College Lesson Learned #19

#19- Don’t be surprised if you walk into your room and people are there who aren’t your roommate.



It’s safe to say that my room is the place to be. Not because it’s nicer than the other dorms, because it’s not. I’m sure you’re wondering, well if it isn’t better, than why do people hang out there even when you’re not there. In all of my modesty, I humbly say that it is because I live there… definitely doesn’t have anything to do with the fridge or the 40” television or Xbox live. That’d be crazy.

Anyway, I’m pretty sure that other people are in my room more than I am. Seriously. First semester at college I was always out and about and committed to 32.4 clubs or activities (yes, 32.4, back off, you don’t know my life!), and I’d walk in and Terry and my friend Dave and Tom would be sitting with my roommate on our two beds. I’d walk in and get a little upset at them. They come in my room, they sit on my bed, but they DON’T eat my food? I told them that I wanted it gone, I have too much for my own good. My poor mother thinks that I’m starving at school, forgetting that I have a meal plan.

One time in particular, I was going to hang out with some people on a Friday or Saturday Night, and I come back to sit down and go to bed. I opened the door and there were nine people in my room. Nine. At this point, this was the greatest number of people I had had in my room ever, and I couldn’t believe it. Funny thing is, I lock my door. My roommate had allowed one to come in and watch a movie with “a few friends.” I’m not sure if he realized that “a few friends” meant nine. But whatever, they were watching The Producers, a personal favorite of mine. So… I couldn’t go to bed. They did however drink some hot cocoa and eat some food so it was all good.

Moral: Don’t be awesome, people will attempt to seize control of your room.
