My First Year in a College Dorm

So, here's my biggest complaint blog so far, but it's one many college freshmen can relate to. My poor friends have been hearing me talk about this for the last year, now all of you get to hear about it.

My roommates.

Now this is nothing against them personally, and it's nothing saying anything bad about them. It's actually kind of funny, and I have come to see it as a joke.

So we'll call these roommates Roomate A and Roomate B.

Now my roommates were nice, funny, and fun to be around, but the one thing that i didn't like about living with them was... well you can see for yourself:

Let's start with the closet:

This was a regular look for our closet;; On my side (right) everything was put away or at least set aside 99% of the time. As for my roommates' side, as you can see, their things are usually laying around everywhere. Especially Roomate B, whose pile of dirty laundry lived at the end of the closet. Sometimes she'd put it in a bag, but usually it was piled so that I couldn't even open my dresser drawers.

Moving on to the bathroom! This was probably the messiest room in our dorm, but with three girls, that's not much of a surprise right? Well, this was messier than the average girls' bathroom. Both Roommates A and B liked to leave their clothes in the bathroom after they showered, which is perfectly fine with me. That's a regular habit that many people do, but leaving in there for 3 or 4 days at time and letting them pile up? That's just being lazy. Of course, looking at their side of the closet, and Roommate A's shoe collection downstairs, it shouldn't come as much of a surprise. Just a note: No one wants to see your underwear and bra laying there for a week!
Another thing that Roomate B liked to do is leave the cups she uses for water every night on the bathroom sink. These three cups in particular were here for 5 days before she finally decided to move them.

The last, and by far most disgusting, thing Roomate B did in the bathroom was leave her hair all over the shower wall. It might be hard to see in the picture, but every time I went in there after her, it looked like cousin IT died in our shower! It's not that hard to wipe your hair off the shower wall when you're done, And on another note, I'm pretty sure she had sex in that shower with her boyfriend... while I was sitting right downstairs, ughh!! Really?! Of course, this is also the girl who went out and spent $2oo on a Coach wallet, and went out to eat all the time, then couldn't even afford $4o for our electric bill...

Going down the stairs... which were completely covered in cat hair. Clumps of hair could be found ALL over the stairs, there were times when the carpeting was white. Both my roommates had cats, and one of them especially liked to shed (that one can be seen in the picture). And guess who the one person was who always had to clean the hair off these stairs? Me! The only one who didn't have a cat. My roommates actually moved out a few weeks ago, and I'm still trying to clean all the hair off cause they never bothered to clean up after their own cats. (Which just made me remember, Roomate B's cat's litter box, always smelled absolutely DISGUSTING, but she would never clean it even though I and people who came to visit always told her how nasty it smelled.)

Down to the kitchen: Here we see a gigantic pile of dishes in the sink. This was nothing out of the ordinary. And guess what? Not one of the dishes in this sink is mine, what you see of mine is that mug and spoon sitting nice and clean in the dish drainer. This picture was taken on a Thursday morning. All those dishes were sitting in there since Sunday night... EW! How could you possibly live like that?! And the worst part is, when Roomate B washed them, they were still dirty! I was thrilled when she washed them, so I decided to put them away to make room for her to clean the rest. As I was putting them away i found there was still syrup on the plates and goop on all the silverware, so I put them back in the sink to be rewashed again. i found out through one of her coworkers that she also did this at work, and her boss always got mad about having to rewash the dishes all the time. I hope her boyfriend knows how to do dishes... There were also times when they'd go home for the weekend and leave a pile like this of THEIR dishes in the sink for me to wash, and unlike them, I hate having dirty dishes sit around, so I had to clean them.

Also in our kitchen, you see these two tuna cans. My roommates thought it'd be cute to give them to Roomate A's kitty so she can lick the tuna out of them, and she did. The part that wasn't very cute? These cans sat here for almost a week before I finally ended up picking them up, because obviously neither of my roommates were going to do it. They don't pick up clothes, cups, or shoes, so why would they pick up two cans?

Sure, I had my moments where I was messy, maybe if I had a lot of work to do, and didn't have time to clean, but i kept my mess confined to my own little corner by my desk and bed, not every room in the dorm, every day of the year! as I said, my roommates were nice and fun, and I actually find this more funny than mean, and I'm not insulting them at all, I mean I could have gotten stuck with someone much, much worse, but just a message to all of you who are going to college next year and getting new roommates:

I hope you get cleaner people than me.

Dear Lysol: WTF?

I just had to put this out there.

You do realize that your new No-Touch Soap Dispenser is completely pointless right?

Here's the process of washing your hands:

1.) Soak them a bit.
2.) Touch that germy soap dispenser to put soap onto your hands.

