<p>Ah the wonders of writing whiny complaining letters to bureaucrats, I was originally assigned to Bowles.</p>

25

<p>@Leftist...</p>

<p>wow, so Bowles had massive rooms with 4 guys sleeping in it? How was it for people with different schedules and sleeping patterns? Bowles seems like an interesting place, and although I'm fairly happy with Unit 2 double (wanted Unit 1), I almost almost almost wish I looked more into Clark Kerr or Bowles</p>

<p>You make people with Unit 2 triples cry. I would do anything for your double. :(</p>

27

<p>if it helps, try to look on the bright side and tell yourself that your saving $2000 by bunking in a triple in the units:P</p>

<p>and you meet more people! (well i suppose you can do that either way but still! haha.)</p>

<p>Back in my day, a club was used to settle disputes. But then again, in my day we drew cave paintings on the dorm walls and wrote our papers on stone tablets.</p>

30

<p>Running leap onto the one you want the most.
Lay on bed, clutching for dear life while closing your eyes really tight and yelling "MINEMINEMINEMINEMINE!!!!"</p>

31

<p>Leftist do you know if we each get our own closets at Bowles?</p>

32

<p>Seriously though, you walking in and claiming your first picks is a dick move.
Living with other people is all about compromise and communication. Start
off the semester with a passive-aggressive maneuver like this, and it'll be a
LONG fall for you, kiddo.</p>

34

<p>haha sorry whosthat, i didn't mean to sound ungrateful for my fortune in getting a double! i'm pretty happy. just learning more about other living situations is all :)</p>

35

<p>dude my roommate ripped me off bad. i got a triple, and supposedly we were suppose to "decide" when we all get there. so tell me why, when i did, all her crap was already on the bed i wanted. wtheck?! then she also stole my ladder! she got everything she wanted and stuck me and my other roomate with lame beds, desks and closets. (i got one with a broken door) she got the add on closet)</p>

<p>ughh.</p>

36

<p>Well, obviously, she needs to be punished. muhahaha</p>

<p>But yeah, I'm glad I'm not in a triple because it seems so much more complicated. :o</p>

37

<p>she does need to be punished. this year will be hell for her -_-</p>

<p>triples are so much more complicated =&lt;/p>

38

<p>If someone pulled that with me -- I would just put all their stuff outside the room and be like: "PWN3D!"</p>
