<p>I guess I’m way too social for that.
In all honesty, I kind of love roommates, even if they suck because afterwards it’s an experience, and you have stories to tell (:</p>
<p>^
Good point 
I went to boarding high school in rural Korea, with 7 roommates.</p>
<p>Lots of stories.</p>
<p>My roommate came home at 4am last night with a bunch of friends back from clubbing and they all slept over, never bothered to tell me she was having people over for the night. Then they were back and forth to the showers until 5am, and their alarms went off at 8am. I am exhausted and /I/ had a night in last night!</p>
<p>My roommate is from Malaysia. We live in a double in Baits, N Campus at Michigan. When I found out about where my room mate was from, I was ecstatic (except for having to live in Baits, one of the worst dorms on campus), because I had always wanted to meet someone new from a place far far away. I could not be more disappointed. </p>
<p>When he found out I was taking Honors Calc III, he’s literally said, “Teach me if I need help.” It wasn’t simply a polite request … it was like a command, as if he would mooch off of me even though I’m not that brilliant. My reply was, “Hey you took A Levels you must be pretty smart” </p>
<p>Other than that, after we set up our room, we just sat in awkward silence. We didn’t have much in common, so there wasn’t much to talk about. Later that night, after hanging with some people in my dorm, I went to bed at about 11:30 ish because I’m weird like that. He comes in at 12:30, and he’s like, “Why are you sleeping?” I said, “I’m tired. I need recharging.” So he stays up a little later to surf on the Internet, though I did fall asleep, because I was tired. </p>
<p>The next day I woke up at around 8, and my room mate was still asleep. I waited for an hour and a half to wait for him b/c I wanted to have breakfast with him. He didn’t wake up, so I went to breakfast w/o him (but turns out they had already shut down the dining halls to prep for lunch). By the time I left for lunch, he was still asleep. No chance to connect. </p>
<p>That night, I went to bed at around 12, and my room mate had not come back yet from going out. When I woke up at 6:45, my room mate was still asleep. I went out for a run, got showered, and went to breakfast, coming back at 9-ish. He was still asleep, so I asked him, “When did you get back last night.” His reply: “I was at a frat party so I didn’t get back until 4. It’s too early now, I need to go to sleep” Go figure, you were still on Facebook at 4:15 (his last post was around that time) – it really is a wonder that you can sleep until 2 in the afternoon. You’ve been in Michigan for a week, so jet lag doesn’t really qualify as an excuse anymore. HOW ON EARTH AM I SUPPOSED TO CONNECT WITH THIS GUY???</p>
<p>At this point I’d just go about your business. My roommate is almost never here so I don’t get to connect with her either, but she’s not a bad roommate on the whole so I consider myself fairly lucky.</p>
<p>Well as someone who had just started my freshmen year, I must say I think I have pretty good roommate story. My first night in the dorm, my roomie comes in wasted and i was like oh well. So then he proceeded to urinate in our window unit. After that he attempted to jump in his loft but he bounced off the side of the mattress. Landing face down on the floor, I thought he was dead for sure. Eventually he groaned so I just let him lay there. The next morning I woke up early just to make him clean his excrement out of the AC unit. </p>
<p>Then a few days later, he came back wasted again and urinated on our floor :-)…welcome to college.</p>
<p>ab2013, I dont see anything wrong with what he’s done…Also, going to bed at 11:30 is pretty weird.</p>
<p>ab2013, you’re gonna be spending 8 months with this guy so you probably will connect. And if you dont feel like you will, talk to him on Facebook.</p>
<p>I once knew two roommates who were never in the room at the same time but they turned out to be really good friends because they maintained a really close relationship through facebook.
it was really weird but it worked out for them. (:</p>
<p>My residence hall used to be men only so there are urinals in the ladies rooms, but they don’t actually function. The story going around is that someone puked in one of them and no one has cleaned it and the custodian doesn’t clean vomit, so I am just going to use a different bathroom for a few days. >.<</p>
<p>^TwistedxKiss, are you in Bursley?</p>
<p>So far my roomie has had 2 boys spend the night, and last night invited about 12 (already drunk) people into our room. wasn’t too happy about that.</p>
<p>My roommate comes back really drunk every night at 12:15 AM like clockwork (only to change and go back out). It is hilarious because there’s usually a group of ~10 of us in the room playing cards or something of the like (sober) and laughing at her attempts to try to walk through the room and stay standing up. Ahh, good times. (She knows we laugh at her, it’s not malicious, she thinks it’s funny too).</p>
<p>hahahaha
thats good entertainment (:</p>
<p>"ab-When he found out I was taking Honors Calc III, he’s literally said, “Teach me if I need help.”
