Where to begin...where to begin....
I've had a string of horrible roomates. The one I had first semester of Freshman year was MAKING drugs. She was trying to mix up morning glory seeds and paint thinner to create LSD I think. After I moved out of there, I was put in with a spoiled daddy's girl who insisted I was always annoying her by typing too loudly, etc, and who refused to let me bring a portable TV with headphones into the room. She said the light would distract her. After that, I moved home.
For the next year and a half, I had private rooms in the dorms, and it was great. This year, I moved into an on-campus apartment with 3 other girls. One of the girls, I've known forever and is great. The other two...are another story.
One girl (the main problem) refuses to do anything other than what she wants. She screams and complains how she always has to clean up and how messy we are, yet rarely cleans up her own messes. She smokes either in the apartment with the window open, or right outside the open front door, allowing all the smoke to come in. She had her boyfriend come and stay for about 4 days, and he spent most of the time sitting around with his shirt off in the living room. I was sitting in the living room, trying to study, and they just decided to move a party in there, no apologies, excuses or explanations. I had to leave the place to get any quiet. She also had a party the friday night before finals. All 5 times I asked her to please quiet down, she rudely said "yeah, fine, whatever" and turned the music down for 5 minutes and then it started back loud again. She also had a party in the middle of the week once, the night before I had a test. When at 2 am, I nicely asked her to either close her door or turn her music off, she said "go to bed, you're being rude, so I can be rude too. just shut up and go to bed." The best part of it all is that when our RA has spoken to her about this, she's come back and told me 1.) how childish it was to call him about it, 2.) how if I would have talked to her first it would have been worked out *yeah right* and 3.) that calling him is not going to make her do anything she doesn't want to do.
Wow...sorry this is so long...I guess I just have baaaaad luck with roomates.
