College Roommate Do`s and Don`ts

This year I started attending a university four & a half hours away from home which of course means I have to live in the dorms, that are more like apartments, and have roommates. At first I really liked my roommates, my best friend and two new girls. As time went on I realized how awful it is to live with other people if you get irritated easily. The two new girls I live with, girl 1 and girl 2, are awful in their own unique ways.

Girl 1:
This girl recently moved out and into another room because of how awful girl 2 is but I still need to point out some things about her that drove me insane. First of all, she would get super mad if anybody was even in the living space. It didn`t matter if you were a boy or a girl she didn`t want you here. She plainly stated that if we `all` had fun it was fine but if she wasn`t having a good time it wasn`t. Secondly, she decided we should all do a chore list so they got spread out evenly among us and she never did a chore in the entire time she lived here unless you asked her. And lastly, you could talk about anything at all related to sex around her. She was anti-sex to such a degree that even mentioning a reproductive organ made her want to cry. Oh, and she never rinsed her dishes ever!!

Girl 2:
First of all, she is a slob. We have to put all her stuff in her room if we want to have room to do anything. We have told her repeatedly that we need to keep our shared space tidy and that we don`t care about her room because that`s her space but we still end up finding her crap everywhere. Also, she brings people over all the time without telling us and that would totally be fine if we weren`t naked and about to shower or if it wasn`t two in the morning. She has her boyfriend stay the night all the time and lies about it to our faces when we ask her. One weekend we were all gone and she decided to get super wasted and vomited everywhere. Her sober friend had to clean it up and tell us because she couldn`t even remember doing it. A recent thing that she has done, as in today, is that she broke one of my glass cups while I was sitting in my room completely oblivious to it and then she put it in the cabinet where I later found it and had to throw it away. Its ridiculous that she didn`t think to come and apologize for breaking my things but to not even tell me about it is such a low I can`t even begin to comprehend her train of thought.

In conclusion to this rant of sorts, if any of you are going to be staying in a dorm next year, or are even doing it now, please learn from these two. There are many terrible things roommates can do and its not at all in a million years limited to this list but please know at least this much.
Do`s:
-Keep your shared space tidy
-Ask to use other peoples things
-Respect the people you live with

Don`ts:
-Leave trash on the counter
-Leave all your things in the bathroom
-Bring people over to spend the night with out getting an OK first
-Break your roommates things and then hide them
-PLEASE DON`T HIDE THE FACT THAT YOU GET DRUNK AND PUKE ON EVERYTHING AND THEN LET THEM FIND OUT FROM SOMEONE ELSE HOW GROSS YOU ARE. NOT COOL.
