Keeping Things Interesting

Here at Trinity, we take for granted how nice it is to have the experience of college. Getting out and socializing and just doing whatever with friends will relieve the stress of schoolwork and any of the other numerous things that bother us. Spending time in the dorm when not out and about can be boring. I have a few random suggestions which I have done and found to be very helpful in keeping things interesting while stuck in the room.

Rearrange

Cleaning the room and rearranging furniture/beds is always an option.  If you are like me and have found yourself without enough space in your room, try moving the beds around! Get some room, add some furniture. Make it homey.

Decorate

Get some posters, add some lights, whatever. Bring something that changes the dorm room from a room to your room. Those little touches will make you feel more comfortable and give the room a much more enjoyable atmosphere.

Socialize!

If bored, walk into your suitemates room and bother them. Trust me, worst case scenario you guys will be bored together. Staying too long in the room working or just trying to relax can actually be harmful to both your mood and attitude. Call up a buddy or, like I said, hang out with your suitemates and actually befriend them. You will have a much better time living here and will have people there for you.
