Oh Crap! I Have to Live In A Room With Another Person? This Won't Work...

Above: HELLO KITTY HELL

So with all of this college talk, I am starting to FREAK OUT! I already know I am in and going to Syracuse, but there is so much to think about!

· Where will my friends go?

· Will we all still talk?

· Will all of my stuff fit in the room?

· What the freak will my roommate be like?

That last one has me on edge, especially with this new movie highlighting the worst possible roommate. So I have been thinking up my worst possible roommate. My parents asked me to describe her on our visit to Syracuse last weekend. I responded with the following, any combination of even two of these could accumulate into a room catastrophe<(Sorry for the awkward spacing but I cannot figure it out)

· Extreme girly girl

· Extreme tomboy

· Likes cats

· Has a pink room theme

· Wants to coordinate the room (under no circumstance will this EVER happen)

· Has a long distance boyfriend who she insists on talking to all the time

· Majors in interior design

· Gets up any time before 9:00 am by choice

· STEALS MY CLOTHES

· Steals anything….

· Has obnoxious parents that visit the room often

· Criminal

· Cannot speak English

· Went to Chagrin

· Majoring in English/corrects me on my grammar like my mother does

· Tries to act like my mother

· Plays video games

But then I realized… despite my initial OCD with order and cleanliness, give me a semester and the room will be trashed. I will be talking to friends on the phone. My mom and dad will constantly be stopping by with little treats and tickets for basketball games. I might get back into Barbie Beauty Shop-I mean come on girls, those were the days. If I pretend like I can actually speak Chinese, which I’m into right now, I will do it all the time in the room. With this whole tribal Africa mindset, my obsession with safari animals could eventually dull down into cats. My zebra/Cheetah room theme could be taken in the more rocker sense then in the I’m an Africa freak! My late night skype-ing habits sometimes even drive me crazy, but there are just so many people to keep up with. If I see a cute shirt in Sally Sue’s closet, I mean I will ask, but hey double the wardrobe double the fun right? Anyways, I guess we all are the worst roommate to someone right? It’s all about letting people be different, and not turning into a control freak. Luckily for me, Syracuse has this genius room called a split double where a small wall intersects the room into half. That should do the job, but for now, I’m freaking out!
