<p>Today is Aug 12th and I still haven’t moved in, but I’m rooming with an acquaintance from hs. I already kind of regret not being more adventurous and putting myself out there by doing a random assignment. Also, I recently found out that he’s very religious, and I’m atheist. Ugh. :/</p>
<p>What is this middle school? Why we saying “Dear Dairy”</p>
<p>Dear Awesome Dairy,</p>
<p>Date: August 12. My roommate is probably awesome. Having sharing interest through facebook prior to signing the contract we decided to room with each other. So far it’s like 3 days in and pretty much a relaxing atmosphere. The only issue is that we been place on different “teams” [I’m not going to get into that to long to explain] and haven’t really hung out yet.</p>
<p>I can’t believe I’m moving in next week! I have been looking forward to the day all summer but I’m starting to feel a bit nervous as I’m getting closer to the end of summer vacation. I sure will miss staying up late talking with my sister and then waking up at 5 in the afternoon (but it doesn’t matter 'cause I never have anywhere to go anyway). This is a life-changing journey I am about to embark on and it’s surreal to think about how, for practically my whole life, school has always been very much the same, but now I’m starting something different. I hope it will be full of wonderful experiences and something I will look back on as an amazing four years of my life.</p>
<p>It is near midnight and I’m just meeting my roommate for the first time. He literally just came in. I seriously do have a partier in my room. Anti social nerd with a super duper social frat kid, I so wonder how this will turn out lol. PS I was trying to sleep when he came in! Ugh lol</p>
<p>I don’t think my roommate has spent more than 10minutes in this room unless he is sleeping. He changes like 10 times a day and is always out. I see him around campus randomly, I don’t think I like his friends. I hope he doesn’t bring them over here. If you remember how we once had a conflict about printer and fridge, well he hasn’t brought either one. He hasn’t even really unpacked. His clothes are all over his side of the bed. I can’t tell what is clean and what is dirty. There is underwear everywhere. He puts his tooth bursh on his desk and there is what I think is a lightly brown or really dirty shirt on top of it. I wonder how this will work out when room checks start. Sigh…wish me luck CC.</p>
<p>My roommate’s boyfriend is sleeping over for the second night. They spend a lot of the free time we get cuddling in her loft with all the lights off or smoking out in one of the huts. And pretty much I can’t be in my room while they’re here without being like really uncomfortable.</p>
<p>It would seem that my roommate is like randomly “leaving”. He say bye or hey or whatever but he never seem to ask me if I wanted to go anywhere or whatever. I honestly have no idea where he is or what he’s doing. He sleep till like 12 after coming in around 2:30 am after a party ended like at 1 am (much of the campus is accessible in 20 minutes or less). I didn’t go to this party last night because I wanted to go to th- wait that’s nothing to do with my roomie lol.
