I've never lived in a dorm before. Studying in the US gave me this new experience. The dorm I lived in is called Village Girls. You need to bring your toiletries（（洗漱用具）and clothing. But it's also important to bring things you may find trivial, like toys or something you hold dear. You may think it unnecessary, but you'll find that having something that reminds you of home can help you a lot.
When I first arrived, I only brought those things on the school list. However, there was an empty feeling in my heart, a sense of loneliness. There were no toys to hug at night, nor anything I could look at and be reminded of home. That's when I realized that though we saw things like toys as unnecessary, we needed them more than anything else.
It's also important to make friends. Though most parents prefer you find someone with good grades, I think it's better to choose someone with a good heart. If you're introverted（内向的）， it is even more important to greet everyone in your dorm. That's because once you keep yourself away from others, people may think. you are cold and aloof（冷漠的）. A friend of mine once told me，"No. matter how much you've grown，you're still a kid at heart. "I've come to realize that it is true. No matter how old we are, our inner（内心的）selves still need love and comfort. With a friend and a toy in hand， I hope you'll find joy no matter where you are.

①You can never do a kindness too soon, for you never know how soon it will be too late.
—Ralph Waldo Emerson
②How many times have we said to ourselves, "Oh, I'll do that tomorrow" Sometimes tomorrow never comes and we find ourselves saying, "Oh, I wish I hadn't put that off. "
③Our family was friends with Betty for many years. Over the years, we shared phone calls, birthday cards, and much more. Every year, Betty sent our youngest son Brandon a birthday card with five dollars in it. She did this until he graduated from high school.
④One year, not long after her birthday, I called to see how she was and ask her if she did anything special for her birthday. I was surprised when Betty didn't answer the phone. Instead, her daughter Carol did. Carol told me that her mom. was ill and had gone downhill fast. She was in hospice care（临终关怀）. Carol gave the phone to Betty. I talked to her and let her know that we loved her.
⑤As soon as I got off the phone, I sent a text to Brandon and let him know Betty wasn't doing well. Brandon stopped what he was doing and sent flowers to Betty.
⑥You can imagine how proud I was of Brandon when Carol called the next day. She told me that Betty loved the flowers very much. Just a few days later, Betty died.
⑦So, my friends, remember what Emerson once said, "You can never do a kindness too soon, for you never know how soon it will be too late. "?
