The 10 Not So Secret Dorm Secrets

Gabrielle Malanowski '15

Elmira is a mostly residential campus, that strongly encourages to the max that you live on campus, and if you ask me the campus is like a little town. You got the library, the bookstore, the gym, the food markets, and even a doctor. Its cool but weird. Though I figured since most if not all of you will be living on campus might as well tell you ten things that happen in the dorms (well at least Alumni on one certain floor in particular).

1.) You will see times where there are people walking down the hall in towels and they will start up a conversation with people they pass. Kinda awkward sometimes.

2.) When someone has homemade food from home like cookies, people will descend upon you for a piece. (Watch out those teeth maybe aiming for the cookie but they could miss and bite you instead.)

3.) There maybe a knock on your door, that when you open it you will find two bodies sprawled in front of your door, saying hi and laughing for absolutely no reasons.
4.) Each floor has a person who I will call the Hugger. On my floor the chick is very fun and will hug you when ever she sees you. It's nice on those days you need a hug but don't want to ask for one.

5.) At one o'clock in the morning you might see people rolling down the hallway. (Watch out they could take you down like a bowling pin.)

6.) There will be doors on the floor open, but remember they aren't always open so you can look in, sometimes people just want air.(p.s. every floor has the door peeker do not be afraid to tell them off for doing it when you want privacy.)

7.) On your birthday you door maybe vandalised with post it notes saying happy birthday, balloons, or streamers!

8.) People will do their laundry and fall under two categories either be the people who are punctual picking it up, or will be the person who leave it there all day. (man I hate those people.)

9.) Warning! There will be people on the floor who believe they are still at home and will leave their dishes in the sink for days, until someone else cleans them when they get fed up seeing the dishes there. Grr, those people if I get my hands on them.

10.) Random floor dance parties, while the tours are going through!!! (Ok, well this one hasn't happened yet but my floor is trying to make it happen.)

So this is a message from the undercover secret dorm agent. Ok not really but whatever. Over and out.
