I just spent my first night in my dorm! It was nice, but somewhat lonely without my roommate. Thankfully my roommate moved in today, who is also a good friend of mine. I helped her unpack and we “captained” our beds together.
We walked downtown from our dorm, which is about a 15 minute walk, and got some lunch. We went to this really cute bakery and each got these super delicious sandwiches. After we went to this food co-op, which only sells healthy, organic, and local products. We bought some groceries there since we couldn’t find a normal grocery store. The milk we bought is in a glass bottle, so when we’re finished, we return it and get it recycled! What we didn’t know though, is that we had to bag our own groceries and pay for the bags. We put all our groceries in my tote bag and carried it all the way back to our dorm that way.
Walking back was a lot of uphill, and so far we’ve only used stairs. I’m hoping that my roommate and I will have nice booties by the end of the quarter, and the year.
My first night was a good one. I ate oatmeal for breakfast, got dressed, and cleaned up my room a bit. Now it’s a little messy, but I’ll clean it up again by tonight.
I can hear my RA coming down the hall introducing herself to everyone on the floor. My roommate and I are both in our beds (I’m not wearing pants) so we’ll both have to get up in a moment to meet her.

I’m currently laying in my bed in my new dorm room! Moving in today was fine. I didn’t feel stressed, bored, or frustrated. My mom, my sister, my best friend, and my boyfriend all came up with me and helped me move in. We also got pizza and ice cream for lunch, but even with that break, moving in did not take long at all.
My mom “organized” my closet, but I’m very particular on my clothing so I’m going to reorganize it in a bit. It’s currently 10:16 pm, and since I’m not very tired, I’m going to finish putting other things away and decorating. The room is nice and a comfortable size. I like it.
Hopefully I won’t feel weird in the morning or anything. The only thing I have planned for tomorrow is talking to a financial aid adviser. Maybe I’ll try to find some other things to do. We’ll see!

Tomorrow is move in day. I’m moving in a day early because my parents won’t be able to move me in on Sunday. It will be nice, however, to move in a day before my roommate, so I don’t need to worry about us both moving in at once and having our room be a total disaster.
I didn’t start packing until 11 pm Friday. I had all day Friday but I just did everything else. My best friend came over and helped me pack, and we got it all done in an hour or so, which is nice. I’m excited to move in! I’m excited to hang up all my clothes and put my bed together. My best friend and my boyfriend are also coming up to move me in tomorrow, so hopefully I won’t get too stressed.
I hope I remember to take pictures and document my progress on my room tomorrow. I’m excited for the finished product and to see how it will look. Here’s to freshmen year!
