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

Follow us for more classic dorm chronicles!

You remember it, don’t you? That jarring, cacophonous symphony of beeps, buzzes, and increasingly frantic melodies assaulting your ears precisely at 6:00 AM. One alarm. Two. Then three, four, and a grand finale fifth, each one more insistent than the last, promising an early start to a day packed with lectures, labs, and library sessions. You’d lie there, eyes squeezed shut, willing the noise to cease, mentally counting down until the 6:05 AM snooze cycle kicked in, only for the entire auditory assault to begin anew.

The cruelest irony? After all that sonic warfare, after your brain had been forcibly yanked from its fleeting slumber, the architect of this morning chaos would still be utterly, blissfully, and infuriatingly asleep. Deeply. Sometimes until 8:30 AM, or worse, until a desperate 9:00 AM dash for that 9:05 AM section. You, meanwhile, were wide awake, wired, and probably already halfway through your first cup of coffee, having silently cursed the universe and your roommate's dedication to oversleeping.

It wasn't just a minor annoyance; it was a character-building exercise in patience and sleep deprivation. It was a shared experience, a silent nod between everyone who’d ever lived through dorm life in a demanding academic environment. Those mornings became legendary, a part of your collective narrative. The early alarm ritual, the futile attempt to wake up on time, the shared struggle against the relentless academic pace. It built character, certainly, and provided endless material for late-night commiseration. What was your most unforgettable alarm clock saga?
