I’ve been living with my parents and with friends off and on since I graduated high school; get this I’m moving into a dorm! Woot! Woot! Party time! No really, I will study and do very well with like minded peeps about campus we can study together and get our work done then party later! Problem is I have lots of stuff and I’m moving into a smaller space and there won’t be much privacy and I need my privacy. The benefit is I will be on school campus, taking school more seriously and having more freedom from my parents.
There are so many things to think about moving into a dorm. Not only do I have to pack the right things. I have to think about not having privacy and staying on track while thinking of who I will room with. What if I’m stuck with someone who is filthy, never showers, or with someone I get along with great and they become a distraction. I’m distracted very easily so this is one more thing to worry about!
I wonder how my parents will deal with this once I move into a dorm. Sure, they handle it well when I move a few blocks away to a friend’s house, but this is much different. I’m moving into a dorm with different people they don’t know and I’m much further away. My parents are control freaks; I wonder how they will feel not knowing everything I’m doing. I would guess they will pop up unexpectedly from time to time and call me off the hook just to feel as though they are in control. I’m excited but there is no telling how my parents will react once I’m moved out and in a dorm.
What were your worries in moving into a dorm for the first time and how the heck did your parents handle it? Please share by commenting below. I need HELP!
