Ok, so I know as St. John's students we say this over and over, but the rules at St. Johns are just plain silly...and some of them are not fair. Right now, I don't even care about the visitor rule or any of those. I am referring to the one (if you dorm you will know) that is posted outside of our doors. It says something about if your roomates or suitemates are doing illegal things in your room, then you need to stop them because if they get caught, everyone gets in trouble....um, hello? That does not make any sense. First of all, I am not about to be a snitch and go tell my RA that my suitemates are doing illegal things. If its going to injury me in some way, then yes, I might tell her, but other than that, no. Especially considering they are my friends, why would I want to get them in trouble?
However, if they get caught doing something, shouldn't that be their problem? Lets be realistic here. If I went over to the other room and said "please don't do ---------," I highly doubt that would be effective. Following this I go tell my RA. Hm, when they get in trouble I wonder who they will blame for telling. Yeah, that would be me (speaking hypothetically). I just think it's really stupid then everyone in the suite would get a violation because ONE of the rooms isn't following the rules. How is this my problem? What ever happened to taking responsibility for yourself?
