Eight girls and all their stuff is a lot to have all in one room. When closets are only about a meter wide and a foot and a half deep, and the dresser drawers hold a limited amount of clothing, it is a question of whether or not everything will even fit in the room! Add onto that backpacks, notebooks, textbooks, shoes, mirrors, tissue boxes, and other miscellaneous items. Put it all into one big open space, and it is easy to feel like things are everywhere!
There are eight people who have to keep their stuff neat, eight heads of hair being brushed, eight faces being made up, etc. As you can imagine, there is glitter, dust, and hair in even the tiniest corners and nooks. How long could it take the room to become a mess? Not long at all. It is easy to see when things are out of place (especially looking down with a bird’s eye view from the loft), but I will say that there is an air of organized chaos. It is nearly impossible to keep one’s space pristine, especially when that space needs to hold what seems like a million things and consists of about five square feet and a bed.
However, so far, everyone’s mess has been contained. Whatever I pile up on my desk or bed doesn’t touch any of my roommates’ spaces. Whatever they pile or leave lying around doesn’t infringe upon my space. We keep the boundaries clean even when our stuff isn’t. Probably everyone’s mom has yelled at least once to clean up the bedroom, saying that it looks like a tornado hit. What about when you know where everything is in that tornado though? I’d say it’s neat enough! Luckily this unspoken experience from the past is shared among my roommates, and it is the one rule that has made sure we always leave a walking path! Being respectful of other people’s spaces and always maintaining your own up to a certain point is been key to making sure nobody gets on anyone else’s nerves (or space)!
