Livin' It Up



Leaving laundry on the floor
is just the beginning of the
messes to come.

     Ah, college. It’s a wonderful time — some might say the best time of your life. But there are a few aspects to the college life that might not be so fun, such as having to live with people you don’t know. I have had some amazing and some dreadful experiences with the people I can call my suitemates, and I know I am not alone. I feel like many college students have similar situations to mine, such as the one shown on this suitemate's video blog about his own disgusting suitemate. 
     
After sharing a bathroom with the two people in the room next to mine for the past two and a half years of my life at Truman State University, I’ve learned a lot and I’d like to share that with you. So, if you or someone you know ever has to live in a suite-style dorm, hopefully you can make it an enjoyable experience and not something you cringe at when thinking about your college experience 10 years down the road. 
Hair covering the sink is
an everyday problem for me. Is it
for you?
    
I’ll be sharing what I consider a helpful tip to living in close quarters with people, who might not exactly be your friends, every Thursday. Until next week, what kind of issues are you having with your suitemates? Comment and I'll post advice to help you out!

  2. Have you ever had to deal with a suitemate that brings their significant other around too often? I'm interested in how you dealt with that...
