i’m 10/10 convinced adam parrish is in matthews or thayer.

there’s no way he’s in a union by the books’ description. he’s not in mass or lionel or mower. those are fake dorms (jk love them but he’s not there). weld and grays aren’t giving the right vibe. there’s no way adam is in canaday and managed to get his therefore many roomates out for the night. wigg also doesn’t really fit the description, it’s too tucked away. hollis/stoughton room set up doenst work at all for that night ronan stays over. staus feels too out of the way. holworthy room set up with shared bathroom and too many roommates and detached basement doesn’t work at all.

thayer room set up doesn’t really fit since it’s mostly two rooms too but none of them do and vibes kinda fit?? i think they were playing cards in the downstairs common room and thayer has a nice one. location also fits from what i remember.

matthews fits the vibe then most and the room set up kinda works in terms of sizing and number of roommates. also the fact of having to take the stairs is yep. but the common room isn’t great

ok so this is part 0, all dorm memory analysis part 1, the thayer analysis part 2, the weld analysis

It’s not going to be what you imagined, but it’ll be just as good.

It might be different but that doesn’t need to be a bad thing.

it’s funny, i think. the whole idea of adam parrish transferring from harvard.

well no.

let me say what i actually mean.

what i mean is: it’s funny, everyone’s reaction to adam. their reaction to adam’s disinterest in harvard. harvard not truest as a safety option but harvard as anything but his dream school. their reaction to his devastation at having to attend harvard and not another school.

it’s hilarious.

or maybe it’s just where i can stand on the issue now. i would have been bitter before. i would have despised him.

but it’s funny once you see that choice made in real life. when you make that choice, when you go to Harvard (capital H for the dream of it all) and you talk to people and you find out that they didn’t want it either. No, that’s not right. They wanted it but they wanted something else more. They wanted something better. And so did you.

i was devastated, i think. to hear of adam’s transfer. we all despise it here but, see, when you believed you were adam and he did not make it, you need to learn to live without him.

i am not adam parrish. adam parrish is a fictional character from which i draw strength and inspiration. i can take what i will from him and leave the rest because he is a fictional character and i am real and i am me.

so college is awful and we all dream of leaving and we each wished to be elsewhere.

but it’s okay and we can live here still.
