<p>i love my roomate, but she's starting to annoy me. i already mentioned the things she does when im sleeping in the "roomate problem" thread. but also, she's just not leaving me alone really. in the first month of school she was pretty much a social butterfly (coming in at 4 in the morning, never really being in the room), but now she's ALWAYS there, either sleeping, or playing computer games/imming. she never leaves to go to the library, because she doesnt really have work to do (she's a music major not taking a full courseload so she pretty much does nothing).
she always wants to eat dinner with me (which is convenient sometimes when my friends aren't available), but its always..what if i want to eat with other frickin people? sometimes i tend to be "out of it" lol, but she always brings this up, over and over again--and im just like "*** already. ok im confused, we all get it.". she needs to get out more and make more friends, or at least just leave the room sometimes and give me some space.</p>
<p>I have the same problem...since you really can't force her out of the room, you could find out her class schedule and plan to have your alone time when she is in class. That's what I've been doing, and it's worked so far.</p>
<p>i have more classes than she does, and her classes take pace and end while im still in class. but then i get back, and guess who's there? ugh. i think i'll start spending more time in the library now...</p>
<p>I have a friend whose roommate never ever leaves the room. Basically, she just does work/hangs out in our room or other friends' rooms. If you don't want to eat dinner with her, just don't be in your room around dinner time. It's inconvenient, but after a while, she'll probably annoy you less and you'll be able to spend more time in your room.</p>
<p>This is why you get an apartment if possible. ;)</p>
<p>Ah I love privacy (when I need it).</p>
<p>Mine never leaves the room and it is EXTREMELY annoying. I purchased good speakers before coming here and now they are a waste because I can't use them. My friends suggest that I use them to annoy him back. The only way I have found to drive him out is to play video games while he is studying... Ahh I love messing with him...</p>
<p>My roomate doesnt leave the room either, but I really have no problem with it.</p>
<p>He is really quite and all he does is play video games/study. I feel bad for him, but it doesnt annoy me in the slightest.</p>
<p>Try having your roommate in the room with her boyfriend who never seems to leave when you come back from a full day or meeting and you just want total privacy.</p>
<p>Or one who has her boyfriend over until 3 freaking am when you have a midterm the next morning.</p>
<p>Although the people above me like to have little hanky panky sessions during the night so I just blast my music up to drown out the sound.</p>
<p>Well no one beats my sad roommates. One farts everyday because he loves beans, and the other is always on the guitar or computing on AIM- he has no interest in making new friends.</p>
<p>ewy ewy ewy so sorry about that. really not fun.</p>
<p>I don't try to make friends with my roommate anymore... we just coexist. One of them completely gets on my nerves. He'd never make conversations with us but make a complete 180 degree difference when a high school friend visits him. NO ONE understands the situation I'm going through. *&$%#$@#$ $^#$</p>
<p>Our son had a college roommate his freshman year who lived within 30 min. of the college and had a car. When our son arrived, from 1000 + miles away, his roommate had already claimed 80%+ of "their" room to his full advantage. Finally, recommended our son seek advice of RA who divided the room so our son would get his share. Rented those "bed frame lifts" to get more space. </p>
<p>Roommate was ALWAYS there, playing computer games, etc. - rarely left. Would OCCASIONALLY go home for weekend and return with homemade brownies, etc. but never offer any - however, one one occasion, placed goodie plate in plain view. Our son almost left this college because of roommate situation - so annoying - always in room. No other roommates available. Freshman year is tough. Wish colleges tried to match roommates by personality, traits (night owl, neat freak, etc.) or activities (likes sports, perfers to play computer games, etc.).</p>
<p>Happy ending, though, this year - sophomore year. Our son met another guy in same dorm and they decided to rent an apt. off campus this year. His former roommate packed out at end of year without saying good luck or anything. Learned he is still living on campus - in a dorm - single room - which he should have gone for initially.</p>
<p>Hang in there. Try to change roommates if you can - wish our son could have done this. Good luck</p>
<p>I'm really happy bc my roommate has now gotten herself into a pseudo-relationship and occasionaly sleeps over his room (like 4 X/week) and I get the room to myself and I can sleep in peace...she's really nice though so we get along well in general, just have different sleeping schedules</p>
<p>Psuedo-relationship?</p>
<p>As in like a fake relationship? lol.</p>
<p>My roommate is in a pseudo-relationship too! She refuses to call the guy her boyfriend because she insists that she's single. However, she does not want to hook up with anyone else, would be extremely upset if he did, and even took him home to meet her family. Somehow, this is not a "relationship."</p>
<p>That's really weird. You sleep with someone yet you don't want to claim them as your boyfriend/girlfriend?</p>
<p>i know a few girls/guys who do this. it's weird because they pretty much are everything pertaining to a girlfriend/boyfriend relationship, but without the actual title.</p>
<p>Friends with benefits.....that is the current term. F Buddies is another one.</p>
