First Impression of your Roommate

<p>^ I honestly couldn’t care less about this. I don’t ever have to hang out in the room or spend time with him.</p>

<p>You will see him more than you think, even if it’s just long enough for him to say something snooty. Also remember that he has access to your stuff, if he really wanted too.</p>

<p>But yes, hanging out in your own dorm room isn’t very fun.</p>

<p>Whatever, I shall see soon enough.</p>

<p>We’re kind of different yet kind of the same at the same time.
…Which seems more normal now that I’ve written it. =P</p>

<p>Who really knows, though, because I’m sure I sound different than I really am in my emails.
I dunno, it’s probably just one of those things where we have to meet to really know.</p>

<p>She doesn’t seem like a really girly party girl type, so I’m happy. That would just be a pain for me to deal with.</p>

<p>“Oh God, this guy can’t talk or hear- He’s ****ing Helen Keller”</p>

<p>Then my other one,</p>

<p>“Oh Jesus, here’s one of those damn asians who thinks there the **** in everything they do”</p>

<p>He didn’t have a Facebook, which puzzled me. And the only pictures I could find were of him sniffing glue bottles and playing checkers with porcelain squirrels. Here’s hoping those were just his awkward teenage years.</p>

<p>don’t find out roommates names until sept 1.</p>

<p>I remember reading this last year right before I got my roommate assignment…

<p>Please read Terms of Service and refrain from posting links to third party websites.

</p>

<p>^ Your sarcasm is unnecessary. Go home.</p>

<p>I really wish I knew who my roommate(s) is/are … I don’t find out until my orientation, which is 9/14 and I don’t find out where I live till tomorrow!</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Mind if I hate your roommate for you?</p>

<p>Finally managed to find out my roommate after she didn’t release any of her contact info or name. Sent her a message on Facebook [only way I knew to contact her] a little over a week ago and haven’t heard back, but I’m not worried about that. Did glance at her profile. Most of her interests are about the Bible and God, and I’ve had some really, really bad experienced with religious roommates. Fingers crossed!</p>

<p>I have a militantly anti-religion, anti-Western, anti-everything-I-like roommate. Not that I mind her personal position, but I do have a problem with overbearing, pontificating, dogmatic folks - which she seems to be.</p>

<p>The rest of them seem okay. I’m in a suite, so I can always avoid someone if necessary by hiding out in the bathroom.</p>

<p>Three of my four suitemates seem pretty cool and chill. The other one hasn’t responded so whatever.</p>

<p>I think it’s pretty much a given that you’ll hate your freshman year roommate. I certainly did for 2 out of my 3 suitemates.</p>

<p>I got a fob…
He misunderstood like half the questions on the roommate information questionaire
o boy</p>

<p>^ Wait? What? Hahaha. How did he “misunderstood” the questions on the roommate questionnaire? He just wrote anything? lol.</p>

<p>I’m going to be a junior and I can’t believe that I feel a bit nervous about my roommate, (especially after my roommate dilemma last year). I didn’t even bother to facebook search her in fear that I’ll get the wrong first impression.</p>

<p>

Is your name supposed to be an amalgamation of two really awesome songs?</p>

<p>And I don’t know how he misunderstood the questions… He just missed some idioms that foreigners in english speaking countries would likely miss</p>

<p>@ rymd: Well, the “Mushaboom” part came from the Feist song. I was listening to her a lot when I created the username and used to get the song stuck in my head. The “Blue” part is nothing special. It’s just my favorite color :D</p>

<p>lol. The word “fob” always makes me giggle. He might turn out to be not such a bad roommate :slight_smile: Maybe nerdy and extra-motivated academically, but I’d rather take that than someone who’s a:</p>

<p>(1) Religious nut that shuns others for not following the bible but still manages to bring home a different guy every week night and participate in some premarital horizontal mambo-ing
(2) Manic depressive/bipolar nut
(3) Unhygienic nut that sleeps and plays W.o.W or C.o.D in between classes (sometimes through classes)</p>

<p>These are just a few example of people I or others have come across (unfortunately)</p>

<p>Before school even starts, my roommate is changing dorms because “he doesn’t want to room with a homosexual, no offense or anything.”</p>

<p>Talk about a slap in the face.</p>
