On Room 2072

Yo, new kid on the block!

As I am just about to leave the room tonight I thought I’d fill you in on some stuff about this shoebox you're inheriting.

I mean apart from the tiny-ass cupboard crammed for two, you have an amazing room (almost), with a GREAT castle like view and DIRECT SUN. Oh man, you’ll so become a slut for sunshine when you come to edi. Just place two cushion near the spot near the windows and throw in some hot chocolate, put on some Chopin in the background and grab a book. It’s pure bliss.

Speaking of roommates, you migh have one who talks a lot, which tbh you might initially find a bit annoying but you’ll grow to like it. And in the end even miss that blabbering idiot. You couldn’t have asked for a better roomie. (Pro tip - Just have proper communication e.g. “I’ll be back late today at 4am piss drunk, and having found out rum+beer+left-over-wine is a bad combo”) (and be accommodating too when like he forgets his room key the third time in a day inside the room)

Now let me tell you, you’re gonna meet a ton of cool friend here. Do lots of cool shit and have so many stories (Pro tip - The best stories you’ll tell in the future ALWAYS happen after 2 pm) (welcome to the life of a terrible circadian rhythm) You’re gonna make a ton of friend. Some really really good friends, your crew, people, who will really stick around with you through the thick and thin. You might also loose and fall out of touch with some people too. It's alright.

You’re also gonna have a lot of fuck ups, there are gonna be some bad BAD days in this room, there are gonna be days which you’ll spend flopping around your bed like a giant walrus all day, days where you return from the library at 8 am in the morning, only to realise that you left one of your cards there. But there are also gonna be soo many great days too. Just stick around for a bit, they’re just on the corner. You can’t see it yet but they’re always almost just there...

Oh and you might even have a meetcute with this really cute girl that you would meet at a supermarket three weeks JUST BEFORE YOU LEAVE  (because your love life is just that tragically comical). She was pretty, looked no older than me and was overly nice (was she just being friendly...? idk. maybe she was just Canadian and being polite). It was the cliché of bumping into a girl and picking up her books, but in this case, it was a basket of groceries. And while you chatted about books and stuff while giving her a hand home, she even gave you her no. BUT BEING THE IDIOT YOU ARE, YOU'LL NEVER ACTUALLY CALL HER. Smooth move. You stupid stupid idiot.

With all that said, just don’t be room hermit tho. Get out. Maybe the study space on the LG floor or the Micro lab (the best seats are the quiet space there). Generally, hang outside... maybe you’re gonna meet some cool people, find yourself being in an awkward place when at 4am some weird-borderline-sex sounds coming from 2 rows behind you in the basically empty micro lab, or the time you got locked out of the study space at 5 in the morning, or the time you find yourself eating someone’s left over pringles (hey don’t judge... it was 5am and I was hungry)

But yeah, you’re gonna have all that and much more! Enjoy an amazing year ahead, it’s gonna be one hell of a ride.

P.S. - Ask for an extra chair when you come in
P.S.S. - Get a table fan! Ngl It really makes a difference.
