Recently at Fairfield University, members of the classes of 2017 and 2018 received their housing lottery numbers for next year. While many were happy with their number, others were left feeling frustrated with their fate from the housing lottery, myself included. To lighten the mood for all of us who were out of luck with the housing lottery, Chandler Bing from "Friends" can explain very well how we all felt during the process!
The idea of having a townhouse is so exciting! It is what we have all been looking forward to since our days of knocking and being asked, "Who do you know here?"

We won't even have to worry about getting a good number... it has to work out for us!
And then you begin to hear horror stories of people getting bad numbers, but remember that probably won't happen to you
And then the e-mail finally comes out with lottery numbers
And you're scrolling through to find your group's number
And you see... 179/192
Then you see everyone else who is ahead of you in the lottery
Oh, but then you get another e-mail that you can't go to Pick Night!
And all of your friends start to talk about how they got the worst number ever, when in reality, yours is worse
You and your roommates begin to imagine your life living in a cardboard box in the middle of the Townhouses
And that you'll never be able to see any of your other friends again
Now everyone's talking about the possible situations for next year
And then you remember there's nothing you can do about it because it's a random lottery
