OMG it's spring quarter already! it went by so fast!
so, they kick us out of the dorms on june 14th, but VDC does let us move in until june 20-something.
do i just take all my stuff home and bring it back??
i have a fridge and a lot of other things and i live 7+ hours away....
anyway, a lot of incoming freshmen are wondering about dorms..
~living in dorms is a lot of fun and you get to meet a lot people. BUT PEOPLE FORM CLIQUES QUICK!!! so be sure to get to know everyone during your first few weeks! it gets harder to make friends after that...
~im in a triple and i have 2 random roommates. but we all get along great and we hang out too. it's just important to respect each other and talk to each other!! it's probably not a good idea to bring our boyfriend over and make out in front of them (RUDE!) and over time you start to notice the small things too, like having their music on while you're studying, or talking on their phone really loudly while you're doing homework, slamming the doors, being dirty, their trash that never gets taken out, a small joke they make about you that was totally uncool, them turning on the lights at 7am which wakes you up when you dont have to get up til 10, the way their desk is messy even though it's not really your desk, the way they talk crap about someone in front of you, the way they dont shower for a week straight, the way their stuff takes up most of the room, etc. etc. BUT THANKFULLY all 3 of us respect each other and don't do that to each other, haha. but ive heard of other roommates who totally hate each other. just remember to respect each other and have trust! you're gonna live with each other for the next 9 months! most people are usually in the same situation as you!
~food is pretty good. especially times when you dont wanna cook for yourself and i've heard it's gotten better over the years. i personally like it. i know i'm gonna miss it next year when i move out. it's buffet style and lots of different varieties! (burgers, rice, salad, desserts, soups, popcorn, bagels, cereal, waffles, slushes, all kinds of drinks...and brandywine has SHRIMP TACOS YUMMMM!!!! there's so much to choose from!!)
~washer/dryers SUCK!! remember your quarters! for me, dryers usually take 3 quarters (1 hour) to fully dry your clothes.
~even though middle earth is pretty much ugly, i LOVE it. it's sooo much closer to campus! most people i know who live in middle like it cause it's soooo close, plus better food! trust me, after a quarter or so, you dont really care if it's not as pretty, you just care that it takes you only 5 minutes to walk to that class you have at 8am whereas it would take mesa ppl around 15 minutes, depending on which building they live in and which building the class is in. mesa people like mesa court too cause it's better looking and the rooms are more comfy and have better furniture too in their rooms too. i so jealous. (oh btw, mesa gets regular keys while middle gets card keys). and it doesnt matter where you live, BOTH places are pretty social and nice, just depends on your crowd.
~i would really recommend the dorms! just for experience. it's different for everyone! i had to get 20,000 in loans (no joke) this year! but it's worth it. (kinda)
~honestly, A LOT of people go home during weekends. most people live close enough to do so. which sucks. food tends to not be as good. and it gets boring if you dont have anything to do. but hey, it gets really quiet for those of you are worried about noise! get close to those who live in norcal if you're also a norcal/outta-state student.
~EXERCISE!!! since the food is buffet style, trust me, you're gonna eat a lot! but remember to exercise and not gain that freshmen 15! it's hard not to gain it!
~and there is an overwhelmingly huge amount of asians. but there are still a lot other ethnicities here. i have a lot of friends who aren't asian! and dude, it's not like asians have all the same personality or something!
~and JOIN CLUBS! they spoil freshmen so much. i'm gonna hate being a sophomore.
ok that was too much lol.
. Korean drama watching has really made me crave Korean food. 
i came back today and my apartment owner told me about it...and i needed somewhere to go with a friend so we went to check it out. it is a lot bigger but i do still like Freshia better
