Shhhh... I'm sleeping!

It's my fourth year living in a dorm, and I'd like to think I do fairly well living with others. I'm currently living in the Kappa house, which is like a mini dorm with only members of Kappa Phi Delta sorority living there. We have established quiet hours, and generally, I have no issue obeying them. This morning, however, I forgot that those quiet hours extend into the morning... I decided to heat up my breakfast before work around 8:15am. No problem, right? Well, actually, using the microwave violates the quiet hours policy, and therefore, is not allowed until 9am. I was in the wrong; I think it's a dumb rule, but none the less, it's the rule. We also have a microwave on the first floor, so really it was just my laziness. As a result, I was met with great opposition for my forgetfulness by my previously sleeping floor-mate. It made for a rather upsetting start to the day as I don't wish to disturb those who I live with.

Even after four years, there are many challenges of living with others. However, the experience has really taught me how to handle conflict and how to compromise. Overall, I've enjoyed living in the dorms.

Uff da,

Waha
