Dorm room

Michelle:

We recently rearranged our room! For most of the year we had our beds bunked. I personally, have never been a fan of bunk beds. I unfortunately, got the top bunk. Yay? I mean I got used to it after a while but it had its disadvantages…

My room is more of a medium sized room so we didn’t see how we could debunk our beds and still have room for our desk, closet, and dresser. With our beds bunked we had a lot of free space. Unfortunately, my roommate and I are very different, I mean she is messier and I am neat. With so much space I would find her clothes all over the place and it would irritate me. Also, since she had the bottom bed, she had all the extra space under the bed to store things. She bought boxes and put food, shoes, and other trinkets inside. Now that I have that space too, I realize how useful it is because it gives you so much more room for storage. Why hadn’t I realized this before? Who knows.

My preference is to have a neat room. She would have sleepovers in my room every weekend so I learned to stay in my friend’s rooms. Whenever I’d come into my room at some point during weekend it would be so messy. I found it hard to step on GROUND. It was crazy and it really bugged me!

Finally we switched our room around and debunked! YAY! I was so happy and it turned out great. We got some friends to help us. It was five of us moving around everything. At the beginning it looked hopeless and a huge mess had been made! It was my nightmare. After cleaning up and putting everything in order it looked FABULOUS! Our room before had been sort of joined. We were always in each others space and crossing paths. In our new arrangement, our room was more separated by sides. I had mine, she had hers and it was GREAT.

When my friends walked in they said “wow Michelle, you really are clean.” You could see the drastic difference of sides, one messy and one neat. My friends now come to my room more often. They have a bed to sit on and they don’t have to be in a messy area anymore!
