Ah, the quintessential Ivy League dorm experience. Beyond the late-night study sessions and the existential debates that stretched into the dawn, there was always that one constant: your roommate's perpetually-present "situationship." It wasn't quite a relationship, not just a casual fling, but this person had practically moved in, taking up valuable real estate in your already cramped room and even more space in your daily thoughts.
You’re buried deep in a problem set, trying to decode quantum physics, or finalizing that 20-page history paper that's due at 9 AM, and there they are, whispering sweet nothings, sharing an inside joke, or just... existing. The unspoken rules of dorm etiquette stretched to their breaking point. Do you pretend they aren't there? Do you make an overly loud show of packing your backpack for the library at 1 AM? The struggle was real, a silent battle for personal space and academic focus.
For those still navigating these hallowed halls, you know the silent language of frustration. For our esteemed alumni, it's a nostalgic, perhaps slightly cringeworthy, memory. Those tight quarters truly tested the limits of friendship, patience, and the definition of a "guest." We all learned a unique brand of diplomacy, didn't we? Or perhaps, the art of the well-timed "I'm just going to bed now" at 8 PM. It built character, they said.
What were your legendary tales of reclaiming your space?
