The Digs Life

As you guys probably know, I haven't quite made the leap to digs life yet; I'm still happily in res. However, my boyfriend moved into digs this year and I've discovered that dating a guy in digs has both its advantages and its disadvantages...

Advantages:

1. I don't have awkward run-ins with random guys on my way to the bathroom.
2. There is no fear of a walk of shame (although at this point I think we're far enough into the relationship not to consider it a walk of shame :P )
3. We can chill and watch movies with the guys who live with him (which, incidentally, has so far included comedies, rom-coms and rugby matches. Interesting combination)
4. I can convince him to feed me in the morning :D
5. I can avoid res food by cooking decent meals in his kitchen.
6. Hungover throwing up can be in the privacy of the bathroom and not in his res bedroom sink (yes that happened. No I am not proud of it)
7. There are no worries about being caught with vodka etc. (which are forbidden in res. My res, anyway).
8. They have an epic blackboard that I can draw stickmen on :D
9. They have couches that my drunken friends can crash on if necessary (which has not happened yet, but it's a possibility).

Disadvantages:

1. He frequently runs out of money and so has no petrol to give me a lift to his place.
2. Thus going to visit him usually involves a 20 minute walk.
3. The above walk is not particularly fun at 7:30 in the morning.
4. Or when I'm drunk at 3am.
5. His kitchen is a permanent health hazard. Seriously. The floors are sticky. A colony of ants live in there. And apparently there has been the occasional cockroach. Blagh. The same applies to the living room after predrinks.

As you can see, the advantages far outweigh the disadvantages. Which is why I can't wait to get back there at the end of this vac :D I may not live there but I spend enough time there to miss it. So shout out to the awesome boys from the Wreck, for making the first term of 2012 so much fun :D
