As I sit in my dorm room trying to study I am met with many distractions and delays stopping me from doing my work…. sounds everywhere. Some from the street, some from the dorm but it doesn't matter where they are coming from, it is loud, and I am now procrastinating. I get up and decide to make myself a hot chocolate. I turned on my Keurig, simultaneously hearing a thud come from above me. I zoned out as I wondered what it could be. Did somebody fall out of bed, had something fallen over, did the tension between two roommates finally snap?  I was brought back to reality as the coffee maker screeched signaling that it was ready. I sat back down as a waterfall of my chocolaty drink flowed into the cup. In that moment, I realized I had to pee. I exited my room, the door accidentally slamming behind me. Walking through the echoing stairwell I heard unrecognizable voices that sounded more like spirits trying to communicate with me. Creepy. Sounds of running showers filled the air as the bathrooms approached… wow, I really have to pee. I walked from the stall, the door creaking behind me.  I turned on the sink just to have to it turned off shorty after. The sinks are so annoying. Timed so they only stay on for seconds until you press down on the knob again, like a garden hose with kinks that causes the water to shoot sporadically as you try to straighten it out. I proceeded down to the stairwell hearing my footsteps behind me… really creepy. After walking back to my room, I opened the door and was instantly hit with a cold breeze, my teeth chattering like a timer in response. I opened my closet, its signature squeak lingering as I picked out a sweater. I sit back down to start typing. I was finally starting, my name promptly at the top. I began collecting my thoughts when an overwhelming amount of music played from the lounge. The lounge being on just the other side of my wall, it was as if I was front row at a concert. The sounds radiating through my space as the vibrations played through my ears. The springs bulged and shook irritatingly in my ears as I climbed on my bed and banged on the wall, trying to signal for them to turn it down. I waited only a moment before my response came in the form of three more knocks, as if they knew Morse code, the music staying consistent. I banged twice more, trying to overpower their sing-along with my thuds that sounded more like a giant jumping off his bean stock. The wall shook as my point was taken and the music faded. I felt accomplished forcefully jumping off my bed. I landed with the sounds of splashing as if I had just jumped into a pool. However, I looked over to see that it was none other than my hot chocolate that had sat forgotten in my coffee maker just moments before. Damn. I stepped around the puddle of chocolate to reach for my paper towels sitting atop my closet. I grasped for the roll stubbing my toe in the process. Today was not my day. After I mopped up the mess, I began the process of making the hot cocoa again; the familiar screeching filled the air as I sat once again trying to focus on my homework. The sounds of waterfalls entered my unconscious as my mind wandered, my thoughts slipping away as I fell asleep on my keyboard.
