I rented a house in town with a couple of my pals. For the first week or so, I proudly walked around like someone who completely had their life together: a phrase that here means someone who can cook 50% of their meals without burning them.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yes, things were looking good.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That is, of course, until things were not looking good.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After the Involvement Fair on one of the first weekends of school, I watched as everyone around me gathered in their groups of friends, with their hall mates, and their bro\/sis to watch the movie campus activities was showing. And poor, poor me didn\u2019t have anyone to sit with. The majority of my friends had graduated this past spring, and I didn\u2019t realize how hard it would be to make new friends when I wasn\u2019t even living on campus.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I then walked home. In the dark. All alone. *insert crying emoji*<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fast forward through a stressful few days, which ultimately ended with me moving back on campus, and we arrive at three reasons why you should live on campus: community, community, community.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">(Okay that\u2019s actually just one reason, but I\u2019ll break it down into three parts)<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><b>External Community<\/b><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-405 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.cedarville.edu\/studentlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/IMG_6935.jpg?resize=269%2C186&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"269\" height=\"186\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.cedarville.edu\/studentlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/IMG_6935.jpg?resize=700%2C484&amp;ssl=1 700w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.cedarville.edu\/studentlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/IMG_6935.jpg?resize=250%2C173&amp;ssl=1 250w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.cedarville.edu\/studentlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/IMG_6935.jpg?resize=768%2C531&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.cedarville.edu\/studentlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/IMG_6935.jpg?resize=120%2C83&amp;ssl=1 120w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.cedarville.edu\/studentlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/IMG_6935.jpg?w=1800&amp;ssl=1 1800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.cedarville.edu\/studentlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/IMG_6935.jpg?w=2700&amp;ssl=1 2700w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 269px) 100vw, 269px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is the aspect of community that happens the most in dorm life. This is bro\/sis brunch on Saturday, spontaneous trips to Valley Thrift with your hall, or late night runs to Mom and Dad\u2019s for ice cream with your roommate.
