Beauty and The Bra

So whether you live with one person or five, there are unspoken rules that all roommates should follow. Here are the ones I think is the most important. Tell your roommates when you're sick. No one wants to get sick, let alone because your roommate never told you they were contagious. If you know you are sick you are obligated to tell your roommates. You don't have to make a big deal about it just send a text and maybe put a bottle of sanitizing wipes  where everyone can use it. I do not want to get sick because you aren't kind enough to give me a heads up, especially around exam time.                                          Clean up after yourself. Your apartment should not be an embarrassment to you and your roommates. If you share a space it should be relatively clean five out of seven days a week. Of course there are times that can be overlooked-such as a ...

Apartment Life So… I have moved into an apartment! It’s not the largest, but I love it. From a previous post you can read about all of the crazy nerves I had about coming here, but you guys honestly there was no need. So my four bed room two bath came with the basics, washer-dryer combo, a refrigerator/ freezer, dish washer, as well as a coffee table, 4 bar stools, a couch and an arm chair. When I came the walls seemed a terrifying shade of white and the rooms where drab. Slowly we are getting the apartment to a place that we like. We hung a tapestry where a TV is meant to be, we hung pictures, fabric, signs and of course a ton of candles. This place is beginning to feel more and more like home so with subtle changes we are covering those annoying white walls and making it a fun inviting place for my friends and me.    So this is the island, we wrapped it with fairy lights and it brightened up the apartment a lot. ...

So next year I'm living in a four bedroom two bath apartment.In the middle of my first semester of college me and three of my good friends went and signed the lease. After an event that will go unmentioned myself and one of my future roommates had a talk the lead to us straining our relationship, so much so that I do not know if we are even friends or not. She lives is an out of state student and ECU does not have the major she wants anymore. Due to this it is possible that during the second semester of the upcoming year that she will be moving out and transferring to another college. One of my other roommates is my best friend Jillian. I have other posts about her and she is amazing. I was unaware when we signed this lease that Jillian had reapplied to a college in which she was unable to attend. This college is in Canada.Recently she found out that she got in and is taking this amazing opportunity.I am very happy for her.She is a hard worker and truly wants this. I am left in an...

Disclaimer: I do not condone or recommend underage drinking, it is illegal and can lead to more problems then it is worth.  When in college you will deal with hangovers, whether they are your own or that of your friends, you begin to get tips on how to cure them, or make them easier.  Tip 1: Drink all of the water. Drink the water while you are drinking, drink it after, drink water before bed, drink it in the morning, water is your friend do not let it go.  Tip 2:  Eat something. Nothing harsh like Mac and Cheese or Ramen Noodles, but saltines just get something in there to soak up the alcohol. One of my friends suggests french fries, especially the morning after drinking.  Tip 3: Shower. You will be surprised how much better you will feel afterwards, you may not even need to follow the rest of the steps. Tip 4: If you have to puke, do it, it will sober you up a little and you may even be hangover free afterwards.   Tip 5:  Bru...
