I had one last year! I had three room mates over the course of my freshman year.
My first room mate was during summer semester. We got along very well. Neither of us knew anyone too well, so we did EVERYTHING together. Eat breakfast, lunch, dinner together in the meal plan. Go to the gym together. Window shop at the mall together. By the end of our time together, I was getting a little sick of here, lol. She also was one of those girls who talked about their boyfriend NON STOP, but overall, we got along very well.
My second room mate was great. She was a double legacy to her chapter, and ended up joining, which was nice, since she was never really in the room. She was really nice and was quiet, and was also a nursing major, so she was very studious. She also went out a lot, but never woke me up when coming in. She ended up moving into her sorority house after that semester.
My third room mate was actually good friends with my second room mate, and they were in the same sorority. but they couldn't be more different. I'll call her Katie. Katie was from a very "exclusive" area and was very "new money". Drove a fancy car, wore nothing but designer clothes (Even to class), and treated all her stuff like crap. She backed her car into a pole and thought nothing of it. She would leave her designer purses and tops on the ground and literally step on them. She also would talk about how she had "lowered herself socially" to date her ex-boyfriend, and how she could not believe he dumped her. She also was very into partying, and would come home drunk practically every night. She would slam all the doors, eat food loudly, and turn on all the lights. Sometimes, she would be on drugs. Katie would openly tell me about her sex life and drug use.... I'm extremely conservative, so this FREAKED ME OUT! She also was extremely messy and leave food and drinks out every where.. which lead to ants and cockroaches in our room. I am terrified of cockroaches, so I would have to wander the halls at night time until I could find a guy to come and kill them for me. she would also leave the bathroom an absolute mess, leaving her hair in the shower drain and never cleaning when it was her turn. She also would always have beer in our fridge (which could leave to us getting kicked out of the dorm) and even had marijuana sitting out on the counter a few times. I talked to my RA about the problem, but my only option was to switch into a triple in the oldest, nastiest dorm on campus, which was extremely far away from all my classes, so I opted to suck it up. Needless to say... I looked forward to move out day
I still see her around campus from time to time, and we are pleasant to each other. My suite mates, who we shared the bathroom with, were my angels! They became my absolute best friends, and were always there to listen to me complain about my room mate. We still hang out almost every day, and we are trying to get a town home together next year... if one does not live in her sorority house.
However,
