Dorm Life Chronicles

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

Follow for more real talk about dorm life.

Remember those sacred few hours before the campus truly woke up? For many of us, that fragile serenity was routinely shattered, not by the birds or an early lecture, but by a symphony of digital beeps. We all had "that" roommate. The one whose phone would dutifully blare its urgent summons at six sharp, then again at six-oh-five, six-fifteen, six-thirty, and finally, a desperate last gasp at six-forty-five. Yet, through it all, a profound silence would emanate from their side of the room, punctuated only by your own groans of unwilling wakefulness as you wondered how humanly possible it was to sleep through such a relentless cacophony.

It wasn't just about the lost sleep; it was a quintessential part of the Ivy experience. The constant hustle, the late-night study sessions fueled by questionable coffee, the ambitious schedules that often pushed sleep to the very bottom of the priority list. This wasn't unique to your room; it was the universal language of dorm life chaos. From the shared fridge debates to the spontaneous midnight discussions that flowed from a single, forgotten cup of ramen, these were the unfiltered moments that shaped us. The exasperation, the amusement, the quiet understanding of shared struggle – it all wove into the vibrant fabric of our formative years. So, what was your most memorable roommate quirk? The stories are endless, and they’re all part of the unique bond we share.
