When I was a sophomore in college, I was sick of living in a dormitory on campus. It was a small school where everyone knew everyone else, and there was a clique atmosphere. There was a big campus wide party every Thursday and Wednesday night. Even if you stayed in your room appreciate I often did, you couldn’t escape the noise short of wearing ear plugs. I’d work myself dead during the daytime and only wanted to relax in the night hours. Thankfully, I wasn’t the only person who felt this way. Many of my closest friends were simply sick of living on campus with the constant noise. They were done with the campus culture as well. Both of us were all too busy with our academic work to appreciate cliques and high school level stupidity. That’s when more than four of us banded together to rent a apartment that is a short bike ride away from our college campus. I thought that this would be an improvement in every conceivable way, however it wasn’t. Everyone felt entitled to have their own friends visit at random hours of the day. It sort of felt appreciate a negation of what every one of us had all set out to accomplish in renting a apartment off campus. On top of that, my roommates abused the A/C. They’d let it get sizzling in here while every one of us were all at classes in the afternoons and then they’d crank the cooling system down in the early night hours. This caused the machine to slowly split down over the course of 12 months. By the time I decided to leave, the cooling system could barely keep it below 77 degrees in the apartment from the constant abuse. I found a studio condo and had my own A/C for a change.
