If you've already seen my Cribs video, you may notice I'm not the best on camera and kind of breezed right over a lot of my suite...in fact, I think my video is the shortest of all of them! Oops. Hopefully this blog with its pictures will help make up for my inability to be in front of a camera.
When you first walk into the suite, you immediately see our table. More often than not, it's covered in books and study stuff. Sometimes we'll use it for eating or hanging out, but it makes for a great place to do work when the desks in our room get to be boring.
If you were to look straight in front of you from the doorway, you'd see our living room. Pardon the mess, this picture was taken right before spring break and one of my suitemates was packing her suitecase in the living room. We have a little tv that we use to watch the occasional movie on, but other than that, this is mostly a quiet, laid back hang-out spot. I love our big window--on warmer days, it's SO nice to open up and have the fresh air. Speaking of which, it looks like our glass cleaner wasn't streak-free. Whoops.
Next in the tour of our common areas is the kitchen. We have a nice open area but unfortunately not a whole lot of counter space. Granted, we don't cook much other than pasta, but whatever. It's still nice to have the kitchen and big fridge and stuff.
Now we'll move on to my room!
If you're standing right in the doorway, this is the view you've got. It seems a bit crammed together, mostly because my bed is lofted, which makes the space feel tighter. It's really not bad and I like having my bed lofted because it makes room for storage underneath.
Here's my desk and bookshelf. I bought the bookshelf for extra storage because...well, I have a
lot of books. It helps make use of small spaces that would otherwise go to waste, too. My desk is a little messy right now, though this is one of the cleaner times, believe it or not. Again, I'll blame it on getting ready for spring break. To be honest, my desk serves more as a holding place for various things than as workspot. I like to work on my bed, unless I get frazzled or just tired of it, then I clean up my desk and start working there.
Anyway, I hope this helps give a closer look at some of the more personalized areas of my suite. In case you haven't yet seen it or (for some reason) want to see it again, check out my Cribs video below.
As always, feel free to ask any questions about housing, my room, my building, or anything else!
