There are some great things about road trips.
Seeing new sights:
Bonding over ice cream sandwiches with new friends:
Going cruising with old friends:
But for every up, there must be a down.
For example, sleeping five to a dorm room:
Or worse, being forced to sleep in the closet while everyone else lives it up in the “main room”:
Or even worse, going to the Museum of Science only to discover that you are at the very bottom of the growth chart (in blue and red):
But, perhaps all that is not nearly as bad as discovering that you, in fact, are not even on the growth chart:
Luckily, the only apparent solution is to eat more ice cream sandwiches.
Here’s to being back on the ups.
May the fun never stop, Robbi! A couple of years ago when I was in Paris with long-time friends, we went on a road trip to England where we met up with their grown-up kids and, again, like when the kids were wee, we all shared the same room … like we used to share cabins on boats, kept up half the night by drinking and/or giggling decades ago. We did it again. May we always and may you always!
That’s Williams – love of community!
As I know the campus has a lot of dorm rooms tagged “single” occupancy, what building were you in?
What a lot of fun…
Onward to Providence and ICON-
Here’s to all “Ups”!
Jenifer – I’m used to playing sardines. Matthew, on the other hand, needs plenty of room for his 7 pillows. We’ll teach him, soon enough!
Admirer – first off, I like your name. In response to your question: we were in Morgan. Our room was on the first floor towards the science quad, and long and skinny. I lived in Morgan before it was renovated (and when it was still a freshman dorm) as a JA, so had imagined our room would be a single off of a spacious common room. Silly me!
