Privett House Life With A Roommate

Life is different when sharing your personal space with a stranger, especially when it's your first time living away from the comforts of home. In this article I’m going to share with you what life is like in Privett House and the person I’ve come to call my roommate.

our room is smaller than my own bedroom - but this one I have to share. Studying, sleeping and scolding are all done in this space. Not keeping your room clean and failing inspections results in having extra house jobs. It's already hard when you have a long day of school and just want to throw everything on the floor and relax, but you can’t. Making a lot of noise will get you in hot water, but I just want to have fun. Don't even get me started about having to hand in my cell phone at night. So when you’re living in Privett House with a roommate, you have to work together.

Life in the boarding house is different when you are sharing a house with 50 boys. First of all, living with a roommate is different. You share everything from showers, food, and, of course, your room. Also, it's fun to have a roommate; you experience a lot together.

I find the mornings are pretty hard. You have to wake up early and in the span of 15 minutes get up, have a shower, and be ready for breakfast. But since the days are long at school it's hard getting up out of my bed. I just want to sleep and stay in bed. Just like at home!

But it”s really fun living in Privett with your roommate and friends and a good experience so I hope you got a little information about what life is like with a roommate in Privett House.

Bleed Blue!
