Roommate Issues
Sometimes I feel like the only person in the world (or at least my school) that has major roommate issues. My roommate is so inconsiderate. Every boundary I have set, everything that I have said is off limits or that she needs to ask me about first she has done without asking. Heck, she took my shoes and lied when I asked her where they were! That is just not a good situation right there. The current issue deals with something that is not mine. Gina, if you read this you might get ticked off but don't worry I dealt with it. Gina is letting me borrow all of her dvds for the semester, which is incredible nice, but she asked that I don't lend them out to other people. I relayed this message to Raven (my roommate) at the beginning of the year so that the dvds wouldn't be disappearing all of the school. Well, yesterday she came in while I was hanging out with Eric, and said she was going to grab a movie. She comes back a few minutes later and ends up going to sleep. Which means she wasn't watching the movie, she was lending it to her friends-without permission and breaking the one rule that I had with the dvds. They are not even my property which made it even worse. I talked to her about it and told her she cannot do that anymore, but even while I was talking to her I got the impression that she did not just forget the rule, but completely ignored it. It is a somewhat tense situation, however, I think it may have a good ending. She possibly is going to room with someone else next semester. That would be an answer to my prayers! So everyone, please pray that she will not be rooming with me next semester! I don't care if I get a new roommate or live by myself, it would just be a better situation.

I remember those roomate problems all too well. My sophomore year was the hardest year of my life so far, because of roomates. However, it just makes you appreciate your future roomates all the more. And you also learn to tolerate the crazy habbits and rules your roomate might set forth, because you know how it feels to be taken advantage of and not respected. I am sorry that you and Raven are not able to work things out, but maybe your next roomate will be great. and maybe she won't. It took me three tries before I found a good one. and four tries before I got a whole room of good ones.
and about those movies, they better all be there when you return them. you can bring them home when you start christmas break. maybe you should hide them until then. try hiding them where she keeps her shoes, since she doesn't wear them so she wouldn't look there.

roommate issues?
get it, you wrote sweet dizzle? on mine so I wrote roommate issues on yours. Haha. Anyways, I have not clue what you are really talking about. I got to hand pick my roommate, I guess that is a bonus with foreign kids that don't show up. Tell you what I'll do. I will call your room and yell at her. Wouldnt' taht be hilarious. I mean, she has no clue who I am so it wouldn't make a difference.

It's part of the college experience to have a nightmare roommate issue. I had two psycho ones (one that had 2 abortions during her freshman year and actually asked me for money to pay for one of them).
So, suck it up and learn to rely on your other friends. At least it's not a permament situation.
Now that marriage roommate, on the other hand...

Hi Emily,
My condolences on your roomate situation. I can sympathize with you, last year I had the roommate from hell. What was wrong with him you ask? Well, he never bathed and thus accrued the most noxious of odors ever to afflict my poor olfactory glands. He was loud, messy, and annoying, stayed out till at least 3 a.m. every night, he would come in at all hours and turn on the tv while I was trying to sleep. He scared my friends away from my room, and constantly told me how smart he was, contrary to all evidence as he proceeded to fail every class. He would eat my food, take my things without asking and most disturbing of all, looked at porn on the internet. He had what would politely be called a weight problem, but in realty was just a massive pile of lipids. Walking in on him viewing smut was just not pleasant. I got through it. Have courage you will make it. This year I have a single room in the dorms and it is fantastic. I like your blog, but if your goal is indeed to have the best in your family you need to at least improve your profile.
Have an excellent Christmas break with your family.
