13 Times Your Dorm Fire Alarm Will Inevitably Go Off
NBC Universal

For anyone who has lived in a dorm setting, we all know that fire alarms are commonplace. At some point or another, there will be an annoying moment or two... or 30. We've probably all debated whether or not to stay in the dorms when we're almost positive that it's just a drill.

Here are 13 times that a fire alarm will go off.

1. You're showering

Have fun going outside when you still have suds in your hair.

2. You've just gotten into bed

While you might want to just stay in bed, you probably shouldn't.

3. You're trying to study

You're probably pretending to study while staring at your phone, but if you're actually studying, it's even more annoying.

4. You just sat down

It's like the alarms know.

5. It's snowing/freezing outside

I don't even have to explain why this is a horrible time for a fire drill.

6. Multiple times in a row

After one goes off, there should not be another for at least another week.

7. In the bathroom

Still pretty sure that the alarms know.

8. Just got back from a break

You're trying to move all of your stuff back into your dorm, and someone sets off the alarms.

9. You're Netflix-binging

While you can pause your show, it's not the same.

10. Your phone is on the charger

Have fun standing outside without your phone. It's probably going to be a long drill.

11. You have a face mask on/makeup half taken off

I don't even know how to help you here.

12. Something burnt while cooking

And now everyone is mad at you. Good job.

13. Popcorn burnt

As a subset off of 12, sometimes popcorn burns and sets off fire alarms. People are still mad at you though. Good job.

I'm serious

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.

I'm an anthropology major, and I love every minute of it. I couldn't tell you why, but I guess there's just something about studying different lifestyles that absolutely fascinates me. But anthropology majors definitely have our weird sides, especially when you go to a school that is filled with mostly Business and Bio majors. But us weirdos definitely have a lot in common, specifically these 16 things.

Everyone has insecurities, that's just a fact. You didn't ask to be born this way. You didn't ask to inherit the one trait no one else in your family has. And you definitely didn't ask to be this ghostly white. But as soon as you've learned to live with it for a while (less wrinkles later on in life, right? right???) someone has to ruin it for you. They have to flaunt they're perfectly tanned body from Spring Break and hold their sun-kissed skin against yours. But I've had enough... here are the things that perpetually pale individuals are tired of hearing.

Being a music major is not all kicks and giggles. In fact, there are days when I question my sanity and doubt myself as a musician. I know I am not the only one going through the struggle, and so here are 13 GIFs that I know my fellow music majors can relate to...
