... Read moreLiving in dorms during college can be a rollercoaster of emotions, especially in your final year. Like many students, I found that dorm life was a mix of memorable moments and challenging realities. The cramped spaces, shared bathrooms, and sometimes noisy atmosphere can take a toll over time. However, these experiences also teach adaptability and foster unique friendships. One aspect that stood out to me was the feeling captured by the phrase "POV: last year in dorms" — a moment of both nostalgia and eagerness to move forward. In my last year, I was honestly ready to leave the dorms behind, craving more privacy and comfort. But looking back, those days had their own charm despite the frustrations. Dorm life also means navigating a new community, balancing study time with social activities, and learning life skills like time management and conflict resolution. Even when it felt overwhelming, those experiences contributed greatly to my personal growth. For anyone still in dorms or soon to leave, it's important to remember that it's okay to have mixed feelings. While dorms might not always be ideal living spaces, they are stepping stones toward greater independence. Cherishing the good memories and learning from the tough ones can make your college journey richer and more rewarding.

I got my hair dyed… and I hated it
Hey sweeties! I wanted to share my recent story of how I went to get my hair dyed darker. So I knew that I wouldn’t be able to go home for fall break since I would be going to Dublin to visit my boyfriend and my hair would be super overgrown by then. I decided that I could do a little balaya

story time: i hated my wedding vows
my husband and i opted to say the traditional wedding vows at our wedding because we were nervous about getting emotional in front of a crowd (we are both pretty private people). looking back, i wish we had written vows to each other that were more personal and read them during our first look.
