The issue currently is that Brown has a 3-year residency requirement, but not enough housing to make that happen. They want only seniors living off campus but have to allow juniors to get out as well. We had a little crisis last year when too many seniors opted to live on campus and they had to give last-minute permission to more juniors to even it out.

But they’re about to finish the second and third of 3 new dorm buildings this fall, hoping to push the number of juniors off-campus down even further. Along with that, they say(probably take this with a grain of salt) that there is no plan to admit more students per year in the foreseeable future.

Ugh yeah.

Maybe I'm getting old but man it's annoying. I used to have a loud stereo system in my first car when I was a teenager, but I'd only really crank it up on the highway.

Now the other day I was at BJ's gas filling up and some dude was blasting music at the gas pump. Like, why? Can you literally not go 5 minutes without everyone in a 300' radius being able to hear your music?

And this wasn't even a kid, it was a grown-ass man in a late-model pickup (with a flatbed trailer).

My brother literally did this in college in his bathtub in an off-campus apt in Boston.

All I remember about the "gin" was that it was orange and had sliced rounds of oranges floating in it. And that it was potent.

The drawback to bathtub gin becomes: where do you bathe? 😆