3.) Scrub and lather those germs in with the germs that were already on your hands in the first place.

4.) Rinse hands for at least 2o seconds to wash off ALL those germs that were on your hands, including those from the soap dispenser.

5.) Dry off hands and admire how clean they are.

So, there is no need for a No-Touch soap dispenser.

Now stop making people waste their money, and go invent something more useful and necessary.

Long Time, No Write...

Yes, I know, I haven't written anything in over a month...

Things have been pretty hectic lately, Since my last post on Valentine's Day:

I've had midterms, tests, and quizzes.

I made a trip to North Carolina to surprise my family before my sister left for the Navy.

I had Spring Break, which ended up sucking, because...

I lost two good people in my life. My grandmother, and a friend from high school I was very close to. And now my grandpa isn't feeling well.

I got a new job. It's funny... The economy is soo bad, but McDonald's can still afford to hire 1o new people, causing all of my and everyone else's hours to get cut. So, that place is done (is there any other McDonald's employees out there who have this same problem?) I am now at Dairy Queen, making smoothies and ice cream, where I can get pretty much all the hours i need/want.

I partook in a pet first aid seminar for my college that ended up being very successful and gave our school a news appearance!

I've gotten cow snot blown all over me. I know, this doesn't really fit into the "hectic" week, but it actually gave me a good laugh through all the stress =)

There's a couple more things that I can't even think of right now, but point is, sorry for not really keeping this updated very well. I had some plans for entries that I never got to, such as promoting Earth Hour 2o1o! which I hope everyone participated in!

And I have some other things coming up to that may prevent me from writing, like:

Easter Break, I finally get to see all my family again.

Working at the new job.

A lot more school work.

A trip to Penn State to see my best friend!

And studying, which I should be doing right now. But I procrastinate at life, so at the moment, I thought it was more important to update this since I already studied for 2 hours.

But I do have things planned. You can look forward to entries such as:

A whole line of summer-related graphics(exclusive to just this site), and fun things you can do over the summer.

My top favorite YouTubers.

A quite interesting one about dorm life i just started on.

Any fun experiences I have until the end of the school year, at my new job, or on my road trip to Penn State =)

And lots more!

And since I do tend to promote things, I'm in a contest on BrickFish.com, and it's all about submitting your favorite YouTube video. And it would be soo sweet if you guys voted on my entry. I didn't make the video, but it's absolutely amazing! And I think it deserves way more attention.
So every click on the "VOTE" box! =) And even share it with everyone you know!

Happy February 14th!

Chocolate and roses and dinner for two♥

This day makes me sick.

And noo, I'm not some girl complaining about being single, who just sat around depressed all day because I don't have a date for Valentine's Day.

I'm a happily taken girl who's been in a relationship for over 2 years who sat around all day because my boyfriend and I don't celebrate Valentine's Day. I was only bored and alone because unfortunately it seems like everyone else does make a huge deal out of this ridiculous day.

I found this picture on CardboardLove.com and I must say, I absolutely love it!

Why do I love it so much? Because it's so true. Today is just another day, and I love my boyfriend just as much today as I do every other day of the year and he knows that, and vice versa. Who says we have to take this randomly chosen day of the year to show we love each other? I'd rather save the dinner and roses for a much more personally important day, such as our anniversary.

I don't know how Valentine's Day came to be, especially since all research claims that it's "shrouded in mystery" and all the stories are just "legends", but in my mind, I just think of some guy who was afraid to ask a girl out, so he made up this day all about love so he could go up to his crush and be all like, "Hey the day of love is coming up, and I don't think you want to be alone?" And the St. Valentine just came into the picture because of his role in history of bringing loved ones together, and the day needed a name. And he just happened to ask this girl out on February 14th. Yeah... that's how it happened in my mind.
That seems completely stupid, but I don't care, because this money-making holiday is pretty stupid in my mind, and the mind of many others. Because really, you should show your significant other love every day, and any day is a good day to ask out that person you have a crush on.

I feel so bad for single people on Valentine's Day because they always feel like shit, and they really shouldn't. Because it's just another day! Ignore all those couples that make a huge deal out of it and have fun like you would on any other day!

To the girls: Cook dinner for your boyfriend on any random night.

To the guys: Buy roses for your girlfriend on any random day.

To the single people: Ask out your crush without using a holiday as an excuse.

Don't use this lame holiday as an excuse to bring out the love.

I love you Matt, today and every other day of the year ♥

As you know, I complain a lot....

So, to prove that I do have an optimistic outlook on life, I've decided to make a list of things I love. I'll probably be adding on to this every so often.

So enjoy my 35 Loves. This is just to prove I don't complain about EVERYTHING, just some things. These are up for grabs if anyone can relate and would wanna use them. Just remember where they came from ;)
