How to Ensure Survival in the College Dorm
Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. This is Shah J. Chaudhry from the College Admission. Congratulations on becoming a member of this famous college. College life is colorful. However, I have to say that it can be hard as well. Problems can arise from almost all parts of your college life. Life in the college dorm in particular, and on the rest of the campus in general, is something which will expose you to a variety of situations and emotions. That’s where you need some advice to help build up your own techniques to deal with the problems. [1] Although there is a certain degree of anxiousness and stress involved, the years spent in the dorm room will eventually become one of the most enjoyable and memorable periods of your life.
Although a certain degree of anxiety is natural, it has been observed that a large number of college-bound students are damn scared of life in the college dorm! Overwhelming seniors and scary rumors and legends related to the "initiation" don’t help things much.
[2] To put it simply: there’s nothing to be scared about. Like all new and unknown things in life, moving into the dorm will bring with it problems, anxieties and frustrations, but everything will turn out just fine in a few days. [3] Look at the bright side of it. You are going to meet new people and some of them will be your good friends. You are going to learn different local cultures through the people sharing the dorm with you. And you are going to improve your communication skills. Believe it or not, but the years spent in the college dorm will eventually be remembered as the most memorable and enjoyable period of your life.
[4] In order to help you adjust well into dorm life, let’s discuss a few simple steps which will ensure your survival and successful adjustment into the college dorm.
Shape up
Everyone in the world has a certain way of doing things. Similarly, every student coming to college has certain tastes, preferences, routines and habits. [5] Now that you are sharing the environment with people other than your family members, you have to evaluate your life style. The fact that your mom tolerated your dirty habits and poor social skills does not mean that the rest of the dorm will too.
Make Friends and Socialize
The best way to quickly adjust yourself into the dorm environment is by making friends. [6] It’s always easier to go through unfamiliar and inconvenient situations if you have a group of friends and colleagues with whom you can relate to.
[7] In fact, it’s widely accepted that the dorm environment (studying, eating, playing, sleeping and living together) gives you the opportunity to make friends closer than any you’ve had before. It’s not uncommon for a person’s "best" friends to be those with whom he or she spent several years with in the college dorm back in the "good old days". To tell you the truth, the people I hang out most frequently now are friends I made at college.
Tolerate and Co-exist
Many people like to compare life in the college dorm with living as part of one big over-sized family. Usually you get along, sometimes you fight, but at the end of the day you all love each other!
Ok, I confess, maybe the above statement isn’t completely true. [8] When you go to college you’ll invariably come across a couple of people (just a couple, never more!) who are just mean, idiotic jerks. When such a situation arises (and trust me it will), you’ll just have to learn to tolerate each other and co-exist without setting fire to each other’ s rooms.
Remember just now I said that you can improve communication skills? Here is the chance. Try your best to communicate with people who are hard to get along with.
Learn to Share
This is probably the most important part of life in the college dorm. You’ll have to live with people whom you initially don’t know and will have to share dorm rooms, bathrooms, dinner tables, telephone lines, TVs, water coolers — everything! [9] Generally, close friends end up sharing everything from books to beds to clothes to shoes. But you’ll also have to lend your personal belongings (a bar of soap, a book, a tube of toothpaste or even some money) to those people in the dorm who are not "close friends" but just "friends". Why? Simply because if you don’t, then there’ll be nobody willing to lend you anything when you are in need.
Have Fun
I lied earlier when I said that learning to share is the most important. THIS is the most important aspect of dorm life. Well, is there any fun? [10] Think of it: no parents, no restrictions, and best of all, a large number of people your age available to you at all times of the day and night. Although you should remember that your primary objective is to study and receive a good education, it’s perfectly fine to have a lot of fun during your college dorm days. Be responsible and be safe, and have the time of your life!
