In college, because there's not enough housing for students, a third person is crammed into a room built for two: triple people in a double room. When the college resolves this problem, the room is detripled by having the third person move out. Usually, the person, who complains the most about this arrangement, moves into another room with a roommate or alone.
I can't wait for this room to be detripled, so I can stop living with these two stoners and room with my Republican buddy. I'm dorming with two people, who don't celebrate birthdays or holidays. When this room is detripled, I can move out of podrick land and into paradise.
