DORM HEATING THAT ONLY WORKS WHEN IT’S WARM OUTSIDE.
Follow for more candid tales from the hallowed halls!
Ah, the quintessential Ivy League dorm experience. We pursued academic excellence, debated global issues until dawn, and somehow, we all shared a peculiar, unwritten code about battling the elements within our own four walls. Remember those crisp autumn evenings, the kind that promised a true Northeastern chill? You'd turn up the dial on your radiator, only to be met with a silent, stony indifference. The heat, it seemed, was on a strict "fair weather only" policy, kicking in with gusto precisely when you least needed it, on those random warm days in February.
It wasn't just a quirk; it was a character-building exercise, a badge of honor. We huddled under every available blanket, brewed endless cups of tea, and mastered the art of layering, even indoors. The drafty windows, the unexpected mouse sightings, the shared bathrooms that felt more like communal ice baths in winter – these weren't flaws, they were features, forging bonds and endless stories. We complained, yes, but there was an underlying current of shared resilience, a silent understanding that these extreme dorm conditions were just another rite of passage. They taught us resourcefulness, humor, and perhaps, a deeper appreciation for a truly warm room once we finally graduated. These memories, however uncomfortable at the time, are now part of the fabric of our journey, a testament to what we endured and how much we grew.
