Irwin Thompson a Gelso, sein 3 art) PARR@ISE 3616925 Moving in, out Dorm life hastles Je the end of August ap- proached, people from all parts of the world came together to join in the madness of moving away from the home and into these tiny, dull rooms in buildings called college dormitories. The rooms containing two beds, two desks and two clos- ets, were to be shared by roommates who had never met. The bathroom facilities were to be shared by either two rooms or the entire wing of a building, depending upon which dorm they were in. Stor- age space quickly disap- peared as boxes and suitcases were unloaded, and room decorations had to be decided upon between roommates. Within the next few months, Charles Lee moves his clothes in the dorm for the long, cold win- ter. the hectic chaos of this new world began to simmer down. You eventually met those par- tying neighbors that have been keeping you awake ev- ery night and discovered they were not so bad after all. You finally figured out the best time of the day for you to take a shower, do your laundry, or maybe even clean up your room, and your stomach suf- fered and got used to the often unrecognizable food served in the cafeterias. When your life finally be- came settled, and room deco- rations met perfection, it was time to pack it all up and re- turn home, only to find your- self doing it all over again three months later. -by Tammi Tinsley Students often pack their cars to the brim in order to bring a little home life to college.
