"A Place That I Spend Time"

 

The place where I spend most of my time would be my dorm. Everything I need is there, whether it is a computer, books, TV, or other people, it’s there.  As you first walk in you would get hit with a wave of cologne that is sprayed by me and my roommate right before we leave for the day, it is a mixture of old spice and Armani spray. Second, your eyes would fall on the TV that is most of the time is playing Sportscenter or SpongeBob. With the TV you would find a PlayStation 4 with a stack of games next to it. The neighbors across the hall are probably going to come over later wanting to play Madden 14 and we will run out of chairs so they will sit on my roommate’s bed. The beds are usually pretty tidy and washed very often. The desks are a different story. Paper, notebooks, pens, pencils, textbooks, folders, drinks all litter the desks. The room is always a little too cold so everybody is either complaining or wearing a sweater. Temperature will always stay at 65 degrees no matter what though. It is an unwritten rule. Both lights are always on, only turned off if someone is sleeping. When I'm doing my homework in there, music is always playing through my phone speaker. Lately is been Schoolboy Qs new album Oxymoron. But when my roommate comes in it is switched to Mac Miller. He would rather listen to some indie music though. A basketball is sometimes dribbled around my room, and I'm sure that makes the people who live under me annoyed but I don't really care. My RA and I are neighbors so it never can get too out of hand in my dorm or else he would start complaining.  He hasn't said anything yet so I'll keep the volume as is. Each closet has a lot of clothes in it hanging up. My side is mostly just flannels while the other side is dress shirts and ties. My roommate likes to dress nice. My roommate is like never there so I can do what I want really. He usually doesn't even sleep in the room, he goes to his girlfriends. I like that very much because his alarms always went off to early and for too long before he shut them off. My hallway has a room though that is always blasting music so you can faintly hear it if you listen hard enough.  Laundry is done pretty regularly so the room has a fresher smell. The shades have been down ever since the first day because I overlook the Twombly Lounge patio and people stare into my room and its weird when we make eye contact. Also it helps to keep the lights of because it makes sleeping in less comfortable when the light is shining on your face.
