Room for Interpretation

To me, a person's house says a lot about them. Ever since I was little, I've enjoyed getting to see people's houses because I feel like it helps me understand them better. It gives me a glimpse into how they were raised, what they like to do, what kind of taste they have, etc. To me, knowing where someone comes from makes it easier to understand who they are now.

Even more so in college, I love to see people's dorms. A dorm is like a compressed view of a person's style. From that small room, I can tell the resident's cleaning habits, their favorite colors, and sometimes even what they like to eat (but that relates back to cleaning habits). How they get along with their roommate, how their furniture is arranged, whether or not they have a TV, and whether or not they've coordinated colors all give hints as to what they're like outside of class. The best part about dorms is that they're all different.
