I am a perfectionist and have always had an utter disdain for failure. This has kept me from trying a lot of things in my life. Having finally accepted that failure is a requirement for a fulfilling and diversified life experience, I have created this year long project in an attempt to become comfortable with the idea of failing. This blog chronicles my journey with failure.

Day 206: Dorm Room Decisions
This coming weekend I was planning on going to Ohio for a secular student leadership conference. We were staying in Ohio State's dorm rooms. The options are a single bed room ($60 a night) or a quad dorm room ($24 a night). At first, I requested a quad room (3 roommates). It was much cheaper, and it would be a chance for me to possibly meet people and make new friends.
Result: Today, I decided to get a single room. That way, I would be able to get sleep whenever I wanted, and I'm a VERY light sleeper. So I emailed someone who works for the secular organization and asked him if it would be possible to switch to a single dorm room. He replied and said that they had already turned in the room requests to the university.
So I decided to call the university. Long story short, I was able to switch to a single dorm room. And overall result--I was VERY glad to have switched to a single dorm room :-)
