One has not experienced the true hellish potential of dormlife until one has spent the night before two final exams chasing a four-foot long ball python with a syringe hanging out of its abdomen around a dorm room. Charlie was not amused. Neither was I. After 12 more shots, hundreds of dollars on vet bills and many subway trips to the vet hospital with a snake poking around my backpack, Charlie passed away.
