September.

My first month college anniversary! Well, it was a hard and interesting month. The most startling event was my moving to the dorm :)

Some thoughts first. I moved to the dorm and started to live like I dreamed before: no control of parents, no limits (except money), only my own choices and preferences.

But now I realize that the adult life is not having fun all the time. I got acquaintanced with responsibilities. Sometimes it was hard to make myself eat something/do the dishes, or clean my place, so I lost a few kilos and my room was messy (still is, haha… chaos is my lifestyle) Also I learned that selfcare is not only skincare, no! Selfcare is eating every day (healthy food!), sleeping enough, not doing homework at night and choosing warm clothes instead of stylish and cold things, going to the doctor if I feel sick and planning tomorrow day.

So, life would be hard if I was alone. I’m lucky to have two neighbours — Sonya and Olesya. They study British English and we always laugh at each other’s accent, It’s really funny. We drink tea a lot and watch TikTok together, argue about free space, cook together and wake up in the same time even if our schedule is different.

Sometimes I can burst out crying if I see a cockroach, because I’m afraid of them (Olesya too). Then Sonya laugh and become a knight of the dorm and kills the ̶d̶r̶a̶g̶o̶n̶ cockroach. She’s my heroine!

Olesya is doing her homework while Sonya is watching cartoons :)
