I'm leaving this dorm (for probably the last time) tomorrow morning. Right now? I'm eager to go.
I admit that I enjoyed dorm life this semester. I'm living in an honors dorm, which is nice. I made a number of friends, people with whom I could chat, play pool, and do homework. I played a lot of N64 with my roommate and the guy across the hall, for example. I'd say that from when I get up in the morning until 10 PM every day, this dorm is a fine place to live.
Please note that it is after 10 PM.
I am appalled at the behavior of many of my floormates. Not by the behavior of those I know – as I said, I made friends with a number of them, and found them to be fine people. No, the ones I'm thinking of are a few others whose names I don't know, and whose faces are barely familiar. I'm sure it's only a few. The damage they do, however, is far more than their share.
I don't remember every event. They only occur intermittently, they vary in intensity. But right now, the bulletin board for this half of the floor is in pieces on the floor. There is water (or something else) spilled all over and around it, making a slipping hazard. One of the trash cans has been dumped, further down the hall. The faceplate of the water fountain is gone. The plastic cover for the paper towel dispenser is busted. There's the partly-burt remains of something in the sink, and I'm not even sure what. All of this happened within the last three hours.
I have heard no remorse expressed by any of those responsible. We got a warning letter from the dean, and I've seen no change. We even had an obligatory floor meeting, solely for the purpose of discussing this.
These are honors students.
