7 Unfortunate Roommate Situations

Roommates can be weird. But sometimes it's just too far.

7 Unfortunate Roommate Situations
Allie Hopkins

Living with a roommate can go one of two ways.

Either you get a really great roommate that you can coexist with. Or one that just pushes your buttons too far 100% of the time. I got along with my roommate rather well. She was the ideal roommate really. The weirdest thing she ever did was lay in the middle of the floor, splayed out, while listening to music. (See picture above. Miss you Marissa!) I am one of the fortunate ones. Others however, were not.

The Bully

Giphy

"My roommate told a guy I had a thing with that she used to bully people in school... I was out of there by the end of the week."

The Irresponsible

Giphy

"My roommate made it a point to tell me no drugs and alcohol in our room, which was okay with me. But then she decided to smoke dabs with her boyfriend in our room and get our room raided the night before I left for winter break. She also lost her key constantly and got the locks changed. She let random people sleep on our floor without letting me know!"

The Inconsiderate

Giphy

"My roommate let random people get drunk and sleep in my bed when I wasn't there without asking. I found random socks in my bed because of it."

The Thief

Giphy

"One night I was already up in my bed working on a paper and my roommate comes bursting through the door drunk and on the phone with someone. She comes in stumbling over anything that was on the floor. I don't know if she didn't know I was home, but she went over on my side of the room and started looking through my desk under my bed. I can see her. She tells whoever she's on the phone with that I have nice makeup and jewelry and that she has been taking my things. I called her out and she claimed she was just borrowing. I never got my stuff back."

The Relative

Giphy

"My grandparents."

The Hypocrite

Giphy

"My roommate used to unplug my electronics because she wanted to 'conserve energy' but would never unplug her own."

The Crazy

Giphy

"Right before I'd come into the room, I'd sometimes hear my roommate talking. I figured he was on the phone because when I came in he had his phone in his hand. But one night he thought I was sleeping and I heard him whispering. I looked over, pretending to be asleep, and he was staring into the mirror. He was talking like he was having a conversation with someone that wasn't there. I futon hopped for the rest of the semester."

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

sisters

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions. So, if you are aware that you’re a Starbucks addict as well, or maybe you need to check to see if you’re an addict, here are seven ways to tell.

College involves a whirlwind of emotions, whether it’s from the stress of an assignment (or twenty), or from fighting with your roommate. It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective. The following aren’t foolproof tips and may not apply to you, but I was able to find success with them (hope you do too!)
