Well, its been almost a month now since i moved in hear at the University of Minnesota Morris, and I am a freshman.
It's been fun so far, but one of the things that really bothered me the first week i moved here, and still kinda does is my floor.
Most people have pretty tight floors where they go to supper together, hang out in their floor lounge a lot together and have fun with each other a lot.
My floor on the otherhand, is gay. in the 5 rooms on my side of the wing, me and my roomate are the only freshman. The floor R.A. lives next to us, she's a sophmore girl, seems pretty nice. Then the other room by us is occuppied by someone who works there, who is 24 years old, and has multiple signs on his door stating he's a homosexual, also a shut-in.
The other 2 rooms are single rooms as well, with upper classmen who are really shy and shut in.
On the other end of the hall, there are 3 other freshmen rooms that are doubles, where 3 of them seem kinda nerdy and annoying, and the other 3 are never around. and then there are 2 sophmore girls and sophmore guy who are never around.
basically i feel like i got shafted. I'm kinda getting used to my floor at least. my roomate seems easy to get along with but we dont really have much in common. There are a few other decent ppl on my floor when they are around.
However, the floor above us is pretty cool. I was up there one time and they were really open and nice, and i played cards with them. lately they asked why i havent been up there recently, which made me feel good that they still remembered me, and they invited us to come up there whenever, since they are in their lounge all the time.
I didn't really find out the floor above us was nice until recently, before that i was set on the decision to move out,
if I did stay tho, i still wouldnt be actually living on their floor (something else to keep in mind)
Unfortunately there are no openings on floors in the current hall im at, but there are several openings in a different hall. I've been mainly interested in one particular floor that i heard about from my R.A. who heard from their R.A. that they have a really cool floor and get along real well. I walked over there, and found out that the opening is with a freshman who usually isnt around because he's with his girlfriend a lot. I heard he was pretty cool and laid back though from the people on the floor.
i havent met him yet, so i dont know for sure, but it sounds like he might be an okay roomate.
im going to walk over there tomorrow and talk to him.
Anyways, i've been really split about this decision and i need to decide soon since its almost a month in, and people are kinda forming their friends and what not.
It's been on my mind making it really hard for me to do homework and what not, and i havent really been having fun up here yet since i dont feel settled at all. havent talked to as many ppl lately, but wanna get rollin on that again soon.
so what do you guys think about all of this?
i basically breaks down to two things. which is better:
1. staying where im at now, where im kinda used to it, can go up a floor to talk to ppl if they are in their lounge, but still have a real crappy floor. oh yea, but a good roomate
or
2. moving to a new floor new hall, with a supposedly really cool group of kids that get along well, although id have to get settled over there all over again, and have to make myself known to a group of ppl that have known each other for a month. Also dont know if the roomate will be as good as my last.
its a tough call, im neck to neck with both.
what do you guys think?
