<p>In the "real world" people acting as crazy as you describe would be locked up. </p>

In the real world, there are always going to be people who act stupid/crazy, are loud, break things, generally cause mayhem, and, I guess most importantly, disrespect you. You have to learn how to deal with it.

<p>Nah, no grown adult has to contend with that at all. </p>
<p>Trust me, if you lived in an apartment complex, for example, and had neighbors acting like that, a ton of folks would call the cops and have that be it. </p>
<p>You have to learn to deal with things like that and move on. No one in their right mind should have to put up with silliness like that. I am a grown lady with her own house. If any one of my neighbors acted like that, they would be gone. That is the "real world." You cannot be grown and act like a kid and hvae folks think it cute, because you can cause a lot of harm to yourself and others.</p>
<p>rich, there is a difference between whatever it is you perceive as disrespect and people acting in a very rough manner and ripping places apart. In the "real world" not everyone is going to be super nice and kind, but no one would rip apart their condo or apartment by acting like a friggn' child and by rough housing. </p>
<p>Boo hoo tu madre. Act in the way op's floormates are acting in a condo or apartment and see how far it gets you. It is not behavior becoming an adult. </p>
<p>Meh, I guess I don't see it as much of a problem since these next 4 years are going to be their last chance to act childish. If that happened on my floor, they wouldn't personally be harming me, so it wouldn't bother me too much. But now that I think about it, if I had to study or do work, I wouldn't want that going on.</p>
<p>I would like to take a moment to say that I am sorry for sounding a bit rude in my last two postings. </p>
<p>I work really hard (but I have a Holiday day today) and one of my jobs is working at a financial aid office. Not as a work study person, either. No offense to the work study folks, btw:)</p>
<p>And, I see a lot of folks really struggle to pay for things like housing and the like. It really is just not nice to rough house in your dorms, because you wind up breaking things and harming other folks. It just is not cool. </p>
<p>I mean, one of the posters on this thread wrote on how they were knocked over by folks rough housing in the dorms. This type of stuff is not right. That is what parks are for. If you are a gentleman, or even a hyper lady like myself, then go to the park and rough house and be silly and maybe even pack a little lunch or what have you- do not take that type of behavior to the dorms that either you or your parents worked hard for. </p>
<p>But, once again- I am sorry for sounding like a mean lady earlier.</p>
<p>I think that its just them being stupid, I do it all the time me and my friends are constantly jumping up and down tackling eachother laughing, making up situations, etc. I realize that there are times when it is a little bit unappropriate (ap?) but at the same time college is going to be stressful and if someone deals with that stress by "saving the world" and tackling each other then go for it. I have a group of friends who were bored so they spent four hours translating the bible to modern day langauge (they didn't get through Genisis) people do stupid things. When you're in college you're expected to expirement and mess around, its the last time that you'll be able to mess around and be a "kid" per say because once you do that stuff when you're out of college the lock you up in the looney bin with the pretty white jackets with gold buckles <em>sounds fun</em> :) LOL...if they're bothering you go study in the library, its there for a reason. I KNOW that you pay the money for the dorm so you should be able to study there but if you can't deal with the noise then remove yourself from the situation....problem solved.</p>
<p>why should someone have to leave to accomadate immature jerks....</p>
<p>why don't they go outside and roll around in the dirt and mark trees? or go for a run, or lift weights, or shoot hoops, but to feel that whenever the urge strikes that it is okay to run around like 3rd graders and disturb people, is about as immature as you can get, if you can't channel your childish impulses, you won't go very far....if that is how you get rid of stress, go play rugby or something</p>
<p>I understand but if they aren't willing to be respectful of you then you have two choices. Option A) Sit around and whine about it or Option B) Join in the fun, you have no right to critcize something when you have never participated in it. After you have participated in it then you can decide wether or not to sit around and whine.</p>
<p>lol boys are weird but imma chick and i'd participate in the stupidness, its just something fun, like i said before college is going to be your last chance to be young, so live it up. Maybe your freshman sophomore year you should be allowed to be childish and as you get older then you should start to mature but who cares its just messing around its nothing serious and nobody is physically getting hurt so <em>shrugs</em> deal with it?</p>

<p>This is wrong. You have a third option, which is to complain about this to the authorities, since you pay for your housing.</p>
<p>yeah thats true but thats the lame way out if you can't handle a little bit of crazieness in college how the hell are you going to survive in the "real world" if someone is annoying you in the real world you can't call the RA or w/e...you can call the cops but then you'd just be wasting time and taxpayers money because you can't deal with a little bit of noise</p>
