<p>“Believe it or not, many people actually today live without a/c and survive. The odds are fairly good that you’ll make it … and maybe you’ll learn that your creature comforts at home aren’t as necessary as you make them sound.”</p>
<p>Excuse me, I just got back from orientation, where I stayed on the 13th floor of Rich Hall. The ground floor stays at the temperature that it is outside, while the top gets to about 20F hotter. I left a digital watch in my room for the day and came back to see a temperature reading of… 100 degrees. Have you ever tried sleeping in a room that was that warm? The ventilation is so bad that the temperature hardly drops five degrees at night. After my first night, which entailed gallons of sweat and absolutely no sleep, I was so dehydrated that I spent ~10 minutes dry heaving over one of the toilets in the men’s room.</p>
<p>Anyways, the point is, give up the holier than thou attitude if you don’t have any idea what you’re talking about.</p>
