I personally enjoy spending most of my
time inside of my lively, fully packed, moderately sized dorm room. A regular
student spends time in their dorm only to do homework, watch some television,
play on the internet and have a few friends over. My dorm room is not the
average room. This changed ever since my 4th roommate Mike brought
in a 60 inch TV. Let me explain in further detail why I have a total of 4
people living in this dorm. I live in the I-wing at Fairleigh Dickinson
University which were all originally offices. It is a single floor and houses
about 18 students. Some rooms in the I-wing house two students but in my case
my room, “I9” houses up to four. Now one may think that is a very crowded room
but after entering the main room there is a door that leads to my side which
houses myself and my roommate PJ. As we are small in number we got to know each
other very well and learned to communicate well and make new friends quickly.
Now back to why my dorm is even more unique then the fact that it has two rooms
and has a gigantic television. On the second night of college I and my
roommates threw a 40 person freshman gathering inside our rooms. We had a FIFA
tournament in the main room and a water pong tournament on my side. This spread
the word of I-wing being a party spot for the freshman class and more
specifically the room I9, later becoming the rooms I9 and I12. The spread of
word by mouth caused my room to become very popular and many people still come
around I-wing looking for a good time. I hear rumors of, “I-Wing banging parties,” by
people who I haven’t even met before. This also gave myself, PJ, my other
roommates BMAC and Mike a lot of publicity amongst the freshman class as well.
In reality my day consists of waking up, showering, cleaning my side and their
side of the dorm and going to class. Nothing out of the ordinary but people
love to hype things up which is understandable, the I-Wing community are all
awesome people. Although most of the random people are no longer present as
much in the I-Wing my room still has a lot of attention drawn to it. Which is
understandable…it has a 60 inch TV in the main room! All day and night people
from the I-Wing and friends of those people come in and out of my room to watch
TV shows such as Breaking Bad and Sons of Anarchy and playing FIFA. I’m not
really interested in video games but it is pretty cool to watch on that big
screen. Also my side of the room contains the huge speakers so music is nearly
constantly playing and for a matter of fact it is playing while I am writing
this paper. I learned to deal with the noise and the amount of people in my
room and I enjoy the company as well it reminds me of home and how open my
house is for all my friends to come through. That is why my dorm I9 is my
favorite place at the moment, it reminds me of home and I enjoy all of the
people who come through here.
Thank you for sharing this Josh. At the same time, I need you to start thinking about your problem/solution essay. Have you begun thinking about it?
