so i live in a dorm that’s pretty much me and 3 other girls. however one of the girls (A) is so AWFUL to put up with that her roommate (B) is never home, and A has had 2 other roommates that moved out within a week of being in the room with her. She is loud, obnoxious, racist, and just an all around nuisance.
She doesn’t clean her dishes and leaves them in the sink, once for about 11 days. she acts like cleaning her dishes is my job since i agreed to clean the kitchen (i thought it was counters, stove, and mopping) she is always on the phone with her friends at all hours of the day AND night always loudly screaming and banging on the wall that our rooms share so i pretty much never get enough sleep. when i text her to tell her to be quiet she ignores me. one time i had to physically knock on her door to tell her to be quiet and that worked for like, an hour. however the only time it’s peaceful is when she’s away for the week at her parents house (they live around 15 mins away— why is she even here in a dorm?) i try to remind myself that at least i’m not in there with her. the girls who were in there had to deal with her loudness AND her horribleness. she has written love poems for her current roommate B, and had a previous roommate she would make racist remarks to. all in all it could be worse.
so basically i can’t sleep at night and when i do fall asleep… it’s short lived because my OTHER roommate (C) will come home at like 3 am or so and immediately crank the thermostat up to 86. i’m not sure if my room traps heat or something but it always feels way hotter than 86 when she does this. i can’t sleep when it’s that hot so if i struggle to fall asleep because of A until 2 am, i’ll get an hour of sleep before C gets home and cranks the heat. for reference i keep the a/c (a doesn’t touch it and b is never here) at maybe anywhere between 67-70. that’s the only range where my room won’t get disgustingly hot and imo doesn’t affect everyone else because obviously it’s not MY thermostat. however C doesn’t care. and will continuously turn it back to 86 (sometimes 80 or in the range of 80-86) throughout the night until SHE falls asleep. i try to wait for her to fall asleep to go change it back because it won’t wake her up to be too cold. and for clarification i have two fans in my room and i keep the window open and it’s still hot. sometimes i just wanna cave and buy her a space heater
so yeah. i’m miserable. i put in a room change request and i haven’t heard b
... keep reading on reddit ➡I grew up in an old house that had a lot of glass. This meant that whenever there was a natural event, you could feel it. You could hear the wind howl, hear the rain hitting the roof, take a look outside and watch the whole world vanish in a white vortex of snow.
You just don't get that in an apartment. Sure, there are windows, but there isn't the feeling of vulnerability mixed with comfort that comes from a house. It's kind of a bummer, especially if you're in a place without many plants or animals outside.
freshman here! i was put in a dorm on the north campus, morrow house to be specific. is there anything i should know ahead of time about this house? pros and cons or anything! it seems to be a smaller residence hall, which i'm glad for- still, if there's anything else i should know about this hall, i'd love to gain some further insight.. like distance to library and classes and such? thank you!! :D
I got into a dorm, surprising because it’s covid. I was really excited because I really needed to leave where I was. But campus life is so incredibly lonely right now, especially for someone starting half way through the year. I hardly see people in my building, not even in the halls. Not even someone from the residence services has talked to me, it’s been almost a week. Classes are online.
I went to the campus bar tonight, the bartender started a conversation with me. It’s the first time someone has spoken to me in person for the last few days. I’m a chatty person, I like to socialize and I want to be around people. Just feels like there’s a steel wall between me and everyone else. It’s disappointing.
Why do people just sit in the hallways on the floor and block the entire hallway?? There’s literally a nice sized lounge right above us but no they would rather sit on the dirty floor in front of my door. I have a paper to write I don’t want to hear these fucking idiots screaming outside my door and looking at me like I have three heads when I leave my room to go to the bathroom. I literally have to step over them and when I do they’re all like “sorry”. Well if you’re sorry then why do y’all keep doing it?
Why do people act like they’re still in high school? Seriously grow up.
Am I the only one that does this? Just curious.
