<p>"'And she watches anime.' </p>
<p>That's that... bad.. because..? Would it be any different if she was watching movies all the time?"</p>
<p>...No that ^ is bad. Anime is gay. GlitterHairDye, lol i get the picture your room is like 1/2 cheerleader and then 1/2 ...gross. Change!</p>
<p>Haha I just hate anime. I personally think it's really, really stupid. And I hat ethe TV. I brought it for Grey's anatomy and watching movies. I'm fine if she likes her own shows, but why does she feel compelled to watch them all the time?
I'm not a cheerleader ( well, maybe not ), I'm just a very outgoing person and I'm dissapointed that my roommate has made one friend and he's really creepy and she's quiet and looks like a boy. I wasn't expecting a best friend, but I did want one who was cool and I wouldn't feel annoyed hanging out with her. Unfortunatly, I have to wait 3 weeks. = (</p>
<p>Well ppl have different preferences, you just have to respect that. if guys can't get along then talk to your RA and get your rooms changed.</p>
<p>And just because you don't like it doesn't mean you have to bash it blink182, tsk tsk.</p>
<p>I really can't stand my roomate. She is so damn hyper all the time, wanting to always cause attention to herself. Everytime I come in my room she is always on my computer, I made the mistake of telling her she could use it when she needed it, so she starting to take advantage. As soon as I can, I'm switching to another room because she is really nerve recking and I am really starting to hate her.</p>
<p>Why did you tell her she could use your pc??? I would have never done that. If she doesn't have one, tell her to go to the nearest computer lab. </p>
<p>Glitter, have you tried talking to her, and telling her that you can't study or listen to your music or anything since she's constantly watching tv? You CAN NOT just ban her from your tv. With TVs, it's just understood that you're sharing. You also can't tell her, "well I only brought it for what I want to watch, when I want to watch, so your stuff has to go". You just have to talk to her and accept her for who she is for as long as you're stuck together. I'm not saying that you should be forced to deal with a roommate that doesn't respect you, but you won't get a room change if your reasoning is, "I don't like that she doesn't have lots of friends, doesn't like my music, watches tv shows I hate, and basically she isn't the perfect roommate, so she's gotta go". That won't get you anywhere.</p>
<p>Anyway, my roomie's awesome. We like the same music, we both can't stand the fact that our neighbors blast their pop/r&b music every weekend, all weekend, and we just get along well.</p>
<p>For the TV situation... I understand that it gets annoying to listen to. And no offense to anime watchers, but I would think anime would not be good to listen to especially for someone who doesn't watch TV often. My roommate is kind of obsessed with the TV and my other roomie and I made her get headphones. now it's the headphones that are annoying because she leaves them plugged in and it creates a rope barrier to the other side of the room. Ughh.</p>
<p>I'd just go to the study lounge down the hall...but yeah.</p>
<p>Anime would be the deal breaker.</p>
<p>I love my roommate... we get along really well. We actually spend most of our time together, so she's pretty much my best friend here.</p>
<p>Eh...try the headphones maybe? Anime IS really addicting once you get into it. Hehe.</p>
<p>The funny thing about anime is that one year all of the cheerleaders got REALLY into Prince of Tennis or something, some anime show...it was like a little legend at our highschool. But I do go to a really nerdy one that is about 40% Asian. Haha.</p>
<p>Anyway, Glitterhairdye, you sound kind of mean. I mean, why does it matter how your roomie dresses or who she's friends with? I can see how having the T.V. on to squeeling girls or Pokemon sounds all the time might be annoying, and it sucks that she is messy. But you guys could maybe try to work that out instead of switching and telling everyone your roommate sucks just because you wouldn't be friends with her.</p>
<p>I mean, you could get switched in with someone who smells...or snores...or who is so obsessively neat that she labels all of her stuff and constantly accuses you of stealing her underwear...or something. Heck, you could even get one who is a complete b**** and tells you that you're friends suck, you dress like a grandma, and Grey's Anatomy is terrible and sooo annoying to have to watch ;).</p>
<p>I love my roommate ^_^ Friggen Awesome. But, don't know if she will be back next semester. Thats really sad. Label's are cool and all as long as you have the right one.</p>
<p>My roommate's awesome. We actually picked each other back in June; my school set up a website where you could talk to other incomming freshman, and if you find someone you want to room with, you request to be with each other. So after that we talked a lot online through the summer, and after three weeks being here no major problems have arisen.</p>
<p>I'm really happy with my suitemates, as well. There are 6 other girls, besides me and my roommate. One we hardly ever see, as she's on the basketball and never around, but all the others I've talked to, and they're great.</p>
<p>My roommate and I get along really well. We share similar interests in music, clothes, etc. and can talk for hours, but also know when to be quiet. =)</p>
<p>my roommate is a total prissy *****....shes inconsiderate and has her friends over when i need to study and wont go to bed til 2 in the morning. I tend to be a pushover so i dont know how to approach her about our problems. She is planning on switching out at the end of the semester but idk if i want to room w/ her the whole semester. advice?</p>
<p>So your ideal roommate goes to bed early? Deal with it. I don't go to bed until 4 or 5 most nights, and I'll be damned if my roommate will tell me when to go to bed.</p>
<p>Glad to see you have such a healthy view of your interpersonal relationships.</p>
<p>^^At my school, in the roommate questionnaire, one of the questions is whether we go to sleep before or after midnight on school nights, and if we plan to study in the room or somewhere else more. </p>
<p>My roommate's great. He listens to good music (and blares it on his sweet speakers accordingly), and he doesn't even move when I wake up and get ready in the morning (his classes usually start 2-3 hours after mine), or if I come in after him at night--and he's not loud when he leaves/comes in either. </p>
<p>We've had one incident one late night after we came from separate parties because we never discussed about what certain whiteboard messages mean ("Kevin, don't come in. --Ryan" was taken as a possible joke instead of at face value.), but it was not really too big a deal and we have aclearer code set up ("bum it" or "BI"). </p>
<p>Anyway, we get along just fine. My side of the room is clearly messier than his, but I make up for it with the plentiful amounts of Gatorades and other food items that my parents contribute every time I ask for something (I asked for sandals for a rafting trip, they gave me a duffel bag full of food and drink along with the pair.)</p>
<p>Sinnic: I think it speaks more that you let your sleep cycle be controlled by someone you live with.</p>
<p>^what does your roommate do, assuming you have one? and when do you wake up ??</p>
