Knowing how college housing works both from when I was in college, and my daughter, usually Freshman are placed into the dorms. In fact, upperclassmen usually can't get dorm placement and have to go offcampus by their Senior year because they tend to reserve the dorms for Freshmen and Sophmores and maybe Transfer students.

Checkbooks, landlines, TV Guides....

It really drives home the sad, awful truth that KS's future died with her. Her memory is locked in another era. Frozen in time.

It's all just so deeply unfair.

Hey, I still have a checkbook and a landline. And I can probably find a copy of TV Guide that I saved some historical ones...
