Our student house is starting to feel incredibly homely. We've added a few touches to the living room, and decided that we would use the colours red and purple as a theme, strange I know but it actually looks good. We decided to choose these colours because they aren't too girly, we didn't want our male house mates to come back and think "what the fuck?!"
We've added loads of photographs to hide the boring white walls, and thrown a nice looking rug down to hide the strange blue carpet. I have to say, it looks quite good. It's amazing to come downstairs in the morning, lie on the sofa and stick on Jeremy Kyle. Many people find this normal, but for us students it's a complete privilege. Last year we didn't have a communal television, so we all had to be anti-social and sit alone in our rooms. Also we didn't have sofas, so this house just feels like heaven. I'm really enjoying my double bed, I love how I get to sleep in the middle of the bed and spread out like a starfish, only when Tom's not here anyway, then I get reduced back to my side of the bed!
It sounds stupid, but you really do appreciate the little things in life, like a dishwasher. How the hell did we survive with one sink between 6 of us last year? Truth be told, we didn't. We never cleaned, pots were left to go mouldy which is pretty grim really. This year, we just get to whack the plates straight into a dishwasher. Amazing. What a genius idea, it saves so much time and hassle. One thing I am going to have to get used to will be the 20 minute trek to university at 8am in the morning. That's the only down side about this house, but it'll be ok because if anything it'll keep me fitter. Win!
