<p>My roommate was my best friend in high school. She’s completely different from me (she’s a sorority girl, loud, talks all the time) but somehow it works. We just have ground rules and know not to cross the line. Also, we keep the communication open. If we get annoyed with each other, we say it. That’s probably the most important thing - communication.</p>
<p>I don’t understand how it could not occur to someone to bring headphones with them to college.</p>
<p>I had good times and bad times with my ex roommate. We do share many things together, but there were times we would have bad times (like that time we fought in the study room). Although bad things happened, these are still great memories and still consider him as a great friend.</p>
<p>TwistedxKiss: He usually doesn’t use headphones? That’s my guess.</p>
<p>I removed his leg rest (desk chair) and put in the living room. He’s not talking to me. </p>
<p>Short story: I was eating breakfast with one of my suitemates and I put peaches on my waffles with syrup and whip cream which kinda freaked him out. He never experienced waffles with such condiments, only with butter and syrup.</p>
<p>I usually don’t use headphones but I brought them because I knew I would be living with someone else, which I guess was a good thing because my roommate didn’t bring any and I constantly have to drown out her crap with my headphones. I guess it’s not as much of a no brainer as I thought it was. People are dumb.</p>
<p>It would kill me to bring headphones with me.
I mean, duh, I would do it out of courtesy, but I’m so used to blasting music out of my stereo speakers and subwoofer.
Headphones just dont cut it for me.</p>
<p>Then get a single. :)</p>
<p>“It would kill me to bring headphones with me.
Headphones just dont cut it for me.”</p>
<p>Then plan to be murdered. : )</p>
<p>not only does my roommate read the effin new york times out loud…she talks on the phone LOUD late at night (talking 2 am here), asks me stupid questions as if I am freaking google and expects me to show her around campus/college life as if I am a personal tour guide (ie I supposedly must take her to football games, out with my friends, out to eat, shopping, etc. its a REQUIREMENT according to her.)</p>
<p>i. cant. take. it. any. more!</p>
<p>lol I live like 9 miles away from the college I’m going to go to, so I might just commute, in which case I can keep my loud music.
And if I choose to dorm, there are SO many kids who I know who are definitely going there, that we could just make our own floor, pretty much.</p>
<p>^^prismacolors, that would SUCK!
I hate clingy people…especially when they’re not really even your friend.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>LOOOOOL @ you complaining about this…</p>
<p>My roommate and I are perfect for each other. We go to bed anywhere from like 2am-7am (or… never), and wake up at 10 for class (our classes start at basically the same time, and if they don’t we still get up at the same time, haha) - or if we’re skipping class that day (or sick - which we both were recently for like 2 weeks), we basically sleep in until 4pm… or later. People don’t appreciate the nighttime, honestly, and those of you who go to bed before midnight and wake up at 6am… wut!!!
Yes I am making all A’s, even though I am clearly a delinquent for staying up this late.</p>
<p>Update (this is pathetic, but I need to tell someone): I removed my roommate’s “leg rest” a.k.a desk chair from the room and the bliss due to absence of it lasted for about a week and a half. Today, I forgot my 10AM class was canceled and walked back to the room to be greeted by the “leg rest” wit his foot on it. Just last night my suite mate threw a small party. I didn’t feel like drinking so I said my good nights to the guests and went to my room. Roommate says, “Good job. You resisted alcohol and are going to sleep like normal people!”</p>
<p>My roommate is so horrible I am considering breaking my lease and moving somewhere new for the spring. </p>
<p>I want to move into a hotel so bad. :(</p>
<p>Wow @ these stories. When I was in the dorm at my old college, I always had a single (…I’m selfish) and now I’m in an apartment by myself, though I do have extra rooms if I wanted to take on a roommate but…I’m still selfish. </p>
<p>I think the only time I had a bad roommate experience was when I did the Disney program, and that ended with a visit from the cops and talks of pressing charges.</p>
<p>ugh, i’ve had horrible roommate experiences. </p>
<p>my first roommate would be really nice to my face, and then a couple months before the end of the school year she told me i wasn’t allowed in the room that night (in other words, she tried to sexile me), and when i said no because i hadn’t had any notice plus i had a test the next morning, she pretended to be okay with it. two minutes after i walk out of the room i get a text saying that college is about sex, not getting your degree and i’m an immature ***** who needs to realize that and grow up. yeah…</p>
<p>roommate #2 is currently asleep across the room from me, which she does constantly. this wouldn’t be such a big deal if it weren’t for three things she does when she’s asleep: snores, farts, and MOANS. :(</p>
<p>these stories make me laugh (and cry a little! Lol).</p>
<p>@setphaserstostun: I understand, I’m in the same situation…</p>
<p>It’s only like 6 weeks into the year, and already I hate my roommate. At first it was okay, she was really sweet and friendly. Then she started partying every weekend and like clockwork at 4 AM would call me to come either pick her up or walk her back to the dorm from wherever she had been drinking. And when I tried to say no, she’d say I’m mean and dont care about her, and when I said yes to come and get her, she would get in my face and tell me I was ruining her night!
