<p>First off, let me just say that I am by no means a neat-freak. My room at home most days is a cluttered mess (the kind of cluttered mess where you know where everything is, it's just kind of randomly tossed about. It's nothing like trash or food or anything like that). But in our dorm, the room is really small (10ft x 10ft) and I try pretty hard to not let it look like my room at home because it's shared space.</p>
<p>Now, under her desk are 6 pairs of shoes ranging from sweaty old tennis shoes to Ugg boats (even though it's 80 degrees), sandals, etc. and I really think they're starting to smell. I can't be sure, but whenever all of her shoes are tossed about on her side, the room starts to have a certain odor. (I have two pairs of shoes out now, slippers and a pair of regular shoes) She does laundry every two weeks to the point that for at least 3 days before she actually does laundry, dirty clothes start to migrate from her laundry bag to the floor. It got so bad that I was walking into the room the other day when the lights were off and I fell over her shoes and clothes in the middle of the floor.</p>
<p>But the worst part is her hair. I could deal with shoes and dirty laundry if I didn't find her hair everywhere. Seriously. The girl sheds like an animal for whatever reason. She'll brush her hair by the door and the dead hair started to collect under the door until it looked like it was growing a bloody tail! I've asked her more than once to please pick up the clumps of her hair that are all over the floor and she just responds that it's gross. We both know that it's her hair because my hair is a different colour and texture. I find it in my bag, my bed, my desk, my shoes. I've honestly never known a human being to lose this much hair everyday and not be the least bit concerned by it. </p>
<p>I'm just tired of being the one Swiffering the floors and buying air fresheners to get the smell of funk out. She knows I'm sick of it because she's told one of our friends she needs to get all the half-full cups of alcohol and junk out of our room because she knows I'm ****ed about it (I was. We're not supposed to have it--I don't care if she does, but not all over the place like that when she knows our RA will just pop in all of the time to sit and talk). Is there a different way I can go about getting her to understand that her mess is overwhelming in such a tiny, tiny room? She cleaned from top to bottom when her parents came a month ago (didn't lift a finger to get her stuff out of the floors when mine came, but, what can you do....) but that was about it.</p>
