<p>You’re proving my point. No matter where you live, many of your closest friends will come from your living group. And in many ways, your friends shape your experiences - you end up joining the clubs that they join, going to the places where they go, and eventually to some extent acting the way they act. They transfer the personality of the living group to you through everyday interactions. You adapt to your living group’s personality not only by accepting it but by growing into it. The ways in which I’m growing into my floor are very different from the ways in which I would have grown into some other dorm. In some sense, when you choose a place to live, you’re choosing who you want to be at the end of your time there. </p>
<p>At least that’s how I see it from my limited frosh perspective . . . others should tell me to stop talking if I’m making no sense.</p>
