My dysfunctional dorm family
The people in my dorm are starting to drive me a little insane. They're really cool people, all one hundred and forty of them. However, being in such a small dorm with such a small number of people has its ups and downs. For one, everyone knows everyone, which was wonderful until everyone got to know everyone AND everyone's business. There's always gossip going around about who did what or who kissed who and stuff like that. We've gotten so close...maybe even a little too close. Almost like a family, except more dysfunctional. Recently people have gotten into the habit of taking things that don't belong to them as well, such as my ID that I never got back and had to pay ten dollars to replace, or my family sized bag of Doritos that I left on the couch for approximately thirteen minutes before it grew teeth on the inside and magically devoured all the chips inside by itself. Sounds extremely annoying, right? Well it is! Everyone in my dorm is cool and all but I'm thinking about distancing myself a little because some people have clearly gotten a bit too comfortable and are now crossing lines that should never be crossed. I'm pretty frustrated but there's a simple solution to all of this. I'm just going to keep things private. Both my secrets and possessions are going to be safe and sound from now on because I'm not trusting anyone else with them!
