Who said student halls were disgusting? They were sooo right! This is the flat I share with 9 other people, 5 boys and 4 other girls. Within one week we managed to break a light fixture and tear open the air vent. Not being there for the air vent incident made for a really strange morning; it’s not every day you enter your kitchen to see a fork stuck in your wall. As for week two… Well, why put pots and pans away when you’re going to use them again right? And of course if you ever need to liven up your kitchen forget paint, just create a lovely display of drying carrots on your dining table :)

We do have cleaners who come every morning to sort out the communal areas and that’s always really awkward. I never thought it was possible, but walking in on the cleaners shaking their heads and dirty looking you over the mess, creates that same feeling you get from hearing your parents are disappointed in you. Luckily, I’m usually at the university when they arrive to clean now. But those mornings I’m not I prefer to lock my door and hide away in bed until they’ve gone.
