It's 3:30AM right now, and I'm still awake.
If I was living in the dorms, I would have probably been in bed by 12:00-1:00. I could have gotten 8 hours of sleep easily.
The only reason I'm still awake now is because I went downstairs to talk to one of my fraternity brothers about a social event going on tomorrow evening involving ice cream and females (simultaneously!). I didn't get upstairs until 2 and a half hours later because I got caught up in talking with my brothers about random crap while watching the show Homewreckers, featuring the crazy pranks of some guy from Jackass.
I finally managed to tear myself from the hilarity, only to get caught up in a discussion about girls with two other guys at the bottom of the stairwell. Eventually, the conversation degenerated into a discussion of what crazy movies we were going to watch this weekend. (The Japanese zombie movie "Wild Zero" is the headliner.)
Holy crap – if I lived in the dorms, I doubt I'd have more than one or two friends. My roommate would probably be the only person I knew well. And, there would be an automatic 50% chance that the person assigned to be my roommate would grate on my nerves horribly, making my life that much suckier.
I can't help but pity those dormies. I'd guess that only 10% of the campus is actively social – and I'd say half of those people are members of the greek system (7% of those on campus are in a greek house). Crazy.

I may end up in the dungeons… er, I mean dorms this fall.
It'll be interesting to see how it all turns out.

Joshua Dean,
What happened to your language since you left home?? Those words are bad, in case you didn't know. You don't have to copy everything your brothers say!!
Mom
