So I experienced my first semester at a full blown university this semester. I was at a dinky little Community College for a year and a half before, living with my parents, and working my as off to get to the college of my dreams. Being that it was the first semester living on my own, I got to experience living with people outside of my family. I would be over at my friends house all the time and my one friend, Reggie, whom I have known for several years but disconnected with in high school, reconnected with me and we became good friends. I started to notice how her personality clashed with everyone else's in the house. She would make messes, never clean them up, then tell my friends that their place was a mess and that they should be cleaner. We went to a party once and as she met all my new friends, she started texting me opinions of each—mostly mean opinions. I would watch her eat all of my food, all the time. And when I said something about it, she would get pissed off and get all defensive. She would purposely get in fights with my other friends in the house. They seriously had an argument over whether wetting your toothbrush is a good or bad thing. I don't know how I lasted 4 full months with her around. -------------------------------------------------- Recently, I was complaining about her to some friends of mine who only vaguely knew her. she somehow managed to read the conversation because I had left the conversation bubble up on my be-pudder (computer) and only texted my friend about it. For 3 days she was completely psycho and wouldn't talk to me until my friend told me all about it. The conversation she read was basically that I was tired of her excessive bitching and that I wish she wasn't so annoying. So she just sent me a text.... Asking me to apologize... And I can't help but want to send the response text that says "I'm not apologizing for things that are true. And for things that I'm by sorry for." Anyone who knows me knows that my backbone is made of the tissue paper that comes out of those pretty wrapped gift bags you get. I'm tired of being stepped all over and used like toilet paper. You fuck with me, prepare to die. I'm done with being shit on. For those of you who HAVE endured college, write below some of the shit your roommates/ college friends do that piss you off—maybe this will make me feel better about the hell I've had to endure the last 4 months I don't give a shit about what anyone thinks about me anymore. I am who I am. Get over it and move on.
Wait..... You're Shan? Why didnt you tell me! FUCK UR FRIEND! (not literally) Forget that girl. She aint worth your time
I have the attention span of 10 fish... 1 fish has enough memory for 2 seconds I didn't read this We got a "badbut" over here
I've lived with people like her. You have no need to apologize to her. She seems like a leach/ freeloader/ whatever you wish to call it... I'd tell her I'm not apologizing and if she can't accept that, go, "more food for me" I hope eventually you don't start sharing house with friends who don't like to pay rent especially if you known them all your life... It's hard to make them leave
Natie that happened to you? Yeah well she did a lot worse things. Like creep on my boyfriend. I'm just glad I won't see her for 3 months...
We live in dorms so it was just me an my roommate In a small room. I never met her outside of university. We clicked really well in the beginning. Started sharing clothes, hung out 24/7 but eventually that crumbled when she was trying to "find herself" she ended up in some pretty bad situations that affected me to the point where we almost fought physically. She's really really messy, never really takes others people's things into consideration but she is the coolest person I met. I lived with her for 9months. *yikes*
Lol I spent three hours one day browsing this college forum looking at a single topic titled 'rant about your roommate.' I have seen so much worse than your case and I have also heard of many bad roommate experiences from my friends too. I have had friends who have had to room with drug dealers, people who smoke weed in the room, and I have had friends whose roomates always wake them up from 'sounds' when their bf or gf sleeps over. I will say that I am lucky with my roommate and haven't really had any problems except I have walked to a library on about three occasions to study when he was blasting music in the room. I am very content with my roommate.
I know my case isn't as bad as others. Which is good. But I've also had to deal with weed smokers, dealers, and growers. I don't live with them. But I'm there all the time. Idk if I said this, but she's done a lot worse. I just feel like the stories are too long. I actually have my own roommate that I do live with. She's pretty awesome. Has her shit together and we get along.
I used to let my friends stay with me. (once I had 11 people to feed) I let them stay with me if they are homeless, or are in a hard spot. Only question that should be asked is what didn't happen I almost fought with my best friend, throwing some painful shit in her face (I got tired of her always telling my daughter what to do, and for trying to discipline her) she didn't have custody of her kid. We got into each others faces and I said, "Coming from a mom who can't even see her kid" ... That was the worst that's happened. Though we talked our problems out and remained friends. Once, I had 6 other able bodied people living with me and we still fell behind on rent. I was the only person paying. Eventually, the eviction notice came and Amy left. Then called MY boyfriend and was like, "call me if y'all can keep the place" I kicked everyone out, went to court, paid $2,400, and just hours later, she comes back so as soon as she left again, I set all her stuff out, and taped a sign to and locked the door saying, "no junkies, prostitutes or freeloaders" Oh. And I've had ALL my valuables stolen and I once caught my "friend" trying steal my bank envelope that had $600 in it for my trip to Atlantic City Now, I live with just me, my boyfriend and kid. (I let ppl stay over if we party and they have no DD) I Just got tired of the stress arising from people taking advantage of my kindness
... I hated that girl Amy I only let her stay with me cause she's my boyfriends, brothers girlfriend. (brother was in jail for child support) wow... Just reading the above makes me wanna go punch some "old friends"
