I really like this book for a lot of reasons. For one thing, it makes me think about my own freshman year, and a lot of what she describes is the same as when I was in college. I laughed out loud the first time I read about the door decorated like a package, because the RA in my dorm did the same thing. (Actually, it was my sophomore year when I had a female RA. My freshman year I had a male RA and he didn't wrap his door...!)
The point about conformity in non-conformity is something that I think a lot of Americans struggle with. We strive to be individuals, but there are definitely limits on what we count as individual and quirky and what we consider strange or out there.
More later.
