"Would you mind if I put some snacks in there?"
There was certainly an advantage to rooming with me in college.

And it certainly wasn't the fact that, at the time, I didn't drink alcohol and found the activity a bit repulsive... yet, I belonged to a sorority. (Irony!)
Nope - I was in demand because I had the elusive mini-fridge. The house, where I lived during my sophomore and junior years of college, didn't have air conditioning anywhere but first floor. And guess where all of the bedrooms where? Yep. Trying to fall asleep when it's 97 degrees out (and in!) is "fun".
You can see where I'm going with this - insulin has to be kept cool, plus I needed stuff like juice around. And so, I became the only person in the sorority house to be allowed a mini-fridge, probably ever - which became very convenient storage for non-medical essentials, like cheese and diet soda.
Not a bad perk.
Cute story. And I totally remember Manic Panic. Though I didn't know sororities were into that kind of stuff! Roselady, Diapeepees
ReplyDeleteRose - not sororities in general; just me! Black sheep, I was. :)
ReplyDeleteVery cool topic Kim! Thanks for sharing with us. Just posted mine, but it was really hard to think of a perk with D. I love that you got a mini fridge out of D! That's a must have at college!!! :)
ReplyDeleteWhen I was a kid, I got extra snacks so that my blood sugar would not drop. As an adult, my bosses could not deny me breaks because my blood sugar would drop and I would mess up simple tasks (i.e. counting money). It only took once to learn that regular breaks were necessary for me.
ReplyDeleteI once went to 90's night (Ace of base covers! woot woot)You got $5 off the cover if you dressed in 90's gear. I didn't dress up...but when I bolused, the light on my pump turned on. The host thought it was a pager and I got a free drink! ;) ;)
