WHAT DORM LIFE IS REALLY LIKE NC STATE UNIVERSITY
The following is an computer-generated summary of the video transcript.
We did it for like an hour off and on between them, squirting water in my ear than suctioning it out with, like, this little, like suction thing I don't now going in with, like, a little pig and like picking at the earwax on the air drop the ear is still ringing, and now there's also water trapped in my ear. Hod, pooped and peed all over the floor, and she drug out all my makeup out of my makeup bag. Recently she's been messing with it, and she drug it all out and chewed up pencils. My roommate pulled hard desk out, and it came with a microwave and a fridge. You guys can check out my dorm towards see all of that. So there are a few things that happened in dorms that don't happen in your normal life. Now, the way far drills work is you have to be down the stairs and out the door in three minutes, no matter what floor you're living on. The thing is, if you don't pass the fire drill out, Say, three o'clock in the afternoon. If you don't pass that one, it's gonna be out and even more inconvenient. So you really want to try to get out of sauce? You can, and it can be really annoying. That's one of the things that you have to deal with living in the dorm. Another interesting thing about dorms is the laundry room. The thing is, you can't leave your clothing there. Another thing with the laundry is they have specific places to put the detergent says some of it goes in the drawer, and some of it goes in the washer, so you just have to, like, read what it says. Another thing about the way the dorm system works in general is checking out for vacations. Your key card is turned off and you're not allowed in the building out. You have to check out, and in order to do that, you have to turn down your air conditioning to a certain amount. Sometimes you have to clean out the fridge and turn it all. There's just like a list of different things you have to do, and you have to schedule it with your R A. For when you want to check out. One thing about living in the dorm in general is there is a lack of privacy. The thing is, just even when you think you're like alone. There are some things that you're just gonna have to to get over like it might normally bother you, but you're gonna let it slide for an out like I know I was very relaxed about a lot of things, like the light in like the air and, you know, like things like that that are just like little things you might have to let go of sort of just let it happen. So another thing about living in a dorm room is you're eating so your food is in the room with you. I feel like that's another thing that you struggle with because you're living in a door. It would be like, obvious that everyone else was out doing other things. Like, definitely try to get involved because it bothers you more when you don't cause you noticed like, Oh, they're out doing this They're all doing this and like that was something that really bothered me. So the main thing you asked me about was the bathrooms at how you learn to deal with that. It's really not because we all have separate schedule, so we're all doing different things. You just have to remember that like she's helping you out a lot. If you're living in a hall style, it is cleaned every other day or something like that, I think because more people are using it, But it's really not that bad. Showering is definitely not like a relaxing, uncomfortable thing to do. Her lamp light was off and they would just like fight over the lights a law, and like fight over little things like that. I've also heard of other people that have just been in, like bad situations where girls end up not liking each other and maybe like threatened or like, say, some mean things that they shouldn't say. So if you end up in a bad situation with your roommate, you can talk it out with your RN. And if that doesn't work, you could definitely apply for a room change. How do you get into a routine and work out and like, be on a schedule now? I didn't work out at all until, like, the last two semesters of my freshman year, and I would work out in the afternoon just because that was never is convenient for me. Everyone has a different schedule, and I would just say it's better to like schedule like I'm going to study out this time, and I'm going to work out at this time, and I'm gonna eat at this time rather than just thinking like Oh, I have six hours left today like on Mondays. I You have, like, 18 a. M. The semester, the same thing on Mondays and Fridays, so we don't want to waste the day away. You want to try to schedule out what you're gonna do and stick to it so that you're actually productive. You'll get into the routine of things that might take a little while. I slept a lot whenever I first got to college, so I just had to adjust everything and really figure out what works best for me. So my friends would like all the people on your hole and just try to get out and involve yourself in other things.
