Goodbyes

The end of the school year is a few days away. I am not officially almost done my first year of college. Man it sucked. Didn't help that my floor was known as the only floor in residence (thats 3 buildings, 9 floors each, about 2500 people) as the destruction floor. My floor fines have totalled close to $3,000. Everything from broken windows (from fists) broken walls (drunk people) broken doors, etc. The most memorable moment was when we had visitors from the 5th floor of my building come down to my floor.

I walked into our common room to find them throwing a variety of candy and food into the corner, and getting it all on tape. They also had torn apart one common room chair and were shoving each other into the walls.

"What the fack do yeh think yer doing?" I said in my best don't-fuck-with-me-voice, Ilearned from my Da.

The girl holding the camera turned to me and laughed. "Um, destroying your common room? We thought you wouldn't mind with all your floor fines." The other people in the room turned to me. I stared at the girl until her smile fell off her face. She put down the camera and turned to me fully.

"Destroying our common room?" I said. "You want to fuck with us? You go ahead and throw smarties around the room. No, please, continue. Because whatever you do to our common room? We'll do 3-fold to yours. Go ahead and tear these chairs apart, because we'll be upstairs to yours tomorrow and have no qualms against blowing yours the fack up." I stared at her a little longer, and they started to fidget nervously. Our floor was known for destroying things without thinking of it, so I could see them turning over in their head what we could actually do if we put our minds to it. I left them with that and turned around and walked out.

I went to my RA's door. I explained the situation to him and told them what i'd said, he laughed, but decided to add his two cents to the common room. Now, if they thought a 5 ft little chick like me was scary, imagine a gay man on a rampage. He marched in there, or I should say shashayed, and smacked down a peice of paper and a pen. He crossed his arms and said "Alright, I want all your names, and your RA's names right now. Then I want you to clean this place up. And if its not spotless? You'll be hearing back from me. Oh, and don't worry about the chair, i'll transfer it to your floor fines." He then sashayed out of the room with their names. I had honestly never seen students so reluctant to be put in their place. They grumbled and cleaned the room, I gotta say it looked better than any cleaning job the cleaning ladies ever did.

And we haven't seen them since.
