LIVING IN STYLE?! LIVING - DORM STYLE By Scott Kahl God, what is that smell? I can re- member saying one morning as I went to leave the dorm. It wasn ' t all that unusual a statement coming from a resident of Justin Hall. Things seemed to happen that year, and every year since, which never cease to amaze me. That particular morning, however, the smell was the residue from a previous night of cow-tipping. That was the ad- hoc sport of the week where the real test of masculinity was to push over a sleep- ing cow standing on a hill. The trick was to get away before the angry mammal came to her senses halfway down the hill, and caught up with you. The shoes seemed to be the primary casualties of the event and they reminded all who had missed the event of just what had happened. At the very least, they gave us a strong hint! One of the most popular complaints from men and women alike was the size of the rooms. It felt like we were living in camp, but competing in an adult aca- demic world during the day. No matter how much any of us complained though, I knew most of us really loved it. Living in the dorms gave us an aspect of college life that not everyone was lucky enoug h to participate in. No mat- ter how bad dorm food was or how much we might long for the privacy of our parents ' homes, I don ' t think any of us would have traded. The first few weeks of college dorm life were the biggest test. It was the most trying time we had seen in our lives in many different ways. We were adjusting to a new school, new friends, and new expectations. Most of all we were expected to sleep in a room with someone we didn ' t even know that first night! Sometimes, the roommate situa- tions didn ' t work out, but other times they provided us with a best friend that we will always cherish. I ' m a senior now and I ' m still on campus. I can safely say I ' ve seen the worst to the best of dorm room situa- tions. My stomach has endured many questionable meals and somehow my appetite has always prevailed. I ' ve had some pretty strange roommates but now I have the very best. There were plenty of times I longed for an off-cam- pus apartment, but I ' m glad I stuck it out. The good far outweighs the bad and somehow shows its better colors in retrospect. I feel sorry for those who did not at least get the chance to live on campus one year. At the very least it was a first hand lesson in sharing. On the other hand, you know it must have had some strange effect if I can still conjure up fond memories with the passing smell of cow patties. 13
