Ohhh roommates. I have a good one now, but one of the girls I lived with last year was a nightmare. Here's why.
1. She would have parties with her friends (and my...um...beverages) and not warn me or the other two girls that lived there. Quite shocking to come back to a party in your own apt that you were not invited to. Quite obnoxious when you had an exam the next day.
2. Upon return from spring break, we all received judicial citations from university housing. Turns out her boyfriend left an empty bottle of liquor in our living room and all four of us were underage at the time. After explaining the whole situation at a meeting with some condescending guy from res life, I confronted her. Her response? "Oh [boyfriend] is so naughty!"
3. And, yes, she ate all my food. She preferred my good stuff that I could only get from home, or anything organic and more expensive.
Since my minifridge currently served as the living room beer fridge, I discovered the advantages to going to the school with the coldest weather ever. Did you know that setting items like soda cans against a cold window does wonders? I also hung a cooler outside full of frozen dinners. I cleared my cupboard of nonperishables (like mac and cheese, pasta, chips) and kept them in my room. I kept my milk and veggies hidden behind a milk jug full of elmers glue and rubber veggies in baggies to throw her off. So yes, I was creative. And maybe a little mean. But, hey, as a poor college student, food is important!
