2005 Miracle Yearbook

II • • • Residential life 'n the women's dorms this year involved late night studying in dim lighting out of con deration for the sleeping roommate,talks and laughter over Little Casesar's $5 Hot-N- eadys,and many random and spontaneous happenings. "We had fun in th bathrooms,dumping cold water on each other in the shower, curling iron duels, an tupid face contests in front of the mirrors," Deborah Birch, of Maddox,said. A heavy rainfall in Au st brought Maddox girls down to the courtyard to play. "The downpour was so int se that I didn't really care if the beach ball volleyball game that had been schedules or that day wascancelled.A bunch ofthe girlsfrom the unit went out and played in i. First we screamed because we got completely soaked in a matter of seconds, s t after a while it was great and refreshing. Genevieve Drews and I started doin ballet leaps across the courtyard. Good times," said Sarah Henslin. After coming back from Christmas bre Birch's unit had a fashion show at a unit meeting."It was funny to watch the s try so hard to be poised and smooth.There were some pretty crazy costumes,anb e ended up having a mini dance party. We ate exotic foods and hung around talk' for hours afterward," Birch said. There was also a deeper, more Christ-centered side to dorm Ir " special part of our weekly unit meetings wasto gather around one specific girl each and pray for her and for any specific requests she had. Then her roommate would share verses that she thought encompassed the personality of her roommate," explained Jennifer Dixon. Through tears,chocolate,all sorts of weather and all sorts of discussions,living on campus allowed women to form friendships in a completely different setting than past or future experiences would provide. Freshman unitmates Christie Howard,Angela Bacon,Lauren Yoder, Elizabeth Conkling and sophomore unitmate Aleithia Burgess have become quite close living in the tight , quarters at Printy. Lauren claimed,"Getting to know the girls in my hall has been a blast!" Sophomore Elisabeth Congdon enjoys life in Printy, even if that means just lounging on her bed reading and listening to music.
