4. Mom to eyesroll: "Why don't you move to the dorms next year?"
Eyesroll to mom: "Are you on crack?"

(I lived in dorms for 4 years as an undergrad. I'm 30 and I'm not doing that again.)

5. I remember those - great fun.
I especially liked watching as folk's other-halves silently slinked off into the night....

When I was in a hall at university a good friend and neighbour made sure to be on good terms with one of the sub-wardens so we always had advance warning of scheduled fire-drills. :D
