Dorm Life: Home Sweet Home? M any adjustments have to take place when coming to college as a freshman. The most major adjustment is moving from the comforts of home to the problems and inconveniences of dorm life. Mom is no longer there to do your laundry, clean your room, or make your bed. You always wonder why in the world you brought so much stuff and how in the world you're going to fir itinto a tiny room that's barely big enough for two beds! But somehow you manage to find a place for everything and soon it becomes home. After a few room fines you get into the habit of making your bed, and after ruining an entire load of laundry you finally break down and ask your mom how to do it. College life would be quite dull without the excitement of living in the dorm. The late-night "study" parries, sunbathing in Maddox courtyard in the spring, the crazy Lawlor parties heard all over campus, and deep theological discussions or 2:00 in the morning. Living with seven other unit- mares develops o closeness that builds life-long friendships. These friends are there during the bad rimes and the good times, and during the sad rimes and happy times. Living in the dorm may or first seem like an unbearable situation, burin the end it will turn out to be one of the greatest aspects of college life. '38 Dorm Life
