So, my life sucks right now and I just don't know what to do other than complain because I don't see any solution. First and foremost, I miss Chris. I thought I was doing fine and then I went and saw A Walk To Remember and it messed me up. He leaves on Feb. 9th and I really want to call him before he leaves so I can have some closure, but it just feels ackward and I don't know what to say. Second, I hate my roommates...not dislike...really hate. They are terrible! They treat me like I'm invisible and I don't want to sit down with them because I know they'll just gang up on me and make me feel worse. School is okay, but the closer I get to graduating, the less effort I feel like I'm putting in, which is such a bad attitude. The only thing that is keeping me sane is spending time with other sisters. I've gotten really close to some of the girls I don't normally hang out with that makes me happy. But, overall, I'm just so unhappy.

Leslie, I am so sorry. But just think, you wont have to deal with the roomies anymore, cuz you'll be living at AB and they always know how to make life interesting!
About the school thing, its called second semesteritis! Everyone gets it so you'll be fine. Your just feeling a lil bumbed so it probably feels like your slacking.
As far as Chris goes I say call him, its best to get things out in the open. In my "clique" from HS, we never told each other how we really felt about the things that weve all done to each other and etc. One night me and me and one of them got into it, and just let everything out and then talked about. Now we're probably closer then ever, closer then the other ones at least.
But its good to know that there are sisters you can depend on.

If it makes you feel beter I didnt get an interview to be an LC, life goes on

I'm not good at remembering stuff. Are you in a suite in the house or in an apartment?

I know it's difficult to stay in good spirits when your roomies are being such downers. On the other hand, it's great that you are spending time with the other sisters that you haven't gotten to know.

We are sisters and are supposed to be able to get along, but then in "real families", relatives go for years without speaking.

Since I don't recall the exact situation, here are some suggestions...divide to conquer?? Is it that one is over-influencing 1 or 2 others? Spend time with your roomies as individuals.

For the one on EC, is her attitude being negatively affected? Do you think that will result in her office being taken from her?

Is there something that some of the advisors could do something about to get the situation changed?

If there's anything I can do, please let me know!

LIEP,
Lynn

Leslie, maybe you should sit down with your roomies- one by one (so they won't gang up on you!) and have a chat with them. I absolutely hate tension and not being able to do anything about it. The way I see it, you have nothing to lose by being cool and collected about it cause you apparently see that light at the end of the tunnel called graduation!!

I have nothing to add to the sage advice that everyone gave before me. I just wanted to let you know that things will definitely get better. God never closes doors without opening windows!

If there is anything at all that I can do to cheer you up, please don't hesitate to ask.

Thank you all for your support! I'm sorry to be a downer myself with all my complaints, but sometimes the frustration is overwhelming! I live in a house with my three roommates and I do believe one of them is the "ring leader." My inactive roommate is not really a pain, she's just done a 180 and now she unapproachable. My roommate on EC's behavior isn't towards anyone but me...it's not a chapter issue, it's a roommate issue. I just get sick of feeling invisible in my house, but at the same time I don't want to hang out with them because of their attitude.

Believe me when I say I know EXACTLY how you feel. That is what happened to me. Sad to say but I lost my friendships with those people. But I am happier now. I finally decided I would not let them bring me down any longer and I haven't. I still have a great time, I am getting ready to graduate and although I hate going to class everyday I just remind myself I only have three months left.
Other than that all I can say is, take care of yourself. Whatever is up their butts will die eventually and they will realize that being rude to someone (especially a sister) is just not cool.
Love and loyalty, Sarah
