<p>This may sound really stupid and lame, but I'm really scared of heights and I'm afraid I might roll over while snoozing on the top bunk. I roll out of my own bed at home. :( My roommate also wants the lower bunk so I don't know what else to do but suck it up when quarter and try not to roll and sleep roll/stress-free the next. </p>
<p>Is there another solution (like side rails)?</p>
<p>what you do is get to the room first on move-in to guarantee your spot on the lower bed. or explain this to your roomie (with your logic or your fist, whichever is more effective). good luck!</p>
<p>I already did. It didn't work. :( </p>
<p>Logic, not fist. Or foot.</p>
<p>all the of the bunks have guard rails now....you hafta literally jump off to actually fall....so dont worry :)</p>
<p>What if you were dreaming you were a lil kid again, playing at the park, then all of a sudden, your roommates hear a thud..</p>
<p>Aww, thanks. That's more comforting Bruinbee09. :)</p>
<p>And that's not really comforting ilikechicken6340. Now I'm more freaked out. </p>
<p>But I would really like the bottom bunk for one quarter at least. </p>
<p>Any other solutions ?</p>
<p>then you will get the bottom bunk for one quarter. your roommate needs to compromise with you. bruinbee is right it's pretty hard to fall off. i guess if your that concerned you can put some pillows or cushiosn on the ground so the fall wont hurt</p>
<p>How exactly did you determine who gets bottom bunk? Pull straws or numbers?</p>
<p>If you're extremely paranoid then put cushions on the floor :s It might annoy your roommate to the extent they give you the bottom bunk lol</p>
<p>Rosedust - We didn't decide yet but I really don't know any other solutions to sharing the bottom bunk. I'm so confused! I really don't want to annoy them either with a bed of pillows on the ground.</p>
<p>What was their reasoning for the bottom bunk?</p>
<p>No reason yet. She just wants it.</p>
<p>My reason is my fear of heights and rolling problem. Ugh. My future husband is going to hate it when he sees that his wife prefers the floor to the bed.</p>
<p>Rosedust, are you in Hedrick Summit?</p>
<p>Well that's no good. She needs to give a pretty darn good reason. :s</p>
<p>Lol don't worry, I know some guys that don't like sleeping on beds but prefer the floor, or at least a mattress on the floor. lol</p>
<p>Oh thank goodness, there IS hope for me. </p>
<p>But in terms of this lower bunk sit, any other students out there with a solution for two people fighting over the same bed [anything besides first come first serve]?</p>
<p>How exactly did you determine who gets bottom bunk? Pull straws or numbers?</p>
<p>^i'm doing that with mine... </p>
<p>so how long have u talked to them about this? are they really ADAMANT THAT SO-AND-SO MUST get the bed?</p>
<p>We haven't talked yet, I just want some possible solutions if we both have really good reasons for the bottom bunk. Pulling straws/numbers sounds like a really good idea. Haha, I hope she's not like, "IF I DON'T GET THE BOTTOM BUNK, I'LL MAKE YOUR FRESHMAN YEAR A LIVING HELL."</p>
<p>Yeah but , we haven't talked about it yet [but will soon], and I think I have a good reason for the bottom bunk [?]. But thanks for your replies guys, really helps. :)</p>
<p>mnucla, don't sweat it. it'll be alright. :) worst case scenario is you sleeping pillows on the floor with a blanket. </p>
<p>yeah don't worry until after you talk to them!</p>
<p>I have that same fear of heights, but so far one of my roommates already wants a top bunk and I just have to hope the other feels the same. </p>
<p>I don't know if this applies to you, but another reason to want the bottom bunk is if you have a full or large size bed now. I have a full bed and I could argue that my body is used to naturally having room to roll over and I am more likely to fall off the bed. Therefore I should get the bottom bunk. ;)</p>
<p>Haha, if she says that, show her to me >] j/k</p>
<p>But really, it should be okayyy!~ Be happy and um...if you don't get bottom just be glad you have a chance to conquer your fear and make yourself a bed loving wife. :]</p>
<p>I think the switch quarter might be okay though. And if you're stilllll really worried, maybe try and make a compromise with her, like, if you're still dead scared of the top in a week, switch with her and she can get the bigger closet or something? Iunno. :]</p>
<p>Emmeline - Thanks for the replies. I appreciate it and the support. :)</p>
<p>Fiddledd - Haha yeah. I'm too long for my twin sized bed and my feet hang over the bottom. But that's really doesn't make me rollover. I use a body pillow that takes up 50% of my bed space, so that's how I rollover. And I can't sleep w/o it. Hope you get the bottom bunk fiddledd! </p>
<p>Rosedust - I will most definitely! And that sounds like a greatt compromise. :)</p>
<p>hm why do people want the bottom bunk bed? which is most popular, what about the loft? </p>
<p>anyways, if we get there first, can we choose the beds and the closets?</p>
