Living with Boys

I have never lived with boys, besides my brother and my dad. It is actually very interesting. Especially since the past 4 years I have been living with girls, girls, and more girls in a dorm and then in my sorority house. I know that if there were 5 girls in my flat and not the 2 girls and 3 boys, we would probably kill each other, but still....I live with 3 boys. Age 20. At university for the first time. WHAT was I thinking?

What I have learned in my 72 hours of living with boys:

1. Boys are Dirty! I knew this but the boys we have are especially dirty. Not necessarily dirty but just do not clean up after themselves. My flatmate, Mang Yin (the Chilean) loves to cook. Unfortunately, he does not like to clean up after himself. It is 8 pm on Monday and the rice, onion, chicken flavor concoction that he cooked last night is still in a pot in the kitchen. We told him to clean it up but he said that it was for the dog and left the flat. We do NOT have a dog!
2. Boys eat. A Lot. & sometimes with weird foods. Exhibit A:

Chicken Cubes! This is what I would compare to the chicken flavoring in Ramen Noodles. A huge container of these mysterious "chicken cubes" is sitting on our kitchen counter because it is used so often that no one bothers to put it away.
3. Boys say whatever the heck they are thinking. This comes to me after, unfortunately, hearing things that I wish I had not heard from them. Anything is game for a conversation topic at any time at our flat and I am learning to just prepare myself for that.
4. Boys are really easy to live with. Aside from #1-3 listed above. These boys are so easy to live with. If I can just get over the fact that the kitchen is going to be messy, it is a pretty easy life and I think it will be a great semester.

Anyways, I went to school today and had a wonderful day! School is basically a fashion show for the majority of the students but I met some great people from all over the world and could not be more excited.

Cheers!
