The passive-aggressive Post-it war on the mini fridge.
THE PASSIVE-AGGRESSIVE POST-IT WAR ON THE MINI FRIDGE.
Follow for more chronicles from the hallowed halls of academia.
Ah, the mini fridge. That compact bastion of culinary independence, simultaneously a symbol of freedom and the epicenter of countless roommate skirmishes. Before you even stepped foot on campus, you envisioned intellectual debates, late-night study sessions, and profound revelations. What you probably didn’t anticipate was the escalating Cold War waged via brightly colored Post-it notes over a missing yogurt or a suspiciously empty carton of oat milk.
Remember those meticulously labelled shelves? "MY Almond Milk - DO NOT TOUCH." Then, the inevitable counter-note: "Pretty sure this was communal. Check the grocery list." It started innocently, a gentle reminder. But soon, the font size grew, the exclamation points multiplied, and the passive aggression reached its peak with the infamous "Thought we were friends?" note taped to a half-eaten sandwich. The absurdity of highly intelligent minds, destined to shape the future, dedicating precious brainpower to refrigerator diplomacy was truly a sight to behold.
Yet, beneath the layers of petty grievances and thinly veiled accusations, these were the moments that truly defined dorm life. They taught us the delicate art of negotiation, the importance of clear communication (or the hilarious failure thereof), and the unexpected resilience required to share a confined space with someone whose understanding of "personal property" differed wildly from your own. We may have emerged from these battles with slightly less almond milk, but definitely with more stories. And perhaps, a newfound appreciation for personal fridges.
