Beginning Paper 1

My subculture has a lot of different and fun rituals/daily things we do.
  • We try and get as many girls from the floor to go eat dinner together at the same time.
  • We all keep our doors open and flow through the halls to chit chat with each other.
  • Sometimes we play games in the study lounge if we are bored on a random Wednesday night.
  • On the bulletin board on our floor we write embarrassing secrets,stories, or some goals and ambitions about ourselves and each other.

Some insider phrases are:

  • "Not that hole."
  • "Unatractiphobia"
  • "There's a recall on what?!"

I think a few key informants would be my roommate Kesha, and my neighbors Amy,Leah, and Beka. My roommate Kesha would be a great source because she lives with me first off, and secondly she thinks about things in a completely different way than I do. My neighbors would also be good because they get a different look at the "hall life" than my roommate and I do.

  1. I like how you and the girls on your floor do these things and interact with people. I am friends with people on my floor and that is about all we do. There are meetings and floor events and things but noone ever goes to them. I like your subculture and I cannot wait to hear more about it.

  2. The girls in my hall do the same thing. I've been on a few floors where most of the girls keep their door closed and dont socialze that much.
