Lmaoooo. This is so funny now that it's in the past. I can imagine the fear and the regret of not sticking to what worked for you guys in that moment. So sorry, dear.

I juggled night classes and also used the reading room when I stayed in the hostel because we did have one, and both options worked for me, safe or unsafe. I also had two room mates who read in the room and that also worked for them. Honestly, the key is finding what works and sticking with it.