Computer, end log.</p>
<p>We got a mystery on our hands <em>insert 20/20 music</em>. I haven’t seen my roommate since Friday morning. He hasn’t touched any of his stuff. I seriously don’t think he has been home since then. Should I be worried? Nah. He has been on facebook randomly. He left his computer and stuff here…hmm… He really trusts me or something bad in his family happened…I seriously hope it is the first. I’m staying over a friend’s house tonight because dorm life is BORING, I left him a note saying we could share stuff and to let me know if I’m doing anything to bug him. I’m scared he is going to switch, I want him to stay though! He is so chill and is NEVER around. Like that’s the best combo!</p>
<p>Dear Diary,
My roomie and I have yet to meet. She’s arrived at school, and I’m still a week away. I really wish we could talk about who is bringing what for our room, and if we’re renting a fridge or something. But she takes forever to respond. I realize this is a small complaint. Other than her slow texts, she seems pretty nice. I shall keep you updated on developments.</p>
<p>Today was the most fun I’ve had since I moved in last Thursday. I went out with a couple of my hallmates to an event on campus and we all had a lot of fun. I think this is a good start to actually connecting with them because I had been a bit out of the loop these past few days as my whole floor basically all got to know each other and I didn’t make too much of an effort to talk to them.</p>
<p>Where is my roommate? I have NO idea. She has been at frat parties the last couple of nights, so I can only assume she is there once again.</p>
<p>I feel like everyone at this school has brought their friends from high school with them. They already have their social groups and cliques and such. Thus, I have yet to make one friend.</p>
<p>It doesnt help that my roommate lives like ten minutes away from school so she gets to go home whenever she wants. I miss home already-well, parts of it.</p>
<p>I’ve been trying to be really nice to my roommate. Offer him food, say if there is any reason I’m bugging him just tell me and I would change, greet him, etc. All this has been meant with short responses and he always comes in super late, I don’t even know what he does. I even greeted him in the morning and he gave me this ****ed off look and turned around and laid down. Even just a second ago I saw him while walking around and he was joking around with his friend. We walked near each other and he looked away and gave a angry face again. </p>
<p>I was trying my best because he is kinda a push over and is never in the room and that’s an awesome roommate, I don’t want him to switched. HOWEVER, GOOD NEWS! I just found out for a room switch to occur ALL PARTIES (that means ME) have to agree to it. So yeah freak all that **** of me trying to suck up to him! I’m out! *****!</p>
<p>Wow, Serenity, I am so sorry! That’s horrible, and rude. </p>
<p>Anyway.</p>
<p>Dear Diary,</p>
<p>My roommate is only here sometimes, but when she is she feels like she has to talk to me. It’s not that I mind talking to her, but I feel like I have to leave the room to study without her talking to me. I also don’t mind leaving because there’s a lounge for me to sit in, it would just be nice to be able to be left alone in my room. She also thought our dorms were going to be like hotels and that the door would lock when you closed it. And that the bathrooms would have doors on the showers, and that we would all have our own space to keep our stuff in the bathroom. She’s just a little strange. And she has a lot of bananas that kind of make our room smell like bananas when you first walk in. I’m a chill person, so I just kind of roll with it. Despite that, I am going to try to get a single next year or at least room with someone I know better. I think things will be less awkward as the year goes on, but for now I’m just kind of uncomfortable in my own room when she’s here.</p>
<p>I feel a little guilty about leaving my roommate behind and,not asking him to come. Not saying that he wanted to come but now sitting it everything just feel, off. Well,off to the elephant ear.</p>
<p>Honestly I expected it to happen, but not this soon…</p>
<p>Roomie just moved out this morning…</p>
<p>I’m lonely and kinda sad now…like it is just empty space…</p>
<p>He said he is going in with one of his frat brothers because his frat brother had a horrible roommate that partied all the time, and they both had similar schedules…</p>
<p>Lies! All lies! I knew there was a reason why he didn’t unpack all his stuff! He had this planned out! Ugh idk what to even do… I feel so bad…like just sad and mad! Lonely!</p>
<p>Sigh…</p>
<p>Apparently I get the room to myself now. Hopefully they don’t try moving someone in here or charge me for a single room. Honestly on the verge of tears…</p>
<p>Irony, I complained about my roommate, but now all I want him back.</p>
<p>You want advice? Forget about it. You basically had the whole room to yourself the moment you contacted him back in the summer. And he was barely even there yet you complained (wait you’re not gay are you?). Anyways, I’m sure they won’t charge you extra based on what your ex-roomie did unless they’re that ■■■■■■■■. Other people might be having horrible roommate problem so they’ll probably hit reset and place them with you (you might be paired with that other frat brother roommates who is probably not horrible at all). </p>
<p>In a sense he done nothing to help you socially (which is suppose to be an advantage to having a roomie). Now is your chance to take advantage of the extra space (for now at least) and invite people in since you don’t have to worry about your roommate coming in and kicking everyone out. </p>
<p>If being in a single is the problem, talk with the Residence/housing office or whatever and explain your situation.</p>
