I stayed in the dorms for one year, and then I had to get my own apartment
It’s funny that my parents offered to let me stay in an apartment rental during school from the start. They said they weren’t sure if I would like the dorm rooms. I supposed that my parents really didn’t want me getting involved with certain people or getting involved with smoking marijuana and drinking. Well, I wasn’t concerned about any of those things, they were never appealing to me. Even though I had many people offer me beer and marijuana cigarettes, I never accepted any of those things. I was mostly concerned about studying and getting good grades. My parents were paying for my schooling and I didn’t want that money to be wasted. Plus, I knew that I needed to focus on getting a solid career so that I could excel in my life. Well, after the first year, I made enough friends, but I finally decided I would rather live in my own apartment after all. I honestly was sick of all the partying all the time. It was like everybody just wanted to party and not focus on their schooling much at all, and I didn’t want to be a college dropout. So I spoke to my parents and they seemed relieved. My mother was saying how she knew that I would be bothered by all those troublesome kids trying to throw parties all the time. I guess that’s just the way things go in college for many people. Well, I was happy with my apartment when I first got it. My father just reminded me to make sure to change the air filters for the HVAC system regularly. He said if I didn’t change the air filters, the air quality would become bad and it would be difficult for me to focus on my studies.
