Dorm living

I had been in the dorm life for about 3 years now and it has become a way of life for me.  But eventually, these days are going to be numbered and it is time for me to change my living situation.  But there has been some fun times, and there has been some horrible times in the dorm.   Overall, I don't think it was a really fun experience and I had yet had found someone that  I would of fit in with.

You have to deal with what's there.  There has been a lot of jocks in the dorms and you also have a lot of these special ed type students.  They can be both annoying.  I am one of the students that are getting an A.A degree and then I am eventually going to be going into something in St. Scholastica.  I think some of my experiences of dorm life might influence my possible future path in life.  I have some experience with some of the students with the disabilities, and that might be a good job for me helping some of these students.  I am getting treated, but I can relate to some of the more higher functioning students and with the mess they have to put up with.  I think everyone has stories about their crappy dorm life, but I have a number.  I had my shit stolen and a lot  of stuff.

The last 2 years had been tough and it looks like things are starting to come under control.  Last year was a year of thinking and planning, trying to figure out what to do next and things are starting to come under their place.   The first year was simply a continuation of high school but it was sort of a grand finale, and the 2nd year was the hangover, and trying to reconsider my values, etc.  I was getting exposed to the world last year and now this year, I am pretty exposed to the world and everything is starting to tie together.  Once everything starts to tie together, I am going to be screwed on enough to go on to the next stage.

There has been a lot of crises  and this college was a crises. But things are starting to change and this dorm life is influencing.  I needed a year to think about my problems and find out what I should do.  That is why I had been doing a lot of thinking, but the year after that, it looks like it is less thinking and more doing. Taking courses in the sociologies and the psychologies  really influenced my view of the world, and then eventually maybe a few courses in the diversities might help influence it as well, especially the environment.  That is what the liberal arts are about.  But you also have to have the experience of the dorm life to shape you as well.

I am not sure if they are going to be the old people stories that I am telling, but they might be some memories.  But this dorm life has a lot of learning about the world around me and I deserved to rewarded with the good life when I am done.
