Living in a dormitory is hard. Not only because we are not with our family but also because we are out of our comfort zone. No one is going to cook for us, or wash our clothes or arrange our room. These are things other people do for us, like our mothers or sisters. In a dormitory or if we have a place of our own, we become independent and do things we never thought we are able to do. The positive side is that life in a dormitory is never boring or monotonous. Every day we get to interact with other people from different places with various set of values and characters. Sometimes it can cause migraine, but most of the time it is fun.
The one thing I do not really like in staying away from home is that some broken things are not immediately fixed or replaced. Like when had a busted bulb, we had to wait for months before its replacement. And now, our sink is broken, there is no water running and the sink itself is clogged. We suggested to the management that they should not buy substandard materials or equipments. Maybe we could buy one Kohler kitchen faucet and clean our sink more often. We do not have anyone to clean the sink for us so we must do everything ourselves. But maybe I should not have waited to be living alone before I could learn to fend off for myself because the adjustment period was so traumatic. One advice to teenagers: be more responsible and always listen to your parents.
