My college doesn’t want us to make popcorn in their shitty microwaves
look I’ll be the first to agree colleges couldn’t possibly take more money from us without just making Faustian Bargains but if one more freshman trips a fire alarm at 1am and makes the whole building evacuate because they don’t know how to make popcorn I’m gonna fill the whole lobby with sand
Freshman who wants to make popcorn:
Senior who just wants to sleep:
i was claude frollo by the second week of freshman year when some kid didn’t know you had to put water in ramen and melted both the plastic bowl he’d put it in and charred whatever instant ramen noodles are made of
My (shared) room was right next to the kitchen and somehow within the first few days I gained the reputation of being able to fix or help with things. Not even sure why tbh, I think I just seemed kinda put together because I made cookies on the first day?? Anyway, long story short, I lived next to the kitchen and I saved us from at least 3 fire alarms due to:
Someone trying to make microwaved instant porridge but not putting in any milk or water (those fumes were bright yellow, alarming and smelled TERRIBLE)
Someone forgetting to remove any of the plastic from their pizza (not even while drunk, just incompetent)
Someone trying to make scrambled eggs. I’m not even sure HOW you make scrambled eggs quite that wrong, but I taught them my version after literally throwing out what amounted to charcoal…
