Mum & Daughter
Hi, sweetheart! How is dorm life going?
Hi, Mum! It’s going well. It’s busy, but I like it.
Good. Tell me about your roommates. Are they nice?
Yes, they are nice, but they are very different. I live with two girls in one room.
Two girls in one room? That’s a lot. What are they like?
The first one is Chloe. She is very friendly and very talkative. She always says hello to everyone. She likes meeting new people, and she often invites friends to our room.
That sounds fun… but also noisy.
Yes, sometimes it is noisy. The second roommate is Mia. She is quiet and very organized. Her desk is always clean, and her books are in perfect order. She studies every evening.
And what about you? Where do you fit in?
I’m in the middle. I like talking, but I also need quiet time. So we made some simple rules.
What rules?
We keep the room clean, and we don’t play loud music after 10 p.m. If Chloe wants to invite friends, she tells us first. And if Mia is studying, we try to be quiet.
That sounds very mature. Do you get along?
Yes, most of the time. Sometimes we disagree about small things, like the window or the lights, but we talk and fix it.
I’m proud of you. Dorm life teaches you a lot.
It does! And it’s helping me become more independent.
