anna Smith.
I am so jealous that you all have a pool table. Anna Smith sounds like a really cool dorm the hang at.
ReplyDeleteWhy do you think you enjoy the social offerings while some of your peers do not?
