My Room (Blog for 3/12)

     I think a room definitely describes who a person is.  A person's room says a lot about them because it is where they spend most of their time.  For example, my room is very colorful because I like bright colors like bright blue and green.  I also have a whole bunch of pictures around my room because I like to look at them and remember all the good times I had with my friends.  I have a huge wall unit across one side of my room and it is full of drawers, stuffed animals, trophies, and pictures.  My room is very modern looking especially with my loft bed and couch underneath.  My loft bed is like a bunk bed with no bottom bunk.  At first my parents did not want me to get a loft bed, but I really wanted one so they finally gave me one once I was old enough.  I love having my loft bed because it gives me a lot of floor space and I am able to have a couch under my bed.  I definitely think my room is a reflection of my personality because it is very bright and there is a lot of stuff in it.  It is normally pretty clean because I am usually a very organized person.  
      A room has a great effect on me, but I do not know why.  I am very excited to decorate my dorm room when I go off to college.  I can't wait to set up my closet and desk and hang up all the pictures of my friends.  I think a dorm room is a lot of the experience of college.  Bring an only child sharing a dorm room with someone next year is going to be a very different experience for me, but I am excited about it.  I hope I get a nice roommate who is like me and one that I can get along with.
      Whenever I am home I usually relax and do homework or read in my room because I can get some alone time just for myself.  I am nervous that I am not going to be able to get that alone time next year in college.  I think that sharing a room has to be difficult even if you do get along with the person you are sharing it with.  I hope that whoever my roommate is likes her alone and quiet time too and I hope that she likes bright colors and a lot of decorations like me.  I did an overnight visit at William Paterson University and the two girls I stayed with had the cutest dorm room.   They had pictures and decorations all over the place, they even had it decorated for Christmas.  I hope that my roommate next year is into all of that stuff because I think that a room is a place where you can express yourself and I want to be able to express myself with colors and pictures in my dorm room.
