Earlier this week, Ole Miss freshmen Lindy Goodson and Abbey Bozeman went viral after sharing pictures of their dorm room on campus. While the two's dorm is perhaps a bit over the top and about as #OleMissShit as you may find on the internet, Slate bit back with real teeth, going so far as to call the decor "offensive." Word?
Still, though, Goodson and Bozeman -- and, we suppose, Slate -- prompted an interesting conversation Wednesday afternoon concerning the most memorable feats of dorm life in University, Miss. Your responses consistently bordered on the unsanitary, the drunken, and the savage. In short, freshman year of college dorm life.
Red Cup's star tweeter, The Ghost of Jay Cutler, was kind enough to retweet your tales of life away from home, cooped up with hundreds of other 18 and 19 year olds with too much time and not enough dedication to homework. These are their stories.
My favorite part about living in Stockard Hall during my freshman year was when someone left a beheaded snake on the bathroom floor.

@redcuprebellion My least favorite part of living in Martin Hall was when the Stockard guys pulled the fire alarm fifteen times in one year.

(To this day, I have no idea what this guy's real name is. If you're out there and reading this, Nebraska, drop me a line.)
@RedCupRebellion Watching a guy head butt a water fountain off the wall & flooding part of a floor in Kincannon was a highlight of mine.

@RedCupRebellion we had a window facing Martin. The roof of that middle building caught at least 2 tower fans from us.

@RedCupRebellion Stockard roommate shat on a pitch black elevator after I knocked out the light with a hammer. Simple, yet effective.

@RedCupRebellion once, my underwear-clad roommate put on a hunting boot, stomped a rat in the hallway to death, and went back to sleep.
