I live in a dorm and my ceiling lamp died, i wanted to know how to remove this cover? it is attached flush to the ceiling, i tried rotating it both ways and also tried pulling it, but it wont come off. I noticed that its feels a bit springy when I pull it, but I fear i will break it if i pull it too hard. can anyone help me??

    Doesn't your dorm have a maintenance team to take care of it?
