Welcome to my blog!
I’m Cassie. I moved onto Rowan University’s campus in the fall of 2009, and it was my first time living on my own. No parents, unlimited freedom, and being surrounded by thousands of college kids every day sounded amazing and I couldn’t wait for my new life away from home.
What I didn’t realize, however, was the huge amount of responsibility that I acquired the minute I unpacked my bags and settled into my dorm room. I’ve learned a lot over the first semester at Rowan about what works, and what (clearly) does not when it comes to living alone and being independent. Over this next semester, I plan to share what I’ve learned, provide tips and tricks for making dorm life easier, and recap the experiences of other freshman who live on campus.