there’s so many issues with my roommate I can’t list them all…but the major problems…</p>
<p>1) steals my stuff (clothes, food, money, etc.) and/or magically “loses” them when i ask where they are
2) She constantly blares music from her laptop at 3 AM (and I have class at 8am everyday, so it really isnt working for me)
3) Has sex when I’m in the room, while I’m sleeping, whatever…then yells at me and proceeds to “sexile” me from the room (this happens at least twice every day).
4) the big one: SHE HAD SEX IN MY BED. I was like why would you do that? and she just giggled…
5) She’s SO LOUD…i don’t mind if someone is like excited about having a good time or whatever, but really? blaring through the door at 4 am is not cool.
6) Talks about me behind my back to everyone when I’m not around and tells her friends I’m (a bad word I can’t say)…</p>
<p>ahh…I am so sick of her. I’m tempted to break my lease as well!
but everyone else’s stories really make my day lol.</p>
<p>^ #4 is grounds for murder.</p>
<p>1st roommie: Ran a brothel (of sorts) in our room, but never told me when she’d be “entertaining” (ick!). Had long, loud conversations w/ the overhead lights on at 4 am. Didn’t clean up anything–ever. Made the entire room smell like cigarettes. Somehow, had multiple strands of her hair on all of my belongings. Her voice was creepy, and she never stopped sniffing. Her most heinous offence: she exists.
Current roommie: Doesn’t clean up anything–ever. Has had the a/c on (typically at 62 degrees or lower) since August–it has only been over 70 degrees for about a week, total, since we’ve been here. I feel like I’m walking into a freezer ever time I enter the room. Has the most annoying/loud alarm ever, and is never in a rush to turn it off (particularly early in the morning). Knows that I have class several hours before she does, yet still chooses to run into the shower just as I head over to it–when she exits, all she does is check Facebook. Touches my property. May have swine flu. Is generally just a terrible person. </p>
<p>Oddly enough, they are both from the South. All the other Southern people I’ve met/stayed with have been wonderful. Darn anomalies…</p>
<p>“Also, going to bed at 11:30 is pretty weird.”</p>
<p>I go to bed at 10.</p>
<p>arachnophobia12, my roommate’s is very similar to ur current rommy. hes from the south, and he has like this louda$$ alarm in the morning and a cellphone alarm everytime. he leaves the alarm on, and somehow manage to sleep comfortably. Usually, say his class is at 10, his alarm would start to go off around 9, and continue for a long time. this morning i got ****ed and shouted to make him turn it off XD
i can bear anything, but don’t mess with my sleep</p>
<p>I am only just over a month into my freshman year and me and my roommate are getting along really well, but there is one thing that is one thing that he did that was hilarious/would **** me off if I didn’t like him.</p>
<p>This kid is extremely straitlaced and according to him he hasn’t done too much crazy stuff in his life. So one Saturday night he decides that he wants to get drunk (this kid has never had anything to drink before). He then goes and drinks 5 shots. After 5 minutes he says “I don’t feel any different”, and then proceeds to drink another 5 shots. My roommate only weighs about 140. He then goes and does random stupid stuff like all drunk people, this part is nothing special. Throughout the entire evening though people are giving him tons of water because they know that since this is his first time he will probably get a massive hangover. So after a while we go to bed. I wake up the next morning to see that all of my cleaners are over on his side of the room. I ask him what happened and he said “I mistook my desk for a toilet”. He peed into a drawer in his desk, but he missed a lot so it got all over his papers and on the carpet. Since it was not my side of the room and I really could not smell anything, I just started laughing hysterically. However, if I did not like this guy I would probably be really ****ed off.</p>
