Sorry guys, this is mostly just going to be a vent.
This is my first year of college and so it's the first time i've ever had a roommate. I shared a room with my sister for a few years when i was younger, but that doesn't even come close to comparing to living with another person. Now, don't get me wrong, i normally get along great with my roommate and i like her a lot, but there are just somethings that she does that makes me crazy. I think a lot of it comes from the fact that she is an only child and she's adopted, so she's use to getting things her way. First off, she's irresponsible and being irresponsible is a pet peeve of mine. She can't get up on time to make it to work. The other day she called in to work AFTER she was suppose to be there to tell them she couldn't make it in. The reason she couldn't make it in, she didn't get up early enough to get ready. She skips class all of the time because she's 'to tired' or 'she doesn't feel good' I'd believe the 'i don't feel good' excuse if she didn't use it for EVERYTHING. if she doesn't want to do something, all of a sudden she doesn't feel good, and my favorite reason for skipping a class. She wanted to watch a movie that was on TV.
Next, she has no respect and consideration for other people. I can only listen to certain music when she's around, but she can listen to whatever she wants (for example, i hate listening to christmas music before thanksgiving and she knows this, but last night she had to play it) and then, when she wanted to go to bed, i had to change the music i was listening to because she didn't like it. This morning her alarm went off and she gets up to shut if off and tells me that it's going to go off again pretty soon because she needed to sleep longer. I think i slept through the next time it went off, but it isn't uncommon for her to set it early and then it go off like 4 times while i'm trying to sleep. I just think it's common sense that once you're sharing a room with someone and they're sleeping, you shouldn't keep letting your alarm go off. It would be one thing if it only happened occasionally, but it happens a few times a week. Or, she'll be sleeping and i'll be at my computer and her alarm will go off and she'll walk over and hit the snooze, then it'll go off again, and the cycle repeats for like a half hour. It's not as bad when i'm already up, it's just annoying. Then, this morning, she woke me up to tell me she had to turn the light on. Fine, turn the light on, just don't wake me up to tell me. During the week i'm always up before her because i have class before her. I get dressed to the light of my computer screen and before the time changed when it was REALLY dark i would turn the light on at my desk. She has to turn the room lights on. Then, she had to blow dry her hair in the room. She could have easily taken it to the bathroom. I don't mind if she does these things when i'm awake, but when i'm sleeping! I've always thought people were brought up with the decency to not do those things.
Sorry guys, i just had to get it out. thanks for listening

my roommate is 44, we share a 2 bedroom mobile home, and most times it seems like she does everything possible to get on my last nerve! Plus, she is just downright lazy, which drives me up the wall!
