Dorm Life

[Spinaroonie]

I never lived in a dorm in college, but I visited a few. These are some of the best years of your life, even if they may not always seem like it now while you're living them.

IT's syings like that that make suicide rates hat they are.

*Sleeps comfortably in her way off campus house which is shared with two friends who are never home*

They're probably at that dorm party that's keeping this guy up.

God I miss that!!!
I don't miss sharing a room though, I am just like Mellon Collie, alone in my off-campus house that is closer to campus then my dorm was!

My RA's were pretty good at keeping it quiet though, but when they went out of town!!! The party was great!!!

It was loud, only when it needed to be.

You know what, the parties are never as good as in first year. My advice, party like its' 1999. Just not so hard that they land you in hot water academically, after all that's what you're there for.

Honestly tho, I would be worried if it wasn't loud on a saturday night at 1 am. Get some ear plugs. Sometimes you have to roll with the punches a little bit.

How did I not see this thread b4?

I've been living at the dorms for almost a year now, and I can't wait to get out! The girls on my floor are party animals. I live right opposite the elevator, so I hear everything, esp. when I don't want to.

But when it's late and quiet, I get worried. At 1:00am, some girls are just going out and, they could be out all weekend.

Not me though, I'm a good girl.

I lived in a dorm for five years----yep, FIVE. I know, what a loser. Actually I liked my dorm a lot. I had my own room (either a single room or a double to myself), the dining hall was in my dorm (nice during the winter), and there was a mini conveince store in the dorm too (late night snacks). The dorm I lived in was an all girls dorm. I only had one major party prob---late night party above me and a horrible RA (who was fired a few months before the end of the year). My suggestions are (for next year and possibly this year) that you try for a room of your own that is at the end of the hall (less people walking by), try to get into the quiet area of your dorm if there is one (mine had a 20 hour quiet wing---it wasn't as bad as it sounds) (or suggest that there be one), suggest that there be quiet hours to be followed for next year such as 10pm-8am on weekdays and 12pm to 9am on weekends. You're not the only one who likes to be able to sleep at a "normal" time and expects others to be respectful. Just remember that this is the first time that many of these people have been away from their parents and instead of fully blaming them, blame their parents for their poor parenting skills (hey it's better than flipping out at 3am). Always tempting is to figure out who the partiers are and knock on their door at 7 or 8 am and run like hell.

Dorm life. BOOOOOO. I roomed with my linemate from highschool, he was the guard on the offensive line, i was the tackle, and we were really good friends...until this year, i had no idea who he was...i'm not into partying, i'd rather read a book or lift or something....he was smoking weed and drinking constantly...it sucked. i moved back home. dorm life sucks, having to shower in sandles, shit like that...i've got a single for next year...thank god that'll be better
