Our dorm

I am at 1720 Rochelle Lane, O’Bannon, second floor, in room 212. I am in the common room that I share with my roommates Sydney Barcelli, Kara Marvel, and Kelsey Harris. When you first enter our common room, you are pretty much looking at a plain wall because we have yet to have a chance to decorate our common room. You also see the two chairs and the couch that came with our room. We did, however, manage to get a Hannah Montana rug on clearance at Wal-mart to add a little fun to our common room. Kara’s fiancé works at a movie theatre, so he was able to bring us a few movie posters. On Kara and Kelsey’s door, to the right, they have a Toy Story 3 poster. On the room I share with Sydney, we have Shrek 3 movie poster on our door. Next to the couch, we recently added the pink lamp that Sydney bought a few weeks ago. We have yet to use it. To the left is our kitchen area, complete with a sink, a microwave, and a mini-fridge. We usually dump all of the random papers and pamphlets we get on top of the microwave, so you can find all of that there. Next, we go into our room.

My and Sydney’s room is to the left as you walk in. To be honest, our room is usually like a zoo; it is always a mess. It always smells awesome though, compliments of my Febreeze air fresheners. Immediately to your left you will see our sink. My favorite color is turquoise, so there is a turquoise soap dispenser, along with a turquoise toothbrush holder and matching towels. Our towels are thrown about the sink, and there is usually some sort of clutter. Sydney’s makeup, Q-tips, bobby-pins, and hair straighteners usually take up a lot of counter space. Directly in front of the door is Sydney’s fridge. To the left of her fridge is our bathroom. It’s very cute, I won’t lie. We have a polka dot shower curtain, and a pink fuzzy rug.
Sydney’s side of the room is right by the bathroom. She has her bed against the wall, and her desk is up against that. She’s got pink sheets and a striped comforter. Her closet is also right next to her bed. And, of course, she has the movie poster for Charlie St. Cloud taped above her bed. She thinks Zac Efron is hot. If you turn to the right, you find my side of the room. I’ve got my desk to the right and my bed pushed up against the left. I brought a cabinet from my house to put in front of my bed to keep my television on. I don’t like when the sun wakes me up early, so I have a turquoise curtain on my window. Like I said, it’s my favorite color. I have turquoise sheets, surprise, and a white comforter with colorful flowers on it. I have a few things hanging on the walls; a painting of two birds that’s all colorful, and a picture frame with a picture of my boyfriend and I. I have a couple cute lamps on my desk, but it mostly just has a ton of random items that get dumped there throughout the school week. Throughout the whole room, you will find mess. Clothes and towels thrown everywhere, shoes scattered about, snacks on the floor, the whole works. We clean up when we feel like it, but we’re pretty content with a messy room.
If I were on the 3rd floor looking down on our room at a sky level, the shape might seem rather strange. Both of the two bedrooms would look like upside-down “L”s, which is usually how they are described to people inquiring about the dorms. Compared to the bedrooms, especially at sky level, our common room would seem extremely plain. Kelsey and Kara have a colorful room just like Sydney and I do; they also have theirs set up the same. If looking at our room from the 3rd floor, there would be no doubt in anyone’s mind that this room belonged to a bunch of girls. Basically, at 1720 Rochelle Lane, O’Bannon, second floor, in room 212, you will experience an intense explosion of colors and randomness in both room décor and, as well, in the personalities of the four girls living there.
