Surprise Extreme Makeover: Dorm Edition

They say working out relieves stress (whoever "they" is, I don't know), so I was looking forward to lacrosse practice tonight more than usual. What could a student who just was on Spring Break possibly be stressed about? Maybe the fact that five minutes into my second class (I slept through my first due to lack of sleep), I made an important realization of how much reading, homework, and projects that were soon to be due! Along with academics on my mind for the majority of the day and throughout lacrosse, I'd be lying if I didn't say my social and love life were occupying it as well.


20 minutes before lacrosse practice, the three of us (Sean, Sara, and yours truly) were just hanging out in my room. Suddenly, (both of them obviously ESP'ed each other) they blurted out, "dude, your room needs to be rearranged!" I totally wasn't up for it. First of all, I am terrible at interior design. Secondly....well, there isn't a second point. Hahaha. I told them they could do what they wanted and that I'd leave it unlocked but they had until 10:15 to be finished with their makeover.

Fastforward. Time: 10:15. Lax practice didn't relieve stress. Plus, I'm in a bad mood because I just received a text message that increased the stress. A person never wants to hear "we need to talk". EVER!

Anyway, I suck it up and start walking towards my dorm, up the stairs, down the hall and bam! OH MAN! My ROOM looks AHHMAZING! I still have that stupid, broad smile plastered on my face as I type this and scan my new, creative, ORGANIZED room! What's cool is that I have amazing friends. What's even cooler is, they LOVE doing interior design stuff. Man, I wish I had an eye for crafty home decor.

I'm really, incredibly grateful for them. My room is so much more comfortable and it looks stellar. I have one wall which I absolutely adore because it is so COLORFUL, scattered with a surf poster, rainbow HELLO KITTY, Desperate Housewives, GISELE BUNDCHEN (x2!!!), and Jack Johnson!!! The thing is, I've had all that stuff before, just not spaced out in a creative, classy way. Mega props to my friends. I definitely own them an homecooked Indian dinner ;)

The time now is 11:37 and I really have to go. I just received a phone call from the same person who sent me the doomed text and my friend Sara is also here. It's rude to blog and have company, you know. :) hahaha

I'm in SUCH a good mood because of this room. They really should charge other residents to do this stuff.

Later dater!
