A Cautionary Tale for Dorm Life

"The Girl Who Cried Engagement"

Once upon a time, there was a girl who screamed all the time in the hallways. One day, she passed an exam and started screaming and jumping up and down and squealing in the hallways, and everybody rushed out to see if she was engaged. But she wasn't. And then another day a song she liked was playing on her music list and she started squealing and jumping up and down with all her friends in the hallways, and everyone rushed out to see if she was engaged. But she wasn't. And then another day she discovered some other terribly exciting thing, and she started squealing and jumping up and down with all her friends in the hallways, and everyone rushed out to see if she was engaged. But she wasn't.

Ending I:
And then one day she got engaged and nobody cared.

Ending II:
And then one day her hair caught on fire and nobody could tell.

>>it's a college campus, but then again, it's not a dorming one, since that's not Israel culture,

So you live in a dorm, or you don't live in a dorm?

I live in a dorm, because I'm not from this country. But a very small percentage of the Israeli's do so, which means that the culture isn't so dorming. Plus, almost all of the students, including the Americans are older than American college students, so there's not that much of the dorming/partying culture anyway. Except that there are all these girls doing BIU instead of seminary or instead of Shana Bet, which introduces a squealy, girlish element into the dorming life.
