I currently am sharing my room with a student athlete, let's call her Molly, who seems to be drinking more than she's studying. I could ramble on and on about the things that bother me about her, and I'm sure she has a list of things I do that just drive her bat-shit crazy, but this is just getting ridiculous.
Who lives with who: Molly and I share a room
Jessica and Katie share a room
Erin and Lindsey share a room
(All fake names to protect their identities)
It was about four or five in the morning on a Tuesday, when I blinked open my sleep crusted eyes because the sound of the lofted bed not twenty feet away from me was sliding back and forth. Frankly I don't care if this girl I share my tiny room with gets action or not but we agreed to no sex while we were in the room with each other. It might be different if we talked to each other, but we don't. If she and I were best friends I may be a little more excited that Molly is getting laid on a weeknight instead of getting her eight hours of sleep in.
This is what gets me, that it wasn't the same guy that Molly has been hooking up with continually since we arrived here in September, no. Instead my brilliant roomie has decided to hook up with one of her teammates, let's call her Sydney, who already has a girlfriend on their basketball team. Let me try to explain this the best I can: Molly (my roomie) is sleeping around with Sydney (basketball teammate of aforementioned roomie), Sydney has a girlfriend (Diane), and once again they are all on the basketball team.
However, my roomie, up until the other day, had me under the impression that she was into guys, and not girls.

I don't know where I got that idea from, since you know she had a boyfriend a few months ago, and she had her hookup guy on the side too, but Sydney was just kind of a smack in the face. This is the opening to a whole new world of drama for me, Molly, and the four other girls who share a suite style set up with us.
But really, while I was sleeping? She couldn't wait until I left for class at eight when she could have the room to herself? She couldn't go to her teammates room? She just had to do this while I was trying to sleep for my stressful day ahead of me where I had to give a presentation that counted for over thirty percent of my grade.
I'm biting my tongue about this little issue. I don't want Sydney's girlfriend beating the living shit out of me because I knew that my considerate roomie was hooking up with her late at night. Maybe next time Molly could put up some sort of blockade, or hand me some earmuffs so I don't have to hear that anymore.
That sucks! I've always found that the best way to get back at a crappy roommate is to play pranks on them. One year I put a slice of cheese on my roommates stick of deodorant (molded it to the shape of the tip) and he used it for like 2 weeks! It was great.
ReplyDeleteThings could be worse. When I was a freshman, I got stuck with a kid that was 25, wore tighty-whities, and literally never showered. This kid smelled like 2-year old sushi that had been left out in the sun.
ReplyDeleteI hate slutty roommates! I have heard my fair share of 4am hookups. People are gross.
ReplyDeleteI feel for you. I have always lived alone. I put myself through college and will work any job I have too, but I always have my own place. The only time I lived with anyone was my boyfriend and I found another girl in my bed. Just remember it does not have to last. Start looking for a different place to live. Ask the school to change dorms or your parents for and apartment. You can find decent roomates I hear. I refuse to live with one.
ReplyDeleteMy old roommate did the same thing to me. It totally sucks. I just made a comment to her about how much her bed squeaks. She called me an asshole because I said something. But I could tell she was completely embarressed by it. Never here it again.
ReplyDeleteWOW! That is awful. I couldn't even imagine. That is one of the exact reasons I don't live on campus. Living with five girls is bad enough.
ReplyDeleteI have yet to hear about two girls who were put together by random selection, and have it be a good match. It's a hard thing, to find the perfect balance of cleanliness and personality.
ReplyDeleteI had a terrible roommate situation too. They broke my chair and walked around naked in front of my friends... For hours. Being clothed is a choice in the comfort in your own suite I suppose.
I feel ya, hope things get better!
Sounds like you have many late night interruptions awaiting you..
ReplyDeleteSome people would be okay with your situation but really..she is disrespecting you soooo much.
