Sometimes it seems entitled and wasteful -ridiculous, over the top weddings, etc. But sometimes I think hey, why not?! Just because our parents never would have provided anything more than basic....

I...I am a frequent reader and graduate of Ole Miss. I know one of the girls tangentially (I go to church with her aunt and uncle). This is a recent phenomenon. Most of the roommates are "pre-existing" friends and plan their decor together. They are provided with a desk, bed, and dresser. A desk chair used to be provided, but I'm not sure if it still is in every dorm. Those who are "randomly" assigned still get their assignment 3 months before school begins. Some of these are passed down from year to year to other sets of roommates or are sold. Many of these students are affluent, and some hire design companies to decorate. It's not shocking to locals, but it is sort of mind-blowing to compare to my freshman year there 13 years ago (decorated with carpet remnant on the floor, futon from Walmart, and posters bought outside the student union the first week of class).Lauranoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4912713243046142041.post-15266512013584639642016-08-24T07:47:02.388-05:002016-08-24T07:47:02.388-05:00The Gaja Priya post is spam.
