OK... I need to vent, so disregard this message if you feel you need to
Well here's my situation... before transferring here I decided to go ahead and live on campus for the first semester until I 'got the feel of things' and I figured I could move out and get my own apartment during the spring semester.
Before transferring here, I was a Resident Assistant at my other school, no naturally I am just used to living by myself. I am a major neat freak, and I can only study in *ABSOLTE* silence. Since my major consists of using computer a lot, I naturally study in my room.
Anyhow, I got assigned a roomie, which was no big deal. She lived 30 mins away from home so the only thing she really brought was clothes and bedding. I live 9 hours away, so I brought EVERYTHING. My roomie was cool with it and she was a really great person.
We got along *great*.. but 2 weeks into the semester she decided the 4-year university thing wasn't for her. She withdrew from school and moved out. Since then, I haven't completely "taken over" the other 1/3 of the room, but I have found the extra space kind of comfy since I brought a lot of stuff and as mentioned before, I'm used to living alone since I was an RA.
Here's the catch. Two days ago, I was studying hard for stats and I get a knock at my door. It was a girl who had a list of all the rooms with vacancies. She wanted to move out of her room because she was uncomfortable with her roomie. (Her roomie.. umm... "had relations" at all hours of the day/night regardless if the girl was there or not)
I felt really bad. She told me all sorts of crazy things like she's manic depressant and her mom is bi-polar.. basically stuff I probably wouldn't tell someone I had met for 5 seconds. I could tell right off we wouldn't get along. She can't study without some sort of background noise. I study *a lot* and that would drive me crazy. She said she doesn't care if her room is messy or what... I'm a major neat freak. I couldn't stand to see the room messy even if it wasn't "my side" of the room. It would drive me absolute bananas! She also mentioned she has "a lot of big stuff"... hmmm this isn't a big room. And the main reason space wasn't a big deal for me & my previous roomie is because we agreed during the summer I would take all the "big stuff"... there is hardly room for more "big stuff". And during our chit chat, I mentioned my GLO and she just kinda said "oh. i really look down on all those sororities and fraternities no matter what kind they are..." and she proceeded to tell me how useless it was ... etc. etc. kind of upset me if you know what I mean.
Since this is campus housing, I guess I don't really have a say in who she moves in with, however I just wouldn't think it would be smart (if she was smart enough to realize how we wouldn't mesh too well) to move in with someone who obviously isn't compatible.
I have been deathly scared the past couple of days that I will come back from class or somewhere else to see her stuff moved in!!!!
Ok .. there is my rant...
