My college roommate troubles
It was on my mind as soon as I was accepted to college. Who would my roommate be? Everyone knows that having a great college roommate is absolutely essential right? I was so nervous as I waited for the envelope from my soon-to-be school with the name of my new best friend.

But somehow things changed once we moved into our dorm room. I had more problems with my roommate than I would have imagined. She was so messy (and I’m no clean freak) to the point where my room would literally smell from the hallway when I got back from class. She just sat there all day watching soap operas, not going to class and inviting her much older boyfriend to hang out in our room, my room! It was awful.

She didn’t think that the living situation was working for me and I had to agree. But move out? Where was I supposed to go? This wasn’t how I envisioned my first 6 weeks of college.
