The Right Amount of Living Space (and Me Going off Topic)

So a lot of people have been looking for housing or already found it and for many one of their criteria is how much space they got.

It really makes me thing how much space do I need and what is the right amount of space.  At home I have two rooms: a sleeping room and a study room.  In reality my study room is just a huge storage spaces for the books I've collected over the years while I sit in a corner on my computer (like I'm doing now!) I definitely can survive with less space.

The only other place I've lived in for an extended period of time is my dorm.  Now since I've lived there for a long time, I think it is safe to say I can survive with that little space.  Still, I don't know if it is the right amount of space.

People may know that my room's messiness is based on my attitude, though I think it is opposite than most.  When I'm relaxed my room is messy and when I'm stressed my room is clean.  The reason is when I'm busy I like to take cleaning breaks to relax hence a clean room while stressed.  During those relaxed times,  my side feels like there is no room, so I could say my dorm doesn't have enough space because I feel like my messiness is surrounding me when I'm relaxed.


Those are the only two places I have to go on, so there is no real answer at the end of this blog.  I definitely don't need that much space.  Maybe it is best to make a list of things I need space for.


Things I need space for:
space to throw books I'm using at the moment that I can reach easily
Computer and a place to put paper to write on
area to place my clothes before I want to put them away
shelves to stick my mini library of books
pacing room (useful not for thinking, but for rocking out to music...)
sleeping (can't forget that since I'm tall)
clothes area

Hmm just writing this out just makes me realize how I'm just not in my dorm.  I leave early in the morning and don't come back until around a few hours before I go to sleep.  Probably because I sat in my room for 18 years I just want to chill around and not go back.  Still it is always nice to have a good area to come back to (see how I brought it back to living area). Since I'm usually not in my dorm it may seem I can survive in any place, but at the end of the day I think we all want a nice home with enough room to give us comfort.

I'll just be happy I don't live in this
