We Love the Night Life

Mornings around the dorm are usually pretty calm. Half of my suite mates are lying in bed still contemplating whether or not they are going to skip class, while the rest of us are sluggishly preparing for our first class of the day. I’ve heard stories of other suites fighting over the shower and sink space, claiming that if you don’t have a class within the next hour, then you don’t belong in the bathroom. No such fighting takes place in my dorm. We tend to stay out of each other’s way when we are heading to the shower to simple stick our head under the faucet or at the sink when we are brushing our teeth. All we try to do is look semi presentable for class, no make up for us.

Afternoons are even less eventful. Some of us are still sitting in our last class of the day, counting the minutes until we can return back to our room. Others, who have completed their learning for the day, have passed out in their beds until dinner. Finally, a select few decide to take advantage of the quiet, and work on their homework before the chaos begins.

It’s not until 8:00 when everyone wakes up and the madness begins. On any given day at this time you can find any number of things happening. People getting dressed up and preparing for the many parties they plan to make an appearance at, a gathering of girls loudly discussing the day’s events and the drama that took place, or even a couple of people playing dodge ball in the hall, putting off those papers that are due in the very near future.
