The Wonderful Bedroom
Have you ever wondered how something so simple as your bedroom could have so much meaning? How a place where one usually just sleeps and doesn't return until the next night, could be so special to someone? It does make one think, once stopped and thought about. To some, it means as much as a gym does to a basketball player or as much as a tree does to a monkey. But then there are also those who still think of their bedroom as just a place to sleep and prepare themselves. I guess things have different meanings for each person, but for many including myself, their bedroom ranks near the top of the list. A bedroom is meaningful because often it is where one grows up, where lots of time is spent, and where one can

And what could possibly be a more relaxing place than your own room? It's amazing how one can concentrate so well in their room, unlike a college student who may have trouble trying to focus through all of the distractions.
Not only is the bedroom a perfect place to sleep and study, but what if you just want to get away and relax? In your room, you get to control things for yourself, such as the temperature. It's not like outside where you can't do anything about the weather, but rather, you choose how cool or warm you want it. You get to make your bed as comfortable as you wish. This is your space, it's not fit for anybody else's needs but your own. Ever try and watch what you want on TV while there are four other members of your family fighting to grab control of the same thing? Well, I have the perfect solution. Move the TV in your own room and lock the door. It's wonders how many more opportunities you have when you have your own room. I've always had my own room and pretty much take it for granted. I always have the option of taking a nap in peace and quiet since I have never had to share. The list of positives is endless when it comes to having your own room
A final and probably the greatest factor of all is the individuality of one's room. This is what declares the difference from one person's room to the next. It brings out one's character and personality. Usually, you can tell how a person is by some factors

Extreme temperatures should be avoided as it disturbs the sleep. Its better to have a window open to get fresh air and have the right amount of blankets and soft pillows than breathing stale air. The sheets and nightwear should be nice and clean.

The contrast between the bedroom and living room highlight the differences between public perception and private reality. Living rooms are often used to entertain and socialize guests. When entering a house, guests are often ushered into the living room, where they will then take a seat on the couch, become comfortable, and converse with others. The living room is a public room and open to guests. In contrast, the bedroom is a private room in the house. It is a place of rest in the night and relaxation during the day. It is for private and intimate activities, reserved for its occupant or occupants. Guests are often not
Over the first five years of Jack’s life, the room is where he finds safety and comfort. Jack was born in that room and lived with his mother there for the first five years of his life. He got accustomed to it and knew everything about it. Furthermore, you can see Jack showing his childish love to his basic belongings in the following quote. “‘Jack, it’s all frayed and stained from seven years…I can smell it from here. I had to watch you learn to crawl on that rug, to walk on it. You pooed on it once, the soup spilled, I could never get it clean.’ ‘Yeah I was born on her and I was dead in her too.’ ‘Yeah, so what I’d really like to do is throw it in the incinerator.’ ‘No!’” (Donoghue, 305). Some of the very few belongings from the room mean a lot to him and are memorable. For example, a rug is utilized in many different ways in his life. He was born on it and escaped from the room in it. It signifies the beginning and the end of his life in the room. Altogether, Jack finds out who he is by forming personal attachments to the room.
One thing students lose when they decide to dorm is privacy. They have to share a bedroom, bathroom, and living space with other students. Some students have no experience sharing a room with another human being, and the transition can be frustrating at times. Studying is difficult
The bedrooms have more obvious associations, as I am sure you can imagine. Sexual activity, intimacy, vulnerability, passion, security, safety, comfort, and feelings of connectedness and or closeness all correspond to what one thinks of a bedroom. Bedrooms are very personal rooms, and what is kept in them often reflects part of their character.
As an only child, I adore personal space. I grew up never sharing a bedroom or bathroom, never fought with anyone over the remote control nor shotgun in the car. When I received my roommate assignment, I will admit that I cringed. Stuck in a triple, I imagined a dark, cramped room with all three of us living on top of each other. When I arrived at school, the room did not match my nightmares and I thought all was well. The first two nights of school, I slept alone in the room, as one roommate stayed at a hotel with her parents and the other had a horse show out of town. The mini-fridge is right across from my bed and the electronic glow of the clock ruined my
Nice quite room where no one can bother you, being able to work on your Assignments without being to bothered by people/objects/sounds.

In October 1929, at the close of the Feminist Movement, Virginia Woolf published her famous writing, A Room of One’s Own. This feministic extended essay, based on a series of lectures Woolf presented at Newnham College and Girton College, channels Woolf’s thoughts and insights about women and fiction through the character of Mary Benton, who serves as the narrator. Through A Room of One’s Own, Woolf addresses three major points: having money and a room of one’s own (creative freedom), gender roles, and the search for truth. These three themes exist in other short stories such as “The Office” by Alice Munro and “I Stand Here Ironing” by Tillie Olsen, where they reveal themselves in varying degrees.
In Chapters Four and Five of A Room of One 's Own,, the focus on Women & Fiction shifts to a consideration of women writers, both actual writers and ultimately one of the author 's own creation.
Sometimes it can be easier to let others make decisions. People find comfort in letting others decide deadlines or goals. People can find direction in others’ choices for them that they could never have possibly come up for themselves. That having been said, life also requires ownership. A person’s life is full of options and can mean so much more if personal decisions are made within. It certainly is difficult, but the struggle often makes the result all that much sweeter. Such is the case in E.M. Forster’s novel A Room with a View. Throughout the story Lucy is stuck within the rigid, cookie-cutter class system. She finds herself surrounded by people who mindlessly go with expected actions and must walk in step behind all the adults in
I’m sitting in my room that I have now, taking some time, and imagining what my magical bedroom would be like. My magical, imaginary bedroom would be out of this world, extraordinary. Something many people probably dream about, but know they would not, or could not have. It would be a dream come true if I could actually have a bedroom like this. I also wished my family and I could live in an extremely big house. With many rooms, such as, a big kitchen, a two car garage, 3 bathrooms, and 4 bedrooms, one for guests.
The hardest thing for a lot of students is keeping a clean bedroom. It can be very intimidating to clean your bedroom, especially if its been a a disaster for quite some time. You may find yourself getting overwhelmed and asking yourself where should you even start? Well in my experience I have had the best results just by following three very simple steps, which include creating a good cleaning environment, getting organized, and finally polishing everything up.
Another reason that my room makes me feel comfortable is that I love to dance, but I am embarrassed to do it in front of other people, so whenever I am in my room I can turn the radio and put on some of my favorite music and dance my best. My room gives me the confidence that I don’t have in other places, it helps me to have trust in myself, I can do the most ridiculous thing but my room won’t say anything, it will never judge me. My room is the only place where I will try new things and if I feel confident I will try them outside of it. I will give it my best and that is how my room helps me, by doing something there first I believe more in myself.
