Do you hate your room? Do you really hate your room? We’re not just talking mild loathing, here—we want to know if you thoroughly, unequivocally hate your room.

To my new roommate: I really thought I knew what rock bottom felt like after 20 minutes of shaking my ass on a 60 year old for entry to a club violating NYC’s health code and a free shot of fireball, but you opened my eyes. After that night on my 14th birthday, I decided […]
