How To Get Into College - Monday - Period Three
When the students came into the classroom today they would see Marshall at his desk, looking into a hand mirror. He was stroking his newly-grown goatee approvingly. This had been a good idea. He looked pretty dashing with facial hair. Way better than Ted, anyway. When it looked like everybody had come in, Marshall put down the mirror and started his lesson.
“Alright, you kids picked your college and applied. Congrats! You all got in. We’re going to skip past the orientation and picking your classes and moving on to dorm life. Lucky for me you guys live in dorms and know most of this already. I won’t bother going into detail about getting along with your roommate since most of you guys already know how to do that. But I will be giving you some do’s and don’ts for living in dorms and give you a brief overview of people you will see in your dorms.”
Marshall started distributing a handout to the class. “This handout has a list of do’s and don’ts regarding dorm life. Learn them well. If you have any questions about them, feel free to ask.”
“Okay, moving on. Every dorm at every school is different and will have different people there. There’s cool kids, stupid kids, kids who smell, kids who try to sneak their pet snake in, all sorts of kids. Everybody has a past and most everybody wants to change from the kid they were in high school. What I’m trying to say is that you’re going to be living with a bunch of weird-ass liars. I can’t even tell you about the different kinds of kids that will be there. But I can tell you about a few.”
Marshall dimmed the lights and started up a powerpoint presentation on his computer.
Person #1: The RA
[Picture Not Found]
“Much like body snatchers, the RA is a very mysterious person that could look like anybody. The RA is older than you and is still living in the dorms. Why, you ask? Well, either they are broke and need a place to stay or they went through a hopeless loser stage and are desperately trying to become cool by hanging out with the freshman who don’t know the ropes yet. They will often try to get you to go out and be social when all you want to do is sleep. But since they are older, they often can get you beer. A very helpful ally and yet, a very deadly enemy. They have the power to get you kicked out of the dorms. Always be wary of the RA.”
Person #2: The “damn the man” guy
“This guy is away from home for the first time and is enjoying the feel of being away from his tightly-wound parents. He wears a lot of hemp, listens to a lot of Eric Clapton and wears those glasses for show. He also talks a lot about “the man” and how society is all screwed up but never actually goes into specifics because he has no idea what he’s talking about. At first the dude seems kind of annoying but once you get to know ‘em they can be awesome. Or maybe I just got lucky.”
Person #3: The cute artsy girl
“Isn’t she adorable? If you can your hands on this one, guys, don’t let go. She loves poetry, art and marij - -sandwiches. She likes to go on long walks and burps a lot and loves to snuggle…she’s perfect. And don’t let those innocent looks fool you. She can be really naughty when she wants to be. This is the type of girl you want to marry, trust me.”
Person #4: The dorm slut
“She’s always asking if you want to go on a study-date, she’s always walking around in a towel and smells a lot like the inside of a Victoria’s Secret. She’ll be the one trying to unlock your door at 3 am because she’s too drunk to find her own room. While sleeping with her is tempting, you’ll most likely catch a disease. So be careful before engaging.”
“Also, um, Ms. Scherbatsky is not a dorm slut. I just ran out of pictures to use.”
Person #5: FBLAer’s
“Okay, these guys all won’t be future business leaders of America but they are the current crop of future lawyers, doctors and computer nerds. They have a heavy work load and will spend their senior year desperately trying to get into grad school. But don’t count them off as losers, oh no. They know how to party hard. They just don’t do it when there’s a test the next day. Unless something really, really cool is going on. Like licking the Liberty Bell. I’m still pissed I didn’t get to do that.”
Marshall turned the lights back on. “Now while I said I wasn’t going to detail about dealing with your roommate, I would still like to see how you handle yourself when a situation arises between roommates. So I’m going to pair you all up and give you a scenario and have you guys resolve it. Now keep in mind that you both think you’re right. The winner of the argument has power over the room until the next one comes up. It’s just how it goes.”
[OCD is up!]

Marshall might’ve found himself in this situation a couple of times in college with Ted and Lily. The top bunk was hard to get to, dammit.
