I already don't like my future roommate

So, I'm still in Spain anyways, and I called my dorm yesterday to ask them to hold my room for another week or so, just in case I am going back to school this Fall.. but my new roommate sent me a message on Myspace (by the way, this site is becoming worse and worse - hadn't gotten on there in like a month, it was horrible).

*sighs* I really regret not accepting to room with my friend J just because it wasn't in the building I wanted! I guess I was kinda hoping *not* to get a roommate and have the room for myself, like half the people in my building do.

Firs of all, she's only 19, and you gotta be 21 to live in my building, so what the fuck? Second, her Myspace is private, but she seems totally immature just from seeing her pic.. that she very obviously took herself, and her entire page is covered with a pic of herself taking a pic herself. Third, hello ghetto, seriously. Fourth, she read the message I sent her back but hasn't gotten back to me yet. No.

OK I'm not gonna complain if I do get to go back to school this Fall, but.. seriously, she better be this bad in my imagination only.

 

my second year of school i got an email from my future roommate that had me convinced he was a bible-thumper or something close to that. i was very wrong, and we ended up being best friends.

either way, there's worse things to deal with than a shitty roommate

 

You're right.

 

But her name on Myspace, her name above her pic, is "back 2 skuul yes!".. i really can't deal with it!!!!

 

haha

Laety, maybe she's just lame, but nice. There are plenty of people like that.

 

maybe she is a parody of that sort of person.

 

I find that in many cases an instant dislike saves time and trouble.

 

i'm sorry, i messed up.. it's "bak" not back..

i don't know.. i already fear the posters she's gonna hang, her decoration, her music..

wow i sound like a total elitist..

 

haha nevermind, i think you're screwed

 

Don't get yourself all worked up until you actually meet her. Give her a chance, she may be just trying too hard to fit in.

 

i know.. it's true.. besides, i really should shut the fuck up if i actually can go back to school this Fall!

 

do i hear lesbian wedding bells?

i think i do

 

You probably end up being good friends with her.

 

I understand your first impressions of her are not good, but you might be pleasantly surprised when you meet her in person.

I think this whole idea of a roomate is good when you first start university but if you're going back after being there atleast a year you should be allocated your own room.

 

aw. well, to be honest, her comment to you didn't sound SO bad, really. just honest. i woulda empathized. but sometimes people just clash.

 

*sighs* yes, I was there for 3 years now! 6 semesters of dorming.. and i only had a good roommate for a year, she was my best friend, and i had another good roommate for 3 weeks in the summer.. this summer actually.. and the room to myself one semester.. but that's all, the rest of the time, bad roommates!!

 

what's wrong with taking pictures of yourself?! I do it all the time

 

so does laety :leaving:

 

I think you should overpower her bad taste with yours! You should put up double posters, play music double the amount and volume...and the speed, if you're into that.

 

You must find it suffocating being with these people that drive you mad. I couldn't do it, especially not now. I need my privacy.
