The other day I rearranged my side of the dorm room. It’s a little embarrassing, but I find there’s something satisfying about changing the room up a bit. It’s like a secret desire to be an interior designer or something.
Of course, moving furniture around doesn’t make me an interior decorator by any means, but I still think it is somewhat interesting. It’s almost like an art, except instead of nice little paint brushes to work with you get big, ugly pieces of furniture given you by the housing department.
Starting the whole process requires the part us college guys try to avoid altogether Ñ cleaning the room. Those massive piles of books and useless papers have to be removed from the desk, lest you disturb their balance while moving and cause them to fall, killing you instantly. Clothes have to actually go in the hamper. And, you even might want to sweep up, considering you actually walk barefoot on the floor.
After doing all of those tasks for the first time ever, it comes down to the fun part. Finding a configuration that works in such a freaking small room. You can’t get rid of furniture, so everything needs some place to go. It’s sorta like a puzzle without a correct solution.You just have to try to force the pieces together and pretend it works.
However, there are good ways to force the pieces together. This new layout has several advantages to the old one: more room around the TV… and, well, what else is important really? Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to go watch some interior design shows.
