Life in a hostel

An insider's perspective on hostel life and why its fun in the small ways that only hostel life can be:

1) You can talk to someone while taking a shower. Believe me its fun. That is on the rare occasions that you do take one actually. Which is a huge advantage in itself and should have been covered in a different point.

2) Had a bad day? The prof wants to see you for having not submitted an assignment in a course you never knew you had registered for? Your friend borrowed the most expensive books on your library card and cant find them? No problem. Catch hold of a random guy. Instigate people against him and treat him to the holy grail of hostel rituals...bumps.Never was a better way discovered to relieve your pains. Just pass it on to somebody.

3) Hungry at 3 in the morning? Feeling lazy too? And the wallet is empty? Just go to the next room and pick up stuff. Oh and in case nothings there in the next room you have 16 other rooms to try. Like they should say..'The hostel never sleeps'.

4) The proverbial 'Fart sessions'. Not to be taken literally. Whether it is talking about 18th Century German Philosophy or the perpetual human stupidity, its all covered in here. And if someones talking borders on being soporific, just give the royal treatment.Bump him.

5) For all the obvious disadavantages of having 300 guys staying in a building, you always have the company for a coffee and the fart sessions. Which is the best part of it all.
