It’s a give and take world, Tiffany. The dorm seems to be okay, but the dorm room doesn’t. It takes some getting used to, but I don’t think I could ever like Tiffany’s situation.
The disappointments with life in a quad dorm are piling up. Yet other aspects of life among the other Hall A denizens are appealing and enriching. Somewhere she is approaching critical mass. Which way will this go? Will she work to improve her quad life? Or will she seek other digs?
I would think that a quad dorm room would have a shared central bathroom with, perhaps, two shower and two commode stalls. But then. my experience is with male dorms.
Better hose down that shower stall, Tiff – there might be some slippery stuff in the bottom left from the previous occupants. Thankfully, just in case, you are wearing that yellow helmet…
The second panel makes it look like Tiffany is disappointed to find that there is no tub in the Quad. But why should she be surprised? IIn her first year she started out living in some kind of single apartment, but it came with (only) a shower, Tiffany was satisfied with that back them, Latter she shared a room with Stef where the bathroom was down the hall and and those were only showers. And she has been in the quad at least for more than one night so she should have been aware that the quad does not come with a shower. So why was Tiffany expecting a bathtub? Maybe she was making a compare and contrast with living at home but GnK did not make that reference at all.
Taking a shower is also nice. Sure, you can’t lie down for hours in a bubble bath, but the feeling of warm water falling on you is really good. You also waste less water. Fortunately, the last to use the shower seems to have been Dez. She has definitely cleaned after use it. Stefi probably doesn’t do it.
Tiff needs to go back to her mansion by herself! She can always come back for excitement on campus but have her quiet and luxury accommodations! Won’t happen bec this story arc goes poof and up and way.
Vote! 1. Tiff go home, by herself2. Tiff will bring the gang to her place.3. Tiff stays in apt4. Who cares? ;-))
As far as dormitory bathrooms go, that is par for the course with 2 bedroom suites or apartments for 4 students. It is a heckuva lot better than the old communal bathrooms with several toilet and shower stalls for 30 to 40 students which, while they were cleaned daily on weekdays by university staff, could get real nasty on the weekends depending on who lived on the floor, particularly the male floors where one could find trash, vomit, beers cans, and pizza boxes all over the place and perhaps even a passed out student in one of the toilet or shower stalls.
The ladies look like they have been keeping their shower stall pretty clean. Chances are they get custodial help with this but not daily, this was one of the staff cutbacks that happened when the old communal baths disappeared; no more weekday cleanings Monday to Friday. I know my daughter’s 4 person, 2 bedroom apartment at FSU used to have weekly cleaning but this semester it was trimmed back to a cleaning once every 2 weeks due to staffing shortages (no one wants to clean toilets for $12/hour with minimal benefits) so the ladies have to do some of the cleaning themselves though FSU Housing promises that this will change in the spring as they are hiring new staff at $16/hour with expanded benefits (I think better health care and 3 weeks vacation, some sick time and day care privileges). This exact scenario is true at the local USF dorms here in Tampa as well. Its tough to get these custodial positions filled unless you offer decent coin.
Anyhow, a bit of advice to Tiff: wear flip flops in the shower unless you just cleaned it yourself.
I am proudly from Alabama. And not that it is anyone’s business but my home is large and likely worth much more than yours. We’ve traveled widely in the US and sadly seen poverty everywhere. No need to make fun of a particular state anymore.
This isn’t quite the plan I thought Tiffany had in mine when I made my comment yesterday. She’s going to have to come up with something, though, or that toady little skank in the cheer leader get up will continue to use her for a door mat for as long as she wants.
I think she’s unhappy with her dorm life and will probably soon be heading back home. It’s a shame it was so bad for her. I hope she will still visit often. Dorm living can be an adjustment! Of course I, coming from a small trailer with zero privacy and space, was THRILLED to only be sharing a bathroom with only three other girls. I LOVED my dorm space!!!!
It’s just now dawning on Tiff that she WON’T have all the “rich girl” amenities of home at the quad???
“Earth to Starship Tiffany,” indeed!
Now if you ask him real nice (And NOT slam the door in in face this time), I’m sure “Oxsie-Woxie,” will get you a U-Haul truck and help you move back to the Mansion, Tiff.
Just tell everybody you had to go back home because your pop had “medical issues.”
“Let’s see… a luxurious hot tub at my dad’s mansion, or stay here with my towel that has Kip’s semen and Stef’s love juice on it. Decisions, decisions!”
“Can’t buy me love” lyrics are floating in my head for Tif….the poor girl is overdue for a little joy in her life, huh? She’s always on the outside, looking in.
