<p>omg,ruuude iwould have been like screw you man</p>
<p>lololol. I hope that I like my roomate. It would be horrible if I had to share a room with somebody I disliked.</p>
<p>Strained, but I had an atypical situation. I didn’t start off the year with a roommate because the girl they had assigned me decided to go somewhere else last minute. So I got used to being alone and having my own room. Then after 2 months, the placed someone with me while I was away for the night and when I came back, my RA had moved all of my things and the girl and her family were all in my room. Needless to say, I was really, really ****ed off. And I never really got over it. We weren’t really compatible people and she could probably tell that I would rather be alone. So things were pretty awkward all year because we didn’t have any mutual friends or interests or anything. I was so glad when the year was over.</p>
<p>My room mate as a freshmen… our first interaction was when she called me a week or so before move-in weekend. She only called to tell me that since I was a freshmen and she was a sophomore and therefore I would be moving in first, she would like the bed by the window. That was pretty much it. Over the entire semester we roomed together (she thankfully dropped out after that) we probably said 5 sentences to each other. I don’t know her feelings on me, but I hated her with a passion. She left the window open all the time in winter no matter how often I closed it or told her to close it, so it was pretty much below freezing the entire winter. I was surprised we didn’t burst any pipes. She also slept ALL day, skipped classes, and then stayed up all night watching tv, and eating so I didn’t get any sleep so I would end up sleeping in and missing classes.
My second room mate which was during my 2nd year (this past year), contacted me first over facebook through a message. Didn’t even know we had assignments yet, but she told me she was my room mate, told me a bit about her, and asked me some questions as well. Our first face to face interaction, I believe we ended up talking for two hours or so. Helped by the fact we had to fill out a room mate agreement together. For a few weeks we’d end up eating lunch together on the weekends, we went to some campus events together, but slowly that dwindled since we didn’t have a lot in common, and we both had high school friends in college with us that we hung out often with. Only times we really talked later on in the year was when I was helping her and her friend with their Meteorology homework since that’s my major.</p>
<p>My first interaction with my first roommate was really awkward. I was a junior and she was a freshman, and she came into the room with her parents and a bunch of her high school friends who were fellow freshmen. She had her stuff unpacked within five minutes and was about to run out the door with her friends without bothering to introduce herself to me, much less ask if I’d like to tag along or any other kind of appropriate pleasantries. Her parents were trying to nudge her in that direction when they thought I couldn’t see them but she didn’t catch on, and I just let it go. I figured she was just young and excited and we’d just get to know each other later, I made polite small talk with her parents until they left, then I went back to whatever I was doing without another thought about it. But we never did get along at all… I didn’t have to be her friend but it would have been nice to be cordial. It just wasn’t a good match I guess. She was probably a nice girl… just not very mature, and we clashed.</p>
<p>I had a single senior year and with the way things are working out post-college, I don’t think I’ll ever have to have another roommate again. Thank god. Not a social experiment that went well for me!</p>
