Dorm Life: Are We Having Fun Yet? What exactly is dorm life at Centenary Dorm life is popcorn; hauling laundry dowr stairs only to discover all the washers are ful fire drills at 3:00 a.m.; soap opera crowds. ii James Lobby; roommates; waiting by th mail box; making friends; keeping old frienc ships; Home! Another aspect of dorm life is the parkin lots. Each student who purchases a parkim permit is issued a lot in which to park. Thi sounds simple, but with the large number c students owning vechicles, it is usually a bi difficult to find a place to park. Many sti dents are forced to park in another parkin lot, and upon walking to their car the nex day, discover Smitty ' s memento. Once a pei son is lucky enough to find a parking spac they may retreat into their rooms and forge about the world if need be. For many students, the dorm room is thei own little apartment. Students here put extn effort into making their rooms comfortable Many have purchased carpets, some have refrigerators, some even microwaves, and o: course, the usual paraphernalia is hung fron the walls. Rooms range from many differen styles. Some are neat, some messy, color cc ordinated, or very individualistic. Many houn of a student ' s life are spent within the walls o the dorm. Studying, socializing and sleepinj are some of the basic activities employed b] students. Studying, one of the main activities stu dents partake in, causes many feelings Around 10:30 p.m. the most usual strikes — hunger. Some go to Murrell ' s while most tak advantage of free deliveries and order pizz from Domino ' s, Pizza King, and Mr. Gatti ' s.
