With spring break quickly approaching, I am beginning two things. First, that it is becoming ever so much harder to concentrate on work of any kind. Secondly, that the only freshman year of college I will ever have is about two months from being in the books. Midterms approaching will mark the official three quarters mark of the year and I can't seem to concentrate on anything at all. All I want to do is relax, enjoy campus shenanigans,and actually savor the dorm lifestyle. Yeah, it really sucks having to wear flip flops to the shower/bathroom/anywhere you don't want to get foot herpes but the dorms are a pretty cool place. I suppose it is a luck of the draw type deal regarding how you enjoy your first year experience but my hall is pretty sweet. I will miss not being able to yell "Who wants to play Super Smash Bros.," and having 12 different people to play nintendo sixty four with at any given time. Next year I will not have a resident advisor to antagonize. If I do any dumb shit in my apartment, there is no almighty school that owes me money anyway to pay for it. I will not have Lil' Cathy to take my pizza boxes out for me, or to always make me turn around and walk to the other shower cause she's cleaning the one I use at nine thirty in the morning. Sure the dorm has it's down sides as well, but many can be handled using easy to follow steps. A major problem I hear people complaining about is the early morning fire alarm. Sleep through it. It is easy as that. Also some complain about there being too much noise when they are trying to study or sleep. Banging on the walls or screaming at your neighbor is where many seem to go wrong. I have found the best way to get people to stop being loud on nights when I have something to do the next day is revenge. They'll think twice about jamming to mediocre ninety's alternative rock til four in the morning when I get up a six and play the loudest, dumbest, most rediculous music/ disney theme songs I can find.
