If I had the chance to choose who my freshman year roomie would have been, you know who I would have picked? Celebrities. Big time celebs.

College Q&A: End Of The Year Roommate Issues
Alright, I know this is coming really late (there’s only like 2 weeks left of school) but my roommate is driving me crazy. It’s like all the annoying things she did all year that I ignored are bubbling over and I want to punch her. She’s messy, she’s loud. Like, underwear on the floor messy. I didn’t want to say anything to her because we don’t have any time left but with finals and everything I am really stressed and my room just isnt the sanctuary that I need it to be.

If someone were to ask me what was the worst day of my life to date, I would have to take them back to freshman year. I was young and naive and spent the better part of that fateful day being scammed by a nice man on the telephone who told me I had won a diamond watch and a trip to Hawaii.
