Comment by jpgcharity on September 16, 2011 at 2:52pm: Maybe you could come up with a more legitimate reason, like an allergy to anything she does that she can't stop but you can't live with (because you're legitimately allergic of course ;) ). I don't know how often she makes rude comments about your relationship with Grant but I'm sure if that occurs enough and you feel victimized enough then eventually they will have to accept it as a legitimate reason that maybe she is somewhat psychologically or verbally abusive. I'm sure if you pick one major thing and make enough of a fuss about it the dorms will do something for you.

Comment by Paula (was Capricorna) on September 16, 2011 at 6:54am: Cordial but politely distant is good.

Is there anything you can legitimately claim as a reason? like does she smoke? you could claim that you are having a reaction to the cigarette residue. Just brainstorming.

I guess the advice by jpgcharity is really the best - especially if you only have until Dec 16th - the time will pass quickly.

Comment by jpgcharity on September 15, 2011 at 11:25pm: I hate to be pessimistic but I went through a similar situation last year (with all three of my roommates) and the student housing I was living in wouldn't let me change roommates or rooms for a reason like that :/. I hope your dorms are better than that but if not I suggest one amazing sleep mask and lots of packs of ear plugs, seriously they provided for the best nights sleep I got in my room last year. As for the obnoxious part, unfortunately there will never be anything to do about that but I find earbuds can help provide a world of your own whether your doing HW, Skyping Grant (who definitely is not cheating on you), or doing anything else really. I hope the dorms will do something for you but if they don't maybe just try to do everything you can outside the room (hang out with other friends on campus, join a club for the semester, study in the library etc.) and when your forced to be in there I would suggest just being cordial yet politely distant.

Comment by JessicaB-Sailor's Sweetheart<3 on September 15, 2011 at 10:36am: Yeah I think I will. I have to meet with my floors resident advisor tonight anyway. I mean I'm only here til December 16th, but its still costing me a LOT of money and I should have someone tolerable. Or switch to a private room...

Comment by Lovemynavyson (Ship02/DIV933) on September 15, 2011 at 10:36am: Catch you all later........Got a bouquet made for the wedding...messing around yesterday with the flowers and colors...the colors are soooooooooooo pretty - different shades of purples with teal/turquise!

Oh, I love weddings.........and its sooooooooooooooo much fun being so involved with my daughters wedding! I love her attitude...she told me a few things that she would like and the colors, I consulted with her and she's like, 'Mom, just do it I know it will be nice." There's only been a few things she didn't like or want a particular way...Considering that she is a 'fuss seee' girl, its been rather incredible! :)

Comment by Paula (was Capricorna) on September 15, 2011 at 10:34am: Get to work on finding other living arrangements. Are you in campus housing? Go to the housing office. Trade with someone. It is not acceptable to lose sleep. You need to have a room mate with a compatible schedule or your grades could suffer. A lot of money is being invested in your education - don't let this roommate impact it. JMO.

Comment by Lovemynavyson (Ship02/DIV933) on September 15, 2011 at 10:30am: Sailors wife...heheheh.......this is the first one that I had to submit ahead of time...all my other classes didn't require the outline until the paper was submitted along with the title page, table of contents and bibliography! ugh.............

JESS!!! OH my GOSH!! That is pathetically rediculous...Sounds not only selfcentered, but a narcissus!!!

I agree with Paula - Get the heck out of there...not only will/is it effect your sleep but concentration during class for lack of sleep!! I would go the route Paula suggested and tell them schedule conflict...

And why on earth would she say such rediculous things about Grant...like she would know???? I'd say 'whatever'....My married son lives in FL and before he got married, some young sassy girl accused him of sending text requesting pictures...We actually laughed! She was told produce the text...Never did...Of course, Stacy knew better...for one He absolutedly NEVER gave her a reason to think such stuff was going on...I'm not so dumb to think that things shouldn't be investigated at times....but that was just pathetic!

Comment by JessicaB-Sailor's Sweetheart<3 on September 15, 2011 at 10:27am: After our little fight, my roommate took all her bedding and slept in the other room. This is the first night since I've been here that I actually slept until MY alarm went off(: Im sure it will be a nightmare when everytime gets back from class though. I was up til 4. Seriously considering going home early for the weekend...

Comment by Paula (was Capricorna) on September 15, 2011 at 7:21am: Get out of there!!! She's a biyatch and you don't need that in your life.

Actually, don't think of her that way or attack her personally - just be pragmatic and say that your schedules conflict. It doesn't need to be personal. That way you can hopefully not burn bridges and end the experience without bitter hatred. Nobody needs to make enemies - they happen enough without trying.

Comment by JessicaB-Sailor's Sweetheart<3 on September 15, 2011 at 3:29am: So what do you do when you live in a college dorm and absolutely despise your roommate with every ounce of your being? Mine and I finally had the huge blowout that has been brewing for weeks. She has no respect for other people at all, its 220 am, I have class tomorrow and she is still "working on a paper". Loudest paper ever. She keeps doing crap like this. Also she has class three hours earlier than me in the morning. Makes no attempt to even try to be a little quiet. I can barely stay awake for my night classes because I barely get sleep because of her!!! Also she will always tell me things like Grant is cheating on me. I mean who does that?! I know he never would but still. Sorry I'm exhusted and fuming and needed to vent to somebody.... But seriously should I look into a roommate change? I'd have to re move everything but this girl us so obnoxious and self centered, she walks around kissing and rubbing her own boobs!!! Help!
