The Do's & Don'ts Of Living In Taylor Place

Some are common sense, others may surprise you.

Hey guys!

For this week's article, I wanted to focus on what it's like to live in Taylor Place, the dorms on ASU's Downtown Phoenix campus, and to give you a few basic ideas of the rules you should follow here.

Do: Feel free to use the lounges on the floor you live in/visit other lounges.

It's a great way to get out of the dorm for a bit and to meet other people!

Don't: Talk loudly in the lounge after quiet hours start.

Other people live here and have their own busy schedules that are most likely different than yours, so it's best to be respectful and to keep things quiet once quiet hours start.

Do: Feel free to use the elevators to go in between floors.

It's a big building, so it's okay to use the elevators.

Don't: Press every single button in the elevator.

There are flights of stairs that connect two floors to each other. For example, I live on the 12th floor, and there are stairs that connect the 12th and 14th floors. So, if someone as already pressed the button going to the 14th floor, I shouldn't also push the button for the 12th floor.

Do: Have fun watching the TV in the lounges.

It's fun to watch a mindless TV show while you're doing homework, the news, a movie after a long day, or even a weekend sports game!

Don't: Get territorial over the TV if someone wants to change the channel.

Remember - you're living in a building that houses 1,100 other people, so sharing resources has to happen.

Do: Have fun living on your floor.

In Taylor Place, the floors are paired by which school you attend, so it's a fun way to be around the people you're going to be seeing the most often over the next four years!

Don't: Make fun of other floors.

It's okay to have pride in your school and the floor you live on, but picking on other floors is unnecessary. Honestly, just don't do it, it's dumb.

Do: Keep in mind that the fire alarm sounds like a WW2 bomb siren.

It caught me and a lot of other people really off guard as to what was going on.

Don't: Be like me and freak out thinking that the end of the world was upon us.

True story, and admittedly not my best move.

27 Things 'The Office' Has Taught Us

"The Office" is a mockumentary based on everyday office life featuring love triangles, silly pranks and everything in between. It can get pretty crazy for just an average day at the office.

When you were little, your parents probably told you television makes your brain rot so you wouldn't watch it for twelve straight hours. However, I feel we can learn some pretty valuable stuff from television shows. "The Office," while a comedy, has some pretty teachable moments thrown in there. You may not know how to react in a situation where a co-worker does something crazy (like put your office supplies in jello) but thanks to "The Office," now you'll have an idea how to behave ifsomething like that should happen.

Here are just a few of the things that religious Office watchers can expect to learn.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

Books were always about understanding for me, about learning the way someone else sees, about connection.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

I keep making this joke whenever the idea of books is brought up: "God, I wish I knew how to read." It runs parallel to another stupid phrase, as I watch my friends struggle through their calculus classes late at night in our floor lounge: "I hope this is the year that I learn to count." They're both truly idiotic expressions, but, when I consider the former, I sometimes wonder if there's some truth to it.
