Place

In my opinion, there is a place where everyone regards as their safe haven. My safe haven here at Prague is my dorm. As lame as it sounds, my dorm is someplace I’d regard as a comfortable and happy place. When I first arrived at my dorm, I actually thought it looked too bare and empty. The halls looked like an old hospital hallway—it was creepy. But when I entered my room, it was a drastic change. The rooms are massive. The ceilings have to be at least 11 feet tall with wooden floors and tall windows. The kitchen is my favorite park of the room. We have an island and a nice refrigerator with an ice dispenser! It was all too shocking because I imagined my dorm in Prague to look a bit shabby. However, NYU did their job and chose a decent place for their students. The neighborhood itself isn’t very ideal, but supposedly this area is “up and coming.” My dorm not only housed me and my roommates, but it also was a place where I was able to study and watch movies on the fourth floor. It is a dorm, yet it had so many additions. Such as the piano rooms, the music room with the drum and guitars, and countless study rooms. This dorm supposedly houses music majors during the fall semester. I’m glad that I chose this dorm because I feel that compared to the other dorms, I have more privacy. I like cooking from time to time because it helps me unwind and having our own kitchen definitely helps.

If I wasn't living in a single, I'd be freaking out too.
