            Every person has one specific place in which they enjoy or even consider their home. It can be a bedroom, bathroom, vacation home or even a friend’s house. This specific place should be somewhere that you always feel welcome, can relax and be happy, and just gather thoughts along with being in a good environment that comforts you. For me, I had to make a big transition to move into a new home in college at FDU. I adapted to my dorm room and know it is my comfort zone and my safe spot that I can consider home.

            Every single morning, I go from my dorm room, to the dining hall and back to the dorm room. The walk from the dining hall to my dorm room is short, maybe a 2-minute walk. I love the walk in the brisk mornings walking back to my warm dorm room. I enjoy the nice short walk up two flights of stairs to my second floor room in Florence Hall. Sometimes I get annoyed when my swipe card takes multiple times to open the door but once I am in, I feel relaxed and composed.

            In my dorm room, I have just about everything I need. Firstly, I have the most important thing possible, my bed. It might be smaller than my bed at my original house but it still is extremely comfortable for me to lie down in. Then, I have my television that is pretty descent size and has a great picture that is as sharp as a steak knife. We have an x-box attached to the televisions so my roommate and I can compete against each other. Then there is my desk. My desk is probably the actual most important thing in my dorm room especially because besides when I sleep, it is where I will be spending most of my time throughout my days. I have to get my books together every morning and then after class, I am sitting at my desk doing homework, writing papers including this one and listening to music. Lastly, I have my closet, which is where I keep all of my nice shirts and cosmetics. I have all of my 12 pairs of shoes and sneakers organized in there as well. My dorm room has everything I need and makes me feel like I am right back at home.

            There is one special place for every person in the world that makes him or her feel right at home. A person’s special place has to be somewhere where they can go to when they are feeling down or need to just clear their head and relax. There is no doubt in my mind that my dorm room at FDU is a special place for me that I know I can always count on to make me feel better and relaxed.
