Above is the living room that is located in Lever hall. I like that we have an area to sit, however, it is not very comfortable. The furniture is patio furniture! It is plastic and hard and when you sit on it you basically slide off because it is so slippery. I cannot go sit down there and be comfortable so it's pretty much useless. If I don't want to study in my room, or go to the library, there aren't many places for me to go. I would think with the amount of money we pay for tuition they could give us furniture that belongs inside and isn't waterproofed for the outdoors. If I didn't live on campus this would not be a problem.

I really enjoy cooking, and when I came to college I tried to keep cooking. I've made a lot of cakes, brownies, and other things. But the first time I used the oven in the community kitchen, I practically burned down the building. Basically the oven is so old it does not have a timer. So you have to try and time it as best as you can. The first thing I cooked was brownies, the box said to cook them for forty minutes and I did. Well it turns out the oven cooks everything about ten minutes faster than I expected. So the brownies were extremely burnt and hard and not edible. Since then I have learned to take everything out ten minutes earlier than it says. I really would like to have an oven that does not burn everything, and also it smells. I'm pretty sure last time I cooked some bread for a dinner we had it smelled like gas, which cannot be a good thing. This is another reason I hate campus life!
