...guess I should finish with a brief synopsis of the stuff in my room. I have three bed spreads (w/curtains)--Pooh and Tigger playing in the leaves for autumn, Pooh sledding through snowflakes for winter, and Pooh and piglet surrounded by a sunshine and clouds for spring and summer. It's a nice way of bringing the outdoors inside my room. My walls are covered with Winnie the Pooh stick-ups, which are a really nice way of brightening up all the white space.

Only my "-ism" wouldn't be a hoax. It wouldn't involve hate. I wouldn't even need for anyone else to believe in it. It would just be something...
...beginning, all rooms are created equal: three pieces of standard-issue furniture and a wad of poster gum. But some students turn their cubes into castles with a special flair. They go beyond postering with the Table of Elements and I Believe in Me banners, seeking to escape from a mundane, one-size-fits-all lifestyle. They submerge themselves in make-believe fantasylands. They create their own waterfalls...
