PrintDear Brooke,
My dorm, Carman, is so awesome. It’s like having a 24-hour after-prom, but you don’t have to worry about cleaning up Smirnoff Ice puke ’cause we have a cleaning service! The cinderblock walls may be ugly, but I got these wonderful, sassy Audrey Hepburn posters that totally flaunt my individuality. The guys next door are such rebels, they used nails to hang this bad-ass “Pulp Fiction” poster even though it’s against housing rules, OMG. BTdubs my RA is the best. He not only lets me drink, he brings pre-made mixed drinks to my room! Living with a roommate isn’t all that bad. She’s staying with her BF from high school doing the long-distance thing, and I actually got “sexiled” twice! And one time the RA was super nice and let me stay with him.
People might talk shit about dorm food, but I luv John Jay. Unlimited soft-serve and cupcakes biatch! Plus I hear they put laxatives in everything, which means I don’t have to worry about that freshman 15. There is also this great restaurant called Koronets. I heard good things about New York pizza but WOW. So this is what they meant by great cuisine!
The social life here is amazing too. Thanks to Facebook, I already had tons of friends before I got here. I can’t believe there are so many people who share my interests: hanging out with friends, chillin’, and listening to music. Carmen 6 for life y’all! I feel like my floormates really “get” me, unlike those anti-social weirdos who live in John Jay. I think some of us are going to organize a group to go down to Times Square on a Friday night to get a real taste of what NYC has to offer.
I haven’t even started classes and I already know I’m going to love college. Keep you updated girrrrl!
Luv,
Ashley
