Manehattan University: A Short Story

One thing students lose when they decide to dorm is privacy. They have to share a bedroom, bathroom, and living space with other students. Some students have no experience sharing a room with another human being, and the transition can be frustrating at times. Studying is difficult

"I don't know, we'll have to see what my mom says. She doesn't know you well, I don't either, but I feel like I can trust you."

A dormitory may consists of two to three other individuals in a room whereas if a person works, attends college lectures, or even a college football games they would have communicated with more than three people apart from their roommates in daily life. For example, students might need to talk to each of their professor (who are all different ) regarding class work or course materials, converse with other students while preparing a group presentation, or debate with students during a class discussion who all have opposing viewpoints on certain subject.

and it closed softly behind me, the blades snick-ing back into their places and the alarm re-engaging behind my back.

“Will you at least let me see her one more time?” I asked hoping he would say yes.

“And I think you’ll find I have a month until this injection kills me and I intend to save the last part of the story for last. Who knows, maybe my entire life will interest you.” I shrug.

As the man scanned the living room, no doubt taking in the chaotic consequences of her frenzied search for a lost treasure, the giggle in Penelope disintegrated. Refusing to crumble along with it, she forced a deep breath and braced with both hands on her hips.

Oh, the rights of fall! Summer is retreating, migratory birds start to flock, the first crops are harvested, and (add dramatic music here) it's time for kids to go to the many colleges and universities around the country. Dorms will soon be filled, and decorating themes of all types will sprout from the various rooms. Lecture halls, laboratories, libraries, and gymnasiums are important structures to any facility of higher learning, but one type of building stands alone as the bastion of student interest: The Dorm.
