Student’s favorite place is dormitory
By Miyuki Mitsubiki
Everybody has a favorite place, and my favorite one is the living room in my dormitory.
I have three roommates; one of them is Japanese, like me, and two of them are American. It is pretty international, so I sometimes experience “culture shock,” and I feel it’s interesting.
Though our room is not sophisticated, fashionable or beautiful, I like spending time with my friends and roommates here.
When I spend time in the living room alone, I can relax very much. The clock ticks loudly because the room is very quiet.
I read a book on the couch with a cup of coffee. I feel comfortable. Sometimes I take a nap there.
However, it is completely different when I am with my roommates. The room is very noisy because of the television and our talking.
On the carpet or the couch, we talk a lot and enjoy spending time together. I can learn something every day through talking.
Besides, the room is very exciting when some friends gather. We keep talking and laughing. Though we don’t do special things, I enjoy that time.
To conclude, this room has some different aspects each time, and I like both being alone and spending the time with my roommates and friends. One room gives me precious time and experience.
That’s why this living room is my favorite place.
