As much as I enjoyed the space from the campus over the last week, I can't say I'm sorry to be back. Apparently, it was Jade's turn to host the bi-weekly Game of Thrones drinking game, so I came home to some messy drunk co-eds in my dorm room and it felt so entirely normal that I was finally able to exhale a sigh of relief. At least until the laughing ensued.
The beds were pushed together and they had a projector aimed at the wall, which included the doorway I had just entered through. The loud peals of laughter that met me gave me the impression that much imbibing had occurred.
"God, you guys, the room smells like a winery!"
"You know nothing, Jon Snow!" Jade burst enthusiastically before all three of them dissolved into one single puddle of drunk co-ed as they cackled. White wine spilled over the lips of half-filled wine glasses onto the duvets.
"You - you have to drink for unnecessary quoting, Jade! That's a rule!"
