December 17, 2004 - Last day in the dorm before going home for winter break.

My first semester in college was done. The refrigerator was unplugged and defrosted. I wasn’t moving out, but I’d be gone for a few weeks.

I suppose some kids would show off how cool or hardcore they were by piling up empty beer cans or liquor bottles in their rooms. Me? I stacked up all my empty Diet Pepsi cans in the window.

That’s the kind of hardcore college life I was living.

It’s 2016 now, and the memory hole is back. Maybe.

How many rooms are there per floor in the freshman towers?

I think there’s 10 rooms per floor? 2 people per room.

Is the lokelani building similar to the mokihana? And is it community bathrooms/showers?

All the aloha towers are the same layout! And yes, you’re sharing 4 bathrooms/showers with the whole floor

Is gateway better than the freshman towers?

Personally, yes I think so. There isn't as much drawer space and the walls are concrete so you have to tape EVERYTHING however I'm very persnickety about my bathroom (like no puke on the floor or food in the sink thank you very much) so I love it a whole heck of a lot more than Hale Aloha Towers. I also am rooming with 3 of my best friends and we all have similar neatness standards, so that helps. I don't know how it would turn out if you don't know your roommate/suitemates, but I think you can make it work if you sit down and honestly talk about your roommate/suitemate agreement together
