ROOMMATE SETS 5 ALARMS AT 6 A.M. AND STILL OVERSLEEPS.

The incessant blare of five distinct alarms, each promising a rude awakening at 6 AM. Yet, somehow, the profound silence that follows is even more infuriating, signaling another successful oversleep. We’ve all been there, haven't we? That particular brand of dorm room chaos, a quintessential rite of passage for anyone who’s navigated the hallowed halls of a top-tier institution. It wasn't just about losing precious sleep before a demanding seminar or a critical problem set due. It was the existential dread of realizing your roommate, a truly brilliant mind, somehow couldn’t conquer the simple task of waking up.
This isn’t merely a tale of a loud alarm and a heavy sleeper. It’s a microcosm of the unique pressures and absurdities of our undergraduate lives. We chased academic excellence, debated global economics until 3 AM, fueled ourselves with questionable coffee and even more questionable instant ramen. Our dorm rooms, often tiny and certainly not luxurious, were crucibles of intense intellectual curiosity and profound social development. They were where we first grappled with true independence, learned to compromise, and sometimes, learned to sleep through anything.
The roommate who set five alarms and still missed their morning class? They’re etched into our collective memory, a symbol of the shared struggle, the endless late nights, the challenging early mornings, and the sheer audacity of trying to balance it all. These aren't just funny anecdotes; they are vital chapters in our Dorm Life Chronicles, from dealing with unwelcome furry visitors to those intense midnight debates that shaped our worldview. These were the moments that tested our patience but also forged unbreakable bonds. Alumni, you know exactly what I mean. Current students, you're living it. What's your alarm story?
