Okay, I had a different kind of roomate hell, but will so agree with everyone who says to get out and get out fast! I lived with 3 girls who had all gone to college together(I knew one of them from HS but she was a few years older) and I was so excited when she let me know that they had an extra room in their cool house in DC. We talked a few times before I moved in and I was really excited. SADLY, that was the last time any of the girls talked to me AT ALL. When I moved all my stuff in, none of the girls helped me(one of my new neighbors saw me struggling with my mattress and gave me a hand. They were all retreated into their rooms. They would all go out and never ask me. They would forget to give me phone messages, or tell me that "the girl with the annoying voice-I think its one of your sorority sisters called"(They were COMPLETELY anti greek). And when I did have friends over, they would leave me little notes, telling me how they didn't think my friends were the kind of caliber of people that should be in their house. When I did meet a guy in DC and began to spend some nights at his house, I learned that the girl from my hometown had told people I had turned into an alcholic slut and was sleeping around and never home.
Finally, I had enough and actually moved from DC to ATL, because I knew that I would rather be near my friends than at a good job. The kicker was when I told my roomates I was moving out and one of them looked at me and said "You know, Atlanta really is more of the place for sorority girls that need their mommies and daddy's. DC is the place for people with strength and backbone" I moved out a week later and have not spoken to any of them since.
While I did want revenge and I had some nice things planned, I came to realize that their lives were so shallow, pathetic, and bitter, what they did to themselves in the years to come was much worse than anything I could ever do to them. And whats great is I ADORE Atlanta, have amazing friends, a killer apartment(by myself), a good job, and know that I have the STRENGTH to admit I made a mistake and move on with my life. That to me is the best revenge!
Hang in there, sweetie!! I am always here to listen!!!
