I'm nowhere near one and I don't have a car or the money to take a bus. Or the money to pay for the services either, really.
Make friends with an upperclassman?? ;-)
I'll bet it's because you're leaving it on your bed and the blankets aren't allowing proper circulation for the laptop cooling fans, causing it to overheat. Keep it on the cooling pad on a hard surface. If you don't have a desk, you could get one of those laptop stands or bean bag desk things to sit it on also, just as long as there is plenty of room unblocked on all sides to allow air circulation.
