Your roommate sounds rude like it’s just generally like a rule to not come home at 3 and watch tv like... go to bed bruh

@greenteawhoney 6 жыл бұрын

my roommate freshman year would come home and do laundry at 3am... it was absolute HELL

@galpalcandygal 5 жыл бұрын

yea theres awkward and then theres weird bitch

@violetwinston4264 4 жыл бұрын

She can watch tv if she wants not everyone can sleep the same time you can. And its not rude. Leave her alone.

Blues pinkss She can wear HEADPHONES or TURN THE VOLUME DOWN. She KNOWS that someone is sleeping, and I bet college students need as much sleep as possible.

@piperh4334 6 жыл бұрын

as somebody who lived in the dorms and is now living off campus in a house, my advice is to BUY AN ELECTRIC KETTLE. you will use this for everything (oatmeal, tea, jell-o shots, sugar wax, you name it). i still use it to this day and they’re pretty affordable.

As an RA another thing that you can do is talk to your ra if you are having problems with your roommate(s). We can always have a chat with the roommate for you or even just give you advice on how to deal with it. Our job is to make your time on campus as easy and fun as possible

i FEEL u on your freshman year roommate experience !! i had a very similar experience where my roommate was not the most considerate about others around her and we did not speak unless necessary, and she did end up moving out at the end of the fall semester. i lived alone for the rest of my freshman year & ended up loving it!! so to any incoming freshman, don’t think you and your roommate must be bffs, and you do not need a roommate to get the full college experience!

I got a reusable metal water bottle from target and it's made by a company called [proof] and it is SO GOOD. I did a little experiment and I put ice water in it and left it in a hot car all day and overnight and in the morning it still had ice in it and was super cold. If you're looking for a bottle that's one I highly recommend!!

I’m glad you feel the same way as me that there’s nothing wrong with going random or picking a roommate-either could go wrong.😂 I decided to go random and I find out my roommate August 1st but so many of my friends found their roommates on Facebook and have already gotten to know them pretty well so I was getting nervous

Advice for roommates, if you have issues with your roommate, talk to them about it. Then if it doesn't get resolved talk to your RA. If you are still having problems do NOT be afraid to switch rooms. I had a toxic roommate first semester of freshman year and we both decided that it would be better that she moved out (as she already had another room to go to, if she didn't I would have left)

I will be a Sophomore next year and dorm life was interesting...I COMPLETELY agree with the people on your sheets thing! I HATE that and I get grossed out too, so you're not the only one! I'm also so sorry you had a bad first year with your roommate. My roommate and I got along fine and didn't have any fights or anything but we weren't really friends so that was kind of weird. I do also wish that I had told her some things that bothered me like her slamming the drawers in the morning and turning on the overhead light when I was asleep, but you know, I was too scare too!
