With graduation approaching, I've occasionally caught myself daydreaming about post-dorm life. It'll be nice to have a real mattress and a little more space, you know? Oh, and you know what else will be pretty cool? Living in a building with fire alarms that aren't constantly freaking out at 4 o'clock in the morning.
I know "what's the deal with Columbia's fire alarms" is our local version of "what's the deal with airplane food," but the darned things got me a record three times this week, and so they've been on my mind. So I did what anybody would do. I made a flowchart about what to do if you hear one.
