The Quiet House

Houses back on the mainland have numbers. When you are traveling to a friend's house or to someone you know's house, you would call it (insert their name)'s house. This is not true in Hawaii. The houses do have numbers, but this is only for postal reasons. Houses here have names. I live in the Quiet House. Some of my friends live in the Bridge House, The Red House, The Backyard House, The Country Club House, The Goat House and The White House. Houses get there names for different reasons--sometimes is where they are located (Bridge House, Temple House), sometimes it has to do with their color (Red House, Yellow House), sometimes it is used as a describing word (Quiet House, Utah House, Castle House, A-frame House), and sometimes there is no meaning behind it (VIP house, Tree House). Each house has a different personality and mine has a very girlie one.
My house was built specifically to be student housing because we do not have apartments here. There are the dorms (which do not even house all the freshman) and houses people in the community own and rent out. My house was built to accommodate a bunch of girls (38 to be exact!). We have the house with the most amount of girls on campus and it is crazy. Now the house is divided up into parts, so I only see and feel like I live with 10 girls. And to be honest, I do not see all ten of them everyday. Our house can get really crazy at times, but it is very nice. Living with ten girls does not always bring out the best in everyone, but I am living with a bunch of girls, so I feel like it is bound to happen. Every day is a new experience and something to learn and grow from.

My roomies are always bringing home a new and exciting story. We have some crazy stories, fun times, and silly adventures. We laugh at the craziest of things. The picture above does not have all of us, but pretty much sums us up. We actually have to have a 2 quote walls because we say enough stupid, funny, or just quotable things!!!
