My Roommate

This post is dedicated to my awesome roommate, who unfortunately got suspended from college. Sorry, Cindy.

My roommate is awesome. She's very nice to people and gets along with everyone very well. Unfortunately, she didn't do so well the first few quarters of college because she hung out with the wrong group of people. Don't get me wrong, she's really smart but made some poor decisions.

She became my roommate at random.  I applied for Summer Bridge because I wanted to go onto English 1A, but I didn't want to because I was already taking two classes at college, in the summer. I know right, TORTURE!!! Anyways, so apparently they already had my room ready and all, because Summer Bridge was like almost every day, and I live in LA and it's like a 2-hour drive to college.  Anyways, so she spent Summer Bridge without a roommate. :( Sorry Cindy! But fortunately, she made friends, and had a roommate because her friend, who lives 40 minutes away stayed with her and stuff.

So then fall quarter started, and it turns out, we're really similar in our interests and stuff! It was really awesome having her as a roommate, but unfortunately she was only my roommate for about two quarters, because she got kicked out of UCR because of her low GPA. She made really bad decisions and hung out with the wrong people. But we all do that at one point.

I actually still keep in touch with her, and she's doing pretty well. She goes to a community college and works part-time at Coffee Bean. She even gave us free coffee! She's really cool! I just wish she hadn't made those bad decisions :( She could've been my roommate for longer :O And I wouldn't have to go through that much trouble later on D:

Letter of Truth

Dear ex-roommate,
You know who you are. I'm not writing this to apologise, so don't get your hopes up. I didn't move out of that stupid apartment because of you. I moved out because your actions were getting on my nerves. And that you assumed that I'd be okay with everything you did because I was your roommate? And because I never said anything? Well guess what, you were wrong. By you bringing your boyfriend over every day, you think it's cute? And you think it's alright that he sleeps over every single day? Oh look, my boyfriend makes me do all this stuff for him, and I clean up after him because he manipulates me to do all this stuff, and I'm doing this because I love him. Yeah, right. He was a fricking douchebag. Never cleaned up after himself, never really was considerate of others, never really acted like a real friend. I don't even know how you can put up with him. I hope one day, you will realise that he is a real jerk and you two break up. I would feel sorry for you but I just don't anymore. Okay, I bring my boyfriend over sometimes, and he sleeps over, but at least I asked. So next time he does something, at least be considerate of others. We had to clean up after his messes. His vomit, his trash, his blown-up pizza in my microwave. And not only that, you were also inconsiderate. I guess you got that from him, huh? You never even asked whose dish rack that was, and just assuming it was there forever, you just used it, and forced me to use the dishwasher. Also, you have a fricking full size bed in the room. Do you know how annoying that is? It's like you're taking up 3/4 of the room, and I can't even complain. Not only that, it's like you have no privacy. Do you know how many times I was basically forced to use the living room because he was sleepin in the bedroom. "I could just sleep on the couch," That's not the problem. The problem is that he just crashes here for like months without feeling any guilt. That's not logical at all. He doesn't even act like a decent human being. Telling the RD was the first step of my plan. I have much more to come. So watch out.
