Rough Draft

When you first come to college it is a very exciting experience that sticks with you for a lifetime. Staying on campus is also one of those exciting experiences. There are a few positive things and there are also a few negative things. Being away from home for either the first time or for a long period of time is what also seems to be the reason for that excitement. But that excitement sometimes decreases when college students actual realize how they are going to have to live for the past couple of months here on campus. The unhealthy eating habits, causing you to gain the freshman fifteen, staying up extra late causes your body to get use to unhealthy sleeping habits, and showering in unclean community showers, are all things that describe a college life. The college community showers are very disgusting, filthy and an unclean place to bath.
When I first came to USM, I was very excited because it was my first time being home for a long period of time. Although, that excitement soon decreased when I was told my new bathing place is a community shower with about thirty different girls. It was very unusual for the first time, but soon it became something I became immune to but not use to. The showers seem to become even dirtier and disgusting as each day went by. I dreaded each day to actual get up and take a shower. Every time you go in the showers there is always dirt every where, there is always hair every where, and there is no privacy any where.
The showers are made very small. When you enter in the showers there is a door that you enter in and there are three showers to your left. The shower doors are curtains that are hard to open and close. There is a part that you enter where you can put your towel, robe, soap and towel you wash with. Then there is another curtain that leads you to the shower part. The curtains are always touching and sticking to you. Therefore hair and dirt are getting on you and sticking to you also. The floor is aligned with stone tile that is always wet and dirty also from the shower shoes worn.
