That is the wisdom that my RA gave me my freshman year, and it has proven to be quite true. The thing that sucks is that there is always going to be people that are less than interested in the quality of the hall.
Let me start by saying that my room looks like a war zone, more correctly, my half of the room looks like a war zone, but I am always very aware of the mess I make outside of my room. There are 19 women on this hall, 2 bathroom stalls that work consistently, two shower stalls that actually work, and 7 sinks. More recently, some of the women have been doing their dishes and just left a ton of crap behind in the sink.
Please for the love of the God that I think most of us might serve at the school, learn how to clean up after yourself in the shared spaces. By all means, trash your room, but keep our space, ours.
