                My dorm is this home far away from home. It gives me this amazing feel, like the first time I stepped into my first man cave. As I walk into my dorm I can feel the rush of oddly mixed air hitting my face. I can possibly smell the aroma of the domino's cheesy bread that I ordered the night before and the smell of the girls shampoo and perfume that sometimes clutters the room in a pleasant way. My computer that keeps me updated on everything sits on my desk collecting dust and missing the right arrow key. My printer sits to the right of it, collecting even more dust, because of its white color. The desk has the movie Bruno on it with some cologne as well. It also has an air freshener sitting on it to keep the room smelling like a beautiful garden with butterflies fluttering around. Next to my desk, me and my roommate have our refrigerator and microwave that smells like Gatorade and freshly popped popcorn. The buttery aroma just flies right out of the microwave every time anybody even opens it. Than in the middle of the floor as you walk into our little piece of heaven, we have speakers to bump music. They have a gloomy orange color that fits the room perfectly, giving the image that we love to party. Than on top of our dressers we have a TV and two speakers, with our Xbox One. The posters on our walls consist of Daft Punk to Eminem and we also have some of our favorite entertainment posters on our walls. The colors of the posters range from bright blue, to dark red and there's certain beauty to the different colors of the posters that enjoy immensely every time I walk into my room. My bed is the first thing I look at every time I come into the room. With its green and blue sheets that bring joy to my face every time I see it. I raised my bed, so its high off the ground and every step I take, I need a much needed head start to get on the bed. I get under the fluffy covers and enjoy a must needed rest, while the nice cool air blows on to the sheets. I can hear the people walking right outside our window, hearing peoples different conversations and what their thoughts are on each other or just other people in general. When I wake up in the morning I have my much needed alarm clock that wakes me up every morning. It's this kind of joy, waking up every morning hearing the birds wiz past our door and the crickets at night that make my dorm a place where I can relax. Than in the morning I put on my clothes usually have a bunch of clothing put out to decide what I'm gonna wear. I usually just put on a t-shirt and shorts during the summer. I have 8 pairs of shoes lined up and I wear only two pairs during the summer. During the winter I have my Tim's that take good care in the snow. The permeating aroma in my room, to the TV that lights up my room whenever I come in, my dorm room is one of my favorite places.
