  2. Make out with everyone on Prospect Avenue who has a runny nose and gives verbal consent.
  3. Cuddle with your roommate.
  4. Violently cough in their face and touch every surface in your dorm, claiming you’re “fine,” and “definitely don't have COVID-19.”
  5. Don’t test for COVID-19, saying “it’s totally optional.”
  6. When your roommate gets sick, gaslight them into thinking they caught the Princeton Plague.
  7. Deny everything.
  8. Force your roommate to isolate in a partially deconstructed broom closet in First College.
