RESIDENTS OF CAMPUSONE Homesickness is quite common for first year students but after living away from family for five years, Aleena Dewji has figured it out.

“Don’t lock yourself up in your room and don’t be scared to meet new people… if you don’t put yourself out there, no one is going to come to you.”

Becoming independent is a part of growing into an adult and starting a life of your own. Dewji says CampusOne offers its residents diversity and freedom.

“I want to have a fun time in residence… here I have that liberty and there’s so many nice people here. I want to make sure I know everyone and they know me,” Dewji said.

DEAR WISEONE Dear WISEONE, Doing my laundry is a chore, literally and figuratively.

People leave their clothes in the machines long after their cycle is over. Hauling down my laundry basket only to find that machines are full of clean laundry is unbelievably frustrating. I know it is disrespectful to touch other’s things, but it is disrespectful to waste other’s time. I already hate doing laundry!

Help!

Sincerely, Throwing in the Towel Laundry is not a fun task to begin with and working up the motivation to do the chore only to be thwarted by people that haven’t timed their laundry is extremely annoying. That being said two wrongs do not make a right. Removing someone’s clothing from a machine is a residence no-no. Not timing

your laundry is too! My advice is be a good example. Time your laundry on your phone and be prompt.

Encourage your floormates, roommates, and friends to do the same. And remember: no one is perfect.

Life has a funny way of making you forget your laundry in the washing machine.

Dear WiseONE, When I moved here, I thought that I would be friends with my roommates. I couldn’t wait to grab coffee together, complain about assignments together, binge Netflix together. The keyword being TOGETHER. The reality sucks!

We never hang out and lately one of my roommates has been leaving passive aggressive notes about noise, cleanliness, you name it. I don’t need them to be my best friends; but, I don’t want

to walking on eggshells in my own home.

Sincerely, RoomHATE Dear RoomHATE, I’m sorry that your roommates don’t seem to share your dream of friendship. Living with other people is probably one of the most difficult things you can do!

Often expectation and reality do not match. However, that doesn’t mean that you have change your entire lifestyle to make others happy. Your noteleaving roommate might be nervous around conflict or just communicates differently than you. Try to find time to sit down and discuss the problems face to face. If you are worried about conversation, invite your Don. Good luck!

BUILDING UPDATES CampusOne is a Silver LEED certified building. We have green technology throughout our building.The rainwater collection system saves rainwater the roof and uses it to flush toilets on the lower floors.

The entire building is lit with LED lights, which last longer and use less energy than traditional bulbs. In addition, the hallways and lounges use motion sensors to detect when light is needed in these areas and keep them off when no one is around.

Even some of our roof is green! Literally! Parts of our roof have ground cover plants that insulate the building from intense temperatures and help with drainage after rain and storms. Keep an eye out for more green initiatives.
