Noise complaint
So I used to go to tumblr when I felt sad, something I haven’t felt in a long time. I’ve been doing, eating and learning a lot. All things very different from when I was here before. The feeling is still the same though. I had a conversation with a dorm friend when I was getting some food. He said he got mail about a noise complaint in the building and that everyone would be fined if the person responsible kept being noisy. I knew immediately it was me since I just started streaming and make a lot of noise doing it. I told him it was me making the noise and said I would try to be quiet. He just laughed, he didn’t believe it was me. I told him about the streaming and again said I would be quiet. He just looked at me for a bit, then said I can be loud until ten. I told him I would just keep quiet all the time, that I didn’t want to disturb. I said that it’s all about respect and he just shrugged. I thought I acted like I should have and thinking about it now, an hour later, I’m sure I did. I still feel really bad though. Everyone else here is in the same situation as me. Just trying to study and live their lives. I know I’m making this a bigger issue for myself than it has to be, but disturbing is the last thing I want to do. I’ve been thinking for about a week now that I’ll probably get kicked out for being noisy. Getting confronted was hard for me because I had to be honest with him, myself, and ultimately the rest of my dorm friends. It feels better now though. I did the right thing and I learned something important that I only thought I knew.
Be honest. With yourself and the people around you. Accept mistakes. You’re only human. Don’t get hung up on your mistakes and let them pass but realise that they are mistakes, and that it’s okay.
TL;DR: Be honest.
I don’t know if I’ll get much sleep tonight so if anyone sees this and wants to send me a message I would greatly appreciate it.
thanks - kim
