Last year during midterms the fire alarm went off at 1-something am literally like half an hour after I got to bed. And the fire alarms in the dorms were shrieking loud that it hurt my ears so badly I wanted to run out of the building just to get away from the sound. So it's almost 2am and everyone in the building is outside on the grass waiting to be told we can go back to bed. We're all tired but making new friends at least. Finally at like 2:30/3ish they say we can go back and I realize "shoot!" I forgot my room key in my room and my roommate wasnt there! So I have to go to the main building to get a spare that "has to be back in 15 min". 15 min!? I just want to go back to sleep! So I go all the way to my building, up to my dorm, get my key, and walk all the way back to give back the spare, walk back to my dorm, and finally get back to sleep around 3:30am. Yea... 5:45am the fire alarm goes off again. If people werent asleep the first time, they sure were by now. You've never before seen so many pissed college students on a lawn together before. Everyone there (me included) was ready to strangle whoever made this happen. BC there was no fire! Yea... luckily this time I'd brought my key. Around 6:30ish or so we're let back in and we all go back to sleep... although it's hard when you're afraid the alarm is just going to go off again. That was quite a miserable night.
Yea, once it was caused by a hotplate or something and I dont know what caused the other. We were never told. Probably bc we'd lynch the person who woke us all up. And some people had midterms!
