Totes the best dorm Er' for realsies
So I realized my first October post title makes zero sense, since I didn't explain it. Hmm , weird how that works out. I have new roommates , and for the most part their great. Riley was one of my roommates over the summer , so it's nice to have a familiar face around again. I'll admit , initially I was not excited for the new roommates. My summer dorm got along so well, and we all were becoming good friends right when the semester ended. I doubted that fall would have any of the fun and friendship summer did , since we'd all be under attack from our school schedules. I'm pretty surprised now though, because in a lot of ways this semester has been more fun than last. Not all of our dorm mates are that close yet, but for the most part , we all get along. Two of my roommates that I've gotten to be good friends with are Chase and Scott. Scott and I get each other's sense of humor really well which is nice cause a lot of the time my HILARIOUS jokes fall pretty flat, but thank goodness for Scott's understanding and appreciation for my sarcasm. He is pretty sarcastic too , and we have had some great pranks pulled on Riley, who honestly doesn't know what sarcasm is. He can never tell when we are joking or being serious and it's lead to some incredible moments. For instance , Riley started asking Scott if he liked Jordan. Scott of course said yes and went along with it. Riley then began stating how he knew cause of Scott's body language and me and Scott just kept going along with it pretending that they were having some incredible romantic relationship , but Scott had been trying to keep it under wraps. Riley is still convinced that they are in love and that he can read body language, which I have asked Riley to explain, but all I get is, " Ya know man, the way he moves, and he laughs, and ya he like looks at her and wants her attention, ya know?" I always just smile politely, while holding back laughter and nod my head as Riley explains his ability to read people's bodies. Awesome. Chase is a really funny guy to. He recently has a girlfriend, so he has pretty much moved out. We see him in between his makeout sessions , his meals and classes. Thats about it. But when we do hangout with him we have a real party. Chase and I are more alike in the way we think about people and situations. Call us crazy, but we believe that everyone should clean the kitchen, I know I'm kind of liberal, but that's just what we think. Apparently none of our other roommates do , so Chase and I have done them for the past 5 weeks. We've gotten fed up though recently and have gone on strike . Our kitchen now resembles a construction site and hazardous waste plant combined into one. I avoid going in there because A) the smell, similar to rotting fruit, B) the feeling that I should clean this up, cause I'm not going to , and C) the fact that our kitchen floor has more food on it than we have in our fridge. I'm guessing this is pretty typical of a 6 guy dorm, but come on. When we can physically feel the encroaching bacteria , I think it's time to put aside the masculine impulse to let it rot, and clean it. Eh ? Beside the collapsing health of our dorms food supply, we have a lot of great things too. We exchange Youtube videos , kind of like peace offerings, and we've come across some pretty great ones. I'll be posting the one which has captured our dorms essence.
