Kids do change when they get to college. D was worried when she headed off that she’d been paired with a partier. Well, she is paired with one who does go out Thursday through Saturday and then spends Sunday in a panic of homework so she can watch “Desperate Housewives”. However, D also goes out far more than she thought she would (although not to the extent roomie does). Hey, it’s college; kids change; one kid’s definition of social might mean 5 kids playing scrabble and another’s might mean pre-gaming before the frat party. D’s about a month into school now and I think they’re all at the point where they are able to say, “hey, I have a big test tomorrow, could you be quiet at 3:00 am when you come in?” or “could you not leave food/water/hairbrush on my desk?”

Let the roomies work it out. They will.
