When I went off to college, I never looked back. lol The freedom was heady! I went to bed when I wanted, got up when I wanted (uhh...within the time constraints of classes), wore what I wanted, ate when and what I wanted, did what I wanted. I went to class barefooted in shorts and halter tops and smoked cigarettes in class (shocking I know...but it was allowed then!). I didn't party that much just because I don't care for most alcohol...ick. But I did a little. I can remember drinking OJ and vodka while whaling away with hammer and chisel on my wood sculpture in the art building.
I really lucked up in the dormatory department. As a freshman, I landed in an upperclassman dorm. Not only that, but I ended up in what I learned was the "President's room"...the room reserved normally for the dorm President. Luckily the previous year's Prez had graduated and her roommate "squatted" the room. So I was placed in there with the "squatter". It was a single room (no suitemates) with a window looking out into a huge oak tree. It had a walk-in closet and private bath with a TUB!! No one else in the dorm had a tub but me. My lack of suitemates, huge closet and tub were a never-ending source of wonderment and envy of everyone who came into my room. Their jaw would drop and eyes would bug out...and then the inevitable question ..."Can I come take a bath in your tub!!!?!" Needless to say I squatted that room for all 4 years...some years with no roommate even!
College is a great time...new people, new friends, new experiences, fun, stress, work, lack of sleep... lol Its great.
Enjoy it! There will be ups and downs but overall, you're gonna have a great time.
And I'm glad you turned that guy in. You need to be rooming with someone you get along with. Yeah, you can have fun but you also have to study hard.
Keep us updated!
