Dorm Life Quotes

“It was more when things slowed down, during the parts when you were supposed to have fun, that my lack of friends felt obvious- on Saturday nights, when there dances I didn't go to, and during visitation... I spent those times hiding. Most of the other girls propped open their doors for visitation, but we kept ours shut.”
― Curtis Sittenfeld, Prep

“And Meryl Lee thought, I wonder how this happens. You live side by side for a while, and suddenly you realize you like living side by side, and you can’t imagine not living side by side because you’ve become friends. And then your friends become friends with one another, and they sit beside one another and cry. How does that happen?
But isn’t it good that it does?”
― Gary D. Schmidt, Just Like That
