It’s kind of funny when I look back on it now, but it wasn’t so funny back then.
I’m talking about when I first went to college.
I decided to go to the dorms at the college instead of being roommates with some other friends of mine. It turned out that was not the greatest decision I ever made. I actually thought the dorms would be so much cheaper. Of course, they were cheaper but it was also a very uncomfortable experience. The guy who was my roommate was a nice guy and all, but he had a serious flatulence problem. I was always terrified when I would see him eating tacos or something with a lot of cheese in it. Those were the worst nights as it was difficult to sleep with those smells. Eventually I went to the store to see if I could find some kind of quality air purification system. I ended up finding a portable air purifier that claimed to take care of odors, even the worst kinds. I was a little bit skeptical because my roommate had some killer flatulence, but that air purifier worked better than I expected. Even my roommate was happy about the air purifier because it improved the air quality a great deal. We weren’t able to adjust the temperature control settings, but at least we were able to improve the air quality. It also helped me sleep better because I didn’t smell so many foul odors, and the white noise it made helped me sleep easy through the nights.
