Borrowing clothes without asking (and pretending it’s fine).
BORROWING CLOTHES WITHOUT ASKING (AND PRETENDING IT’S FINE).
Follow us for more deep dives into the hilarious chaos of dorm life.
Ah, the hallowed halls of our residential colleges. Amidst the late-night study sessions, the profound intellectual debates, and the occasional questionable communal shower, there was always that one unspoken rule, or rather, the frequently broken one: the sacred wardrobe boundary. Remember stumbling out of bed, eyes half-lidded, only to find your favorite hoodie conspicuously absent from its hanger? A quick glance at your roommate’s outfit, and there it was, proudly adorning them, as if it had always belonged.
The classic response within those ivy-covered walls? A raised eyebrow, perhaps a silent internal monologue about personal space, followed by a shrug and a "looks good on you." Because what’s a little fashion foray between future leaders, right? It wasn't malice, usually. Just a desperate grab for comfort, or perhaps a fleeting moment of forgetting where one person’s closet ended and another’s began in the shared, compact space. These micro-invasions, whether of a vintage band tee or a perfectly worn-in pair of sweats, were the small, almost endearing tests of our early adult cohabitation skills.
They taught us patience, or at least the art of passive-aggressive textile retrieval. More importantly, these seemingly trivial acts were threads in the rich tapestry of dorm politics, shaping unspoken agreements and forging a unique bond that only those who've lived it truly understand. It's the messy, human side of an otherwise rigorous education. Did you ever 'loan' an item you didn’t know was gone until it reappeared clean? Share your stories below!
