In college, fire alarms ad fire drills are never planned. It does not matter what your doing or what time it is, a fire alarm could always go off. Finals tomorrow and need a lot of sleep? Fire Alarm goes off at 3 am. Showering? Fire Alarm goes off. On your friends floor with no shoes and its snowing outside? Fire Alarm goes off. Enough examples? I hope so because it always happen when you never expect it. Always Have ShoesSpeaking from personal experience, always have shoes. Just a few days ago, while Ellie, Meredith, and I were hanging out in Ethan's floor lobby, the fire alarm started to go off. So that you understand, I never wear shoes when we are going to visit Ethan because he literally lives the floor below us. I never have to leave the building to get to the floor and I don't need shoes. As soon as the alarm went off, I realized "oh shit, we have to evacuate. oh shit, i have no shoes." I had to go outside in my socks. There was no way I could get my show from Room 125 in time to make it outside. Always wear shoes to where you are hanging out somewhere else because you never know when you will have to evacuate, but that does not mean you have to wear them the entire time. Take clothes with you into the ShowerThe most embarrassing thing is when the fire drill goes off and you are showering. At first you may not hear it, but when you do, you have to evaluate immediately. Wearing clothes or just a towel, your RA will force you to leave your dorm. Standing outside in a towel is embarrassing but your RA's aren't allowed for you to stay in case it isn't just a drill. The past fire alarm we had in our building, there was a total of 2 girls wearing towels. Don't be one of those girl, just keep clothes near the shower so you can quickly slip it on. Evacuate... Don't be that one person who doesn'tIf the fire alarm is going out, evacuate. Please don't be that person who refuses to leave because it's just a "drill" because the RA's will catch you and you will get in a lot of trouble. Just walk outside for the 15 minutes it takes for them to clear the building and then you are free to do whatever you want. Refusing to evacuate can get you in a lot of trouble and at our college, you can even be fined, so simply evacuate.
Hopeful these tips will help you during your college years and you will be prepared for a surprise fire drill. -Xoxo Piper
