<p>so you can find out who your roommate is now! check the housing website... I emailed my roommate.. the guy doesnt have facebook or myspace.... I'll have to corrupt him.</p>
<p>I found out mine too. They're both from South Korea. Definately wasn't expecting that. Hopefully they'll be cool and not exclude me cause I'm a foreign devil ;).</p>
<p>my roomie doesn't have a facebook account either. He's from illinois. I hope I won't be much of a cultural shock to him since I am from China. But I am pretty certain that he will find his new life easier than he thought, because I went to a boarding school in Conneticut and I probably know more about American dorms than he doesn, haha.</p>
<p>my roomate is a sopohomore which should be rather interesting.</p>
<p>how do you know if your roommate is a freshman or sophomore?</p>
<p>Lol. That's nothing. I'm an engineering major freshman who's somehow rooming with a senior in media and cinema studies. Found out through facebook. I always thought you were supposed to get put with someone in your year. I would even be happy with being put with a sophomore. But a SENIOR?...by the 2nd semester he's not going to care anymore...not to mention it just kind of makes things a little awkward. All the incoming freshman and they can't manage to put me with one?</p>
<p>stop complaining, you have somebody to buy for you now.</p>
<p>Oh boy! I've always wanted to get drunk. Especially with all the free time I have in the engineering field.</p>
<p>not like he's gonna guarantee to you that he'll buy you w/e you want. anywho, if it is truly awkward just apply for a room change. I dunno, mine seems to pretty nice so far from the message he sent me.</p>
<p>After getting denied from all top dorm choices, (I'm in Snyder now...Yay...), I've been placed with an international from India and some other dude. Should be interesting.</p>
<p>LAAAAME... I just talked to my roommate's friends on myspace. The guy doesn't have a myspace because he thinks its for girls (say his friends). He still hasn't responded to my email to him. Here are the replies I got from his friends so far:</p>

You've come to the right person for answers. He doesn't have a Myspace, because he believes he is beyond having a myspace and it's for girls. Brad is the most worthless sonuvabich I've ever had to deal with. He is worthless in every aspect of life and contributes nothing to our small group of friends. Other than that he's alright. We're okay in small doses, for some of us, others just can't stand him. I guess if you're a big drinking, and you've dabbled with drugs you'll have something in common with him, because these days, that seems to be the only reason he hangs around. If anyones asks, you got your answers from a kid named '(removed)'.

Well yes he did pee in my buddies front yard and then go cry about it, because they were calling his dad (who is satan). But the kid is still worthless and a twat. His life hasno relevance to anyone or anything on this planet. He's a nice kid. He's just an idiot. Booksmart maybe, he did get into U of I, but common sense wise your better off with a pile of steamy dog excrete. Have fun living with that for how ever long you can tolerate him for. My record is 15 minutes, lets see how long you last!

<p>and JayBlay77, i think your roommate should be bummed about having to room with you, not the other way around. what a bore!</p>
<p>@ tennisfan88 - I probably will apply for a change. I wouldn't mind so much if he was cool and all but he sounds more like the guy taffy's with. Don't know much about his preferences about alcohol and what not. He's in media studies. And he has already specifically (sp?) said he hates college. I dunno...you do the math. </p>
<p>@taffy - you can sit here and call me a bore all you want. Not all of us need alcohol to have fun. Don't be thinkin "Oh he's into engineering and doesn't get drunk so he must be a nerd." I played varsity bball and hold my school's triple jump record in varsity track. I party (have two to go to this weekend), have fun, and have a bunch of friends. I'm just not real into alcohol. Now it definitely sounds like you have it pretty bad yourself. And if you want to go by myspace/facebook my guy does have a facebook so he may have one up on your Brad character. But in the 3 years he's been at U of I he's managed to put together 10 U of I friends. I haven't even gotten there yet and i've got at least 32. So don't be tryin to tell me about how much I'm a bore and he should be dissapointed. He already hates college to begin with.
/End rant</p>
<p>When my room mate gets drunk he goes into fits of rage. These fits often involve masturbating, listening to Hanson, and writing monograms for characters from the movie Battlefield Earth. Due to my strict religious upbringing, I cannot pass judgment, but at the same time, I cannot partake in the festivities. For mostly worse, this makes doing homework rather difficult. And heaven forbid my beloved Rosemary and I having just a few minutes of courtship in my exquisite college bed. I was the poor freshman stuck with a senior room mate, and sympathy I did not get. To each his own, but if alcohol causes people to partake in activities involving Hanson and Battlefield Earth, you can count me out. I respect, and suspect, that most kids will go out and partake in this great, mystic, event that is integral to the college culture. But remember, Jesus just made wine, he did not endorse it. Kind of like tobacco companies.</p>
<p>Jay, you implied that you will not have enough time for social activities (such as drinking) because you will be so busy with your engineering...</p>
<p>I've talked to a few more of his friends, and apparently hes an annoying drunk. it looks like I jynxed myself by calling you a bore for not drinking.</p>
<p>taffy, I think the guy responding to your emails is joking around lol. At least hope he is.</p>
<p>i got like 8 responses from 8 different people, with overall the same impression... i dont think theyre all conspiring against me unfortunately.</p>
<p>well if it gets too bad taffy apparently you can apply for a change after the first week.</p>
<p>haha sounds good. I'll be in air force rotc waking up tuesdays/thursdays at 5 AM so maybe he will get sick of me and my alarm clock :D</p>
<p>i don't have a myspace either...</p>
<p>i don't think it's girly, but i do think it's kind of stupid...And i won't be gettin a facebook either cause I DON'T GIVE 2 SHIITES about it lmao.</p>
<p>^^Thankyou. Everyone thinks it's...cool. Damn. Get a life. </p>
<p>...realizes that i communicate on this site too much and revokes former statement.</p>
