I had the same odd roommate for two years in a row, which was a horrible idea. She is an extremely emotional girl, and on a regular basis I'd come back to the dorm in the middle of the day to find her sitting in the dark, watching something sad on TV and crying. She would also refuse to let any of my friends in the room if she wasn't wearing makeup, so after a while I would only come into our room to sleep or grab something out of there.

While she never did the whole "have sex with her boyfriend while the roommate's sleeping three feet away," she did let him spend the night on occasion, and it was horrible. The man's snoring could've woken the dead, and he made some weird gurgling noise all night that was disgusting (I think it was related to his acid reflux). Needless to say, when he was over, I would either sleep at a friend's, or sleep with my headphones on.

After my plans to live with a good friend didn't work out for my sophomore year, I didn't have much choice but to live with this girl again. Big mistake. In the dorms freshman year, she would keep stuff piled on her side of the room, to where you couldn't move around on her half of the room. This should've tipped me off, not to mention the fact that she came from a less than great family where no one cleaned ever. I was still shocked at how gross the girl was when we moved into our new apartment! She would leave bowls of cereal in her room for months on end, not clean up after the cat, and pile dishes up in the sink (rather than using the perfectly good dishwasher). I would come home and she'd have all kinds of candles lit to cover up her nasty stench... why not just clean?

To give her a little taste of her own medicine, I stopped staying there, coming home only for the occasional meal and to change and shower. I never took out the trash or put away my dirty dishes for about a month (this was after about 6 months of cleaning up after her). I think she finally got the point, but her and I don't speak anymore.

ETA: I'll be living with two sorority sisters this coming year, so things will be much much better!
