First off, welcome to the forum and the wonderful world of snake keeping.
Secondly, I'm just going to be straight forward. You really need to read the basic husbandry 101 stickies and the stickies about how to set up an enclosure on this forum. It seems ypuve got a lot to.learn and your enclosure is lacking greatly.
The stickies will answer a lot of questions all in one convenient thread.
Not trying to 'ding' you, but as soon-to-be college grads you should know to do research before bringing an animal home. Had you done this, your enclosure would have been set up properly, there would be 2 proper hides (not 1/2 logs) etc...etc...etc...
Now, you've got a snake living in a stressed out situation using a water bowl as a hide and soaking because it's dehydrated.
Sorry If I came across harsh, but your snake deserves a proper enclosure.
Do some homework, read, study and learn about the species you brought home. The more you know about them the better you can provide for them.
Learning how to properly set up an enclosure would have taken just a few hours and should have been done before bringing the animal home
