A lot has happened since then. The dorm room looks a bit different. I’ve done 10+ loads of laundry, visited Bryant University & used my meal plans more. I had 7 unused meal plans out of 14 this past week instead of 11. My classes have been amazing!! I really really like them. Colleges of the Fenway Block Party this weekend, I hope to meet a lot of people there.
Things that I have learned since last week…
Don’t shop in the beginning of the week RIGHT after your parents give you more money.
Laundry is expensive. Don’t use a dryer. It’ll cut your laundry prices in half. Yeah it’s a pain in the butt to dry your laundry in your room but you will save a lot of money.
Communicate with your roommate everyday. No matter how you do it, just do it.
Dorm phones have voice mail set up already you don’t ned a voice mail program on the actual physical phone. Dial 2345 from the dorm phone, then put in your ext. when they ask for your voice box, then 59 and your extension again for your password. and presto, voicemail.
It’s easy to use fenway cash/points REALLY quickly, so set limits.
3M hooks are KEY to survival
Get a T-Card
RA’s are real people, drop by their room & talk to them. They’re interesting.
Meals at Bartol are NOT bad. They’re free. That’s all that matters.
Weather can be VERY spontaneous. Find out the weather before you leave for your classes.
I’ll post pictures from this past week next week with next weeks pictures. I have lots of reading to do!
