I live in a triple at HU. The beginning of 2006 was GREAT! No problems or issues went on during that first semester. Around Jan. 2007, things went horribly! I don't know what went on during the winter break but Roommate #1 came back crazy!!!
Situation 1: i made a mistake and left my keys in the room because i had a lot of things in my hand and on my mind. My roommate #2 walked in on roommate #1 kissing her "friend" and roommate #2 quickly left to go and retrieve something down the hall. When roommate #2 came back, roommate #1 had locked the door. When I came back around 11:30, I was ready to take a shower and get in the bed because I had an 8:00 am class. Ppl on my hall told me that my roommate #1 had a guy in the room so I wouldn't be too upset. When I tried to knock on the door, she wouldn't answer. I called my friend and she quickly came over. I was hella mad and both of us started beating on the door and she eventually opened the door and stuck her head out. I told her that I needed my things in order to take a shower. I told her "No, I don't want you touching my stuff" and I opened up the door, retrieved my things, and left. BTW, I didn't speak to her for a couple of days.
Situation 2: Roommate #1 was sick and coughing for a very long time and she WOULD NOT cover her mouth. My other roommate and I asked her if she could cover her mouth because she was getting us sick. She did it for a while but she went back to her old ways and we asked her AGAIN to cover her mouth.....*sigh* still didn't work
Situation 3: Roommate #1 saw me lying in the bed sleep and she walked in and pulled the blinds open....every1 at HU KNOWS how big those windows are and I gave her the nastiest look ever because I don't like to talk when I first get up in the morning.
Situation 4: Dirty dishes left in a bag for weeks at a time! When Roommate #1 does wash them, it's in the shower stall (I know right). Oh yeah she walks in the PUBLIC bathroom with NO SHOES on like she is at home!!
Situation 5: Roommate #1 uses roommate #2's tv without putting her stuff back after she uses it. Roommate #1 puts things on top and in front of the tv and Roommate #1 just moves the things out of the way.
Situation 6: Roommate #1 blasts music when she sees me studying or when I walk into the room. Plus she is TONE DEAF!
You guys, I DO say things to her and it seems like she is stuck on stupid forreal!!! She acts like she doesn't understand when I tell her to QUIT with the things she does to me or my other roommate. My RA won't do much but talk to her, and I doubt that will work because Roommate #1 won't listen to me or any1 else of that matter. I am so ready to kick @.. and take names later but I don't want to get put out!! I am counting the days until Freshman year is OVER! Sry its so long..I just needed to vent
Sorry to hear that girl. Sounds like the roomate from hell. I hope I don't run into that situation next year as a freshman... I want to live in a triple also. I thought if you were having problems w/ a roomie you could switch rooms or something?
Yeah u can but things didn't pop off until this semester and i only have 7 more weeks left so i'm trying to stick it out....besides, i love my hallmates!!!
... wow, yall can have boys in the room? and you have actual WINDOWS? man i should have gone to howard.... LOL kidding!
i'm a sophomore at the other lovely HU, and i just got my first roommate ever in November (all freshman year i never had one, and sophomore year the girl that was supposed to be my roomie never moved in). at first she was cool, but then she started watching my Tv without my permission, and forgetting to empty out her nasty trash (she leaves out a lot of open tuna cans, so her side always be smellin like fish)... roommates can be tough, but keep your head up! just a couple more weeks!
LaBellaChica06,
If your RA wont remedy the situation, then go over her head and speak to your GA or RHSA. Write everything down (time and date). If you still dont get any results, schedule a meeting with your Community Director and ask for a Roommate change.
Personally, I dont care if its only 7 DAYS left in the semester....I dont tolerate foolishness. Handle your biz!
