Dorm Life

Me + awesome suite mates + stoners across the hall + stoners down the hall + elephants upstairs + crazy drunk guys + random drunk girls + nothing ever on TV + occassional boredom = DORM LIFE (in Chapel Glen 804, UofU)

Dorm life is nothing short of an experience. In my room, things are pretty normal and my suite mates are awesome! But, there are some let's say "interesting" characters in my building. In the room across the hall from my own, live two guys. There are funny and nice, but they also like their friends Mary Jane and Jack Daniels quite a bit. Then in the room directly on the other side of my wall, live two more guys. I have never personally met these two, but they are skater/boarder guys. They feel like it is necessary to skate board in the middle of the hallway and in their room. They are also friends with Mary Jane. The hallway always smells like dead skunk, from trying to cover up the smell of their friend, and frankly its annoying. In the room directly above me, live (wanna guess??) two more guys! These guys always have their friends over and I swear they never sleep. I don't even remember the last time when they were actually quiet. It constantly sounds like a wrestling match is going on above me. The two guys amd their friends sound like a heard of elephants...either they don't care with how loud they are or they are too dumb to figure out that the people below can hear them! They also think that showering at 3 and 4 in the morning is a great idea. Then of course, being in college, there are the people who always find it necessary to get hammered. Somehow after partying, everyone ends up in my building. If it only happened on the weekends, this would be a different story, but it happens pretty much everyday and night. The guys are not as annoying as the girls because they tend to me more calm and just chill. The girls on the other hand are very loud and obnoxious! They always find the need to scream or yell and they also like to run, which is just a bad idea. For one, they can't even walk straight, so why would it be a good idea to run in a confined area; for two, they are usually close to the point of passing out, so any extra physical activity is bad news; and for three, when they are drunk the step louder when they walk, so when they run , it sounds like a stampede. Add nothing good is ever really on cable TV and you have my life in the dorm.
Don't get me wrong, I love being on my own and being able to have certain experiences, I just wish some experiences were limited. When it comes to hanging out with friends and being able to come and go as you please, dorm life is amazing. That side really needs to start over-ruling the other side...once that happens, dorm life would be perfect. Too bad their really is no such thing as perfect.
