For the love.... my roommates bug me soooo much.
They are all 19ish years old, going on 5, and I'm 22 and graduating this quarter. My goal of getting all A's while carrying 19.0 units is incomprehensible to these people ( oh shut up.. i know it's anal.. but so are you.. so no comments on my goal please 🙂 )!!

any time they're home.. the music is blasting and after 7:30pm, the house is full of drunk -@$$ people and I look like the grumpy old lady whose always asking for quiet!! Help me out here.. please tell me I'm not frumpy! Damn... I just need to study for like 3 hours.. they wake me up with music at 8:30am, then wake me up again at 2am when they come home from parties. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH I'm going insane.... and I'm SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO over college and all of this lame crap!!!!!

Heh. I know what you mean. It's hard to study in my room when friend's are knocking down my door. On one hand, I don't want to feel like a complete hermit huddled away, but it's nice to head off to the music library (I'm a music major) occasionally and study in (I think) the last uncrowded, untapped source for peace and quiet at my school.

Best of luck!

We would make great roomates! Go to the library and remember you'll be out of there pretty soon.

haha... I read this much of what you wrote and I thought you were going to tell him to then go out and buy a gun and shoot them all.

I imagine it would be a drag having roommates like that, that is why I have always roomed with people I know and people that are of my major or similar. Very bad idea to room with strangers or with people you know are not as serious about as you... For now, I would go to the library. Heck, I have my own room and a quiet suitemate and I still go to the library to get away from distractions (SDN, chatting, phone, etc).

last year, i had a horrible roomate. she liked to have a permanent party, she'd have at least 2 friends and her boyfriend over 24/7, and they would all sleep over too. their hobbies included smoking pot in the room, watching the tv with the volume turned all the wa yup, at 3 AM, and they also enjoyed talking loudly. i could not stand her, the things she did just made me sick, and annoyed, and pissed off, and angry and it's making me mad just thinking about it. 😳 😡

but this year, i'm rooming with a good friend of mine, and we're getting along great. she also had a crappy roomate, but the problem is we get along too well. we act so silly together, that i can't study in the room when she's there cause we would start singing karaoke, or throwing KIX into each others mouth, or do the hokey pokey, or something stupid like that. so i just go to the library or study labs or something, and i study there. i get it done faster too cause every body else is studying, and there's nothing left to do. just tough it out, and plan a good plot for revenge.

With the combo of those two together, the end of the world could be happening at your back, and you simply wouldn't hear a thing. Mind you -- if you die because you didn't hear the fire alarm, you didn't get this from me. 😛

That's really funny!!! I totally have that combo, but only used it for when I was at my soccer games. In between mathces, I would put my ear plugs in, and my shooting ear muffs and go up into the stadium to shut all of the noise out!! I'm going home this weekend, to get those earmuffs.

🙂

Thanks for all of the great advice.. it's only one more week and then it's over. I had a huge falling out with them last night at midnight, and I think it's okay now...

PICTURE ME:
"Sita, Lindsey, I need to talk to you for a few moments"... proceeds to charge at the stereo and promptly RIPS the cord out of the wall.....everyone stares at girl in her pajamas (me) and looks absolutely terrified

Jlee, you're a cool guy ( i think!)... if anyone needs me to regulate, I WILL be available at 20.00 an hour. My services include:
1. Free B | + < H session lasting approx 45 min.
2. Door slamming
3. Flailing of any sort
4. Peeling out of driveway
5. Fake tears to promote guilt trip
6. Any special requests will be extra charge!!

Ha ha.. I think it's time for me to move in by myself.. I never thought I'd say that. I've gone through the past three years living with 6+ people and loved it.. but I'm definitely done with that.

Jeez.. I never thought I'd be so excited to go to be a doctor, read redbook or southern living and cook dinner for my family while sipping on an expensive chard... mind you frank sinatra would definitely be playing in the background

the flailing motions alone would cover the 20 dollar rate.... 😉
oh and thanks for calling me cool....i need to mark this day on my calendar 😉

My roommates used to play techno music really loud. I bought a pair of Bose Quiet Comfort noise cancelling headsets. They were really expensive, but they get rid of persistent, low noise (like bass). When I was studying for the MCAT, I'd go to starbucks and wear a pair of earplugs under the headphones. That worked great. Especially when the emplyees were yacking or running the frapuccino machine.

I know what you mean. Freshman year I had a roommate who blasted his East bay rap beats 24-7 and smoked weed every night. Needless to say, I didn't get very good grades that year and he is now kicked out of school. Anyway, I think having studious roommates is very helpful to the gpa.

 

[PreMedAdAG]

I'm at home with mom and pops now.. ahhh. peace at last.. I just got 400% more done in two hours here than I got this entire week up in Davis..

Thanks for the humor in all of this...............

bored and don't want to study for finals!!!

stalling..................

okay. I'm out!

haha well at least your place is clean then 😉. its more than what i can say for most of my friends' apartments...

Go to Shields and bury yourself in a corner...they have nice isolated desks there. They shut down the Denny's that used to be an awsome place to sudy but the Seasons there might still be open 24hrs. I had annoying roomates in the past too so I just never studied at home. They cant help being annoying so avoid them when you have shyt to get done. I could never study with earplugs cause you can hear yourself breathing and that annoys the crap out of me as well. Anyways, good luck.

All these roommate stories = why a single is the way to go.

I suffered through 2 horrible roommates for the past two years of college and got smart and got a single. I don't think i would have been able to handle pchem without my refuge that i have now.

Anyway, I feel your pain, guys.
