Hume West First Floor Far Side

Hume West First Floor Far Side is part of Hume Hall, the honors residential college at the University of Florida, and was the site of an extensive list of shenanigans in the 2018-2019 school year.

## Description

Following the standard layout of other Hume Hall floors, Hume West First Floor Far Side consisted of 16 double room suites, 2 single room suites, a common room, and a kitchen.

The common room had 2 round tables, a square table (deceased), 2 coffee tables, 10 chairs (variable), two couches, and several large chairs. The furniture arrangement was constantly subject to change. On the northern wall was the community bulletin board. A wall-mounted TV with an attached Marik was also present. On the southern wall was a fire extinguisher, a collection of crudely drawn Pokemon on Post-Its, and a framed drawing of a cross. The eastern wall had several windows, and on the windowsill were various air plants and cacti. Two AC units flanked the windows, and nearby was a forgotten dresser.

The kitchen contained an electric range with a broken hood, a microwave, a sink, and several cabinets. The sink and surrounding countertops were often hidden by either dirty or unclaimed dishes. This space doubled as Po's office.

By the end of the year, a bible came to hide in the ceiling panels nearest the kitchen. It is unknown whether this bible remained there when the residents moved out.

## Shenanigans

 Arts and Crafts | Ground floor residents complained about Po's secret signal, wondering if he was doing arts and crafts.

## General, Shorter Shenanigans

* Meme Wall - Various residents, notably Marielle, Christoyam, and Adrianna, drew an assortment of memes all over the air conditioning units in the common room. Many of the memes were related to the Arctic Common Room Shenanigan. Since some memes were left un-erased for months, removing them all during move-out proved to be a major hassle.
* Arctic Common Room - Po enjoyed setting the common room temperature well below the maximum coldness allowed by the AC units, much to the displeasure of everyone else in the vicinity.
* NIHOHOEGBROD - For the Spring 2019 semester, Joey employed a Mr. Roger's theme for the floor. His stylistic arrangement of the word "Neighborhood" on the common room bulletin board became a subject of ridicule.
* Jaeson and Alan's Boba Trips - Po kept a tally of e and Idiot's weekly boba trips on the left-side air conditioning unit in the common room. It was written in purple marker. The record was 5.
* Holy Water Sprinkling - Po enjoyed splashing holy water on people and doors on a regular basis.
* Water Spraying - Po would often water both the air and water plants on the windowsill, as well as many other things/people in the common area.
* Seasoning - Po found a bottle of sprinkles at some point that he used to "season" his fellow floormates. He would also season the plants to make sure they were fed.
* Breaking and Entering - Po and Christoyam were fond of breaking into both each other's rooms and other people's rooms. They were particularly successful at breaking into each other's rooms because their keys worked in each other's doors, though Misha was unaware of this.
* Kinetic Sand - After being gifted a Kinetic Sand set for Secret Snowflake by Naomi, Po played with sand that was left in the common room. He took bites of it from time to time. Other people on the floor would also play with it to pass the time. By the time of its disposal, it had housed sprinkles, raisins, and quarters.
* Door Harassment - In addition to attempting to break in through doors and spraying/sprinkling doors with water/holy water, Po and Christoyam would often bang on doors and leave, insert their keys into the lock and then leave, or mess with the handle and leave. Po also liked to bang forcefully on the wall separating his hallway and Furong and Furong's room to annoy them.
* Heath Bars - At some point, one of the residents came into possession of several Heath Bars, which were then hidden in various locations like thermostats and soil.
* Air Strikes - Whenever Marik would speak on the phone in Russian, Po and Christoyam would run to take cover in the kitchen, where they locked the door and closed the fire shield. They did this out of concern that Marik was telling his Babushka to send in an air strike.
* Covert Activities - Po and Christoyam would often take part in [REDACTED].
* Physical Assault - Po enjoyed physically assaulting other people on the floor, often pushing them into doors or hitting them with crosses.
