Dorm days

I lived in the dorms at Ohio State for one school year. I lived in the dorms with my cousin, Fresh. He was concerned that he wouldn't know anyone up there, so we signed a paper and got the dorm rooming people to put us together. This kind of screwed our other two roommates. LeFever was likely matched up with me based on my rooming survey answers. Thom was likely matched up with Fresh based on his answers. I got along with all of them, but Thom was a city boy and didn't much care for any of LeFever personality. LeFever ended up going home and studying every weekend. He was a little more motivated than the rest of us and wanted to be a veterinarian. So I perceived any disgruntledness to really be mine and Fresh's fault. If we hadn't decided to become roommates, we would have been matched up with a roomful of people who fit our personalities a little better.

At any rate, I alluded to a problem a couple of posts ago and here is where I am going to talk about it. Fresh started college as a freshman with a girlfriend who was a college junior. By the end of the fall quarter, he had broken up with her for good. By the end of the winter quarter he was heavily drinking whiskey every night. He finally decided that the hangovers weren't worth the effort, but wanted some escape from reality. He tried weed and that was what he wanted. The hangover wasn't there, and he felt better about his lot in life at that point. By the time the next fall came around, Fresh, Thom, and me had moved into an off campus house with Zito, he was smoking everyday. Zito also became a smoking buddy. I went to brazil for a study abroad winter quarter. That spring Fresh decided that he was going to grow his own stock. So by the end of the spring quarter, the whole house smelled like that and I couldn't wait to get out. I was 21 by the start of that school year, so I didn't need another vice beside alcohol at any time.

By the time my senior year came around, I knew I didn't really want to live with that group of guys. Fresh failed out of OSU and moved to cincy to try and get a degree. I student taught that fall and didn't need a place in columbus. Winter quarter I lived with nasamatt, vegasbob, and scatterbrain. One of their roommates was interning in NYC somewhere. Spring quarter I lived in an apartment at lane and high with a friend. Then my 2nd senior year I lived with nasamatt and scatterbrain in a house on northwood.
