<p>Does the top bed have one of those wooden things on the side so you don't roll off and die?</p>
<p>Hahahaha. You mean a railing? No, there's no railing... or ladder! My roomie and I had bunk beds in HoJo last year. We thought it would look cuter. But my bed (top bunk) was SO HIGH off the ground. It was on the top rung. Luckily, I'm not very tall, so I didn't hit my head on the ceiling. I tucked my sheet in on the side of the bed facing the rest of the room to avoid rolling off and dying. LOL.</p>
<p>^^^^lmao!!</p>
<p>dang, how do you get on the top bunk then. </p>
<p>I would take the bottom bunk, but I have a strange fear of the top bunk collapsing and crushing me. I wish we had more room</p>
<p>^Watch Stepbrothers, there's actually a scene of that happening. Haha.</p>
<p>You climb up the side, lol (the head boards/lofting have "planks" you can use like a ladder). I have no arm strength, so until I got better, I just used a stepping stool, stood on the edge of my desk, took a step on one of the planks, and kind of "hopped" on. I got good at it eventually! I never had a problem with rolling off the side, lol, and even if you do, you won't kill yourself. I did fall off the end of the bed while I was trying to get off (still groggy I guess). I slipped right into the garbage can and a pile of magazines. Hurrrrrt like heck, but all I got were some scratches on my heel. It's really not bad, seriously. </p>
<p>I bet my roommate was glad we didn't have bunk beds though. My loft WAS falling apart--the planks on the headboard were all wonky and disconnected. I had to get a whole new set of lofting materials to fix it</p>
<p>i hatedddd having a lofted bed
i slept on my futon pretty frequently, sometimes because i fell asleep on it studying and sometimes because i didn't wanna hazard the climb..it's definitely dangerous to attempt to climb up so close to the ceiling after a night of mind-altering partying haha</p>
<p>hopefully this year my bed can be grounded..</p>
<p>Leah- I'm also hoping for a grounded bed this year... haha. I got so sick of climbing up and down every night!</p>
<p>Oh, and if you're worried about the top bunk somehow collapsing... make sure the bigger person sleeps on the bottom! LMAO. ; )</p>
<p>Oh my God I'm so sick of dorm life and I'm only a sophomore.</p>
