Ali- "When I first moved in it was fine and dandy. I mean, we got along pretty well, but then I wanted to experience college and she was more of a homebody. So of course our room always had people in it because I invited people from my dorm to come hang out so I could meet people and such, which she seemed fine with. Then we got to our roommate agreement. Which she specificially said no boys were ever allowed to stay the night, or past 10 pm for that matter. But she was very conservative, so I was like fine, whatever. I have a lot of guy friends from home but whenever they came up they had to find somewhere else to stay. But whatever, it was half her room too, so yeah.
But then all of a sudden it was like she always had to be in bed by 9 and disapporoved when I came home later than 9 pm (on weekends too mind you) and she started going crazy. She always read from the bible and left it on her desk, but then she started preaching to me on how I was a bad person because I drank alcohol (on weekends!) and how that was bad that was and how God would punish me one day and all this stuff. So then she started telling me that I was going nowhere in life and threatened me with all these things and then finally she just started going home on the weekends (she was a Flagstaff native), well actually thursday thru monday morning so I didn't have to be around her and she didn't have to be around me. On the days that she was there, she was seriously the cleanest person I had ever met and would yell at me like my mother to get out of bed and clean my room and do all this stuff and I was like, 'I came to college to get away from my mom....thanks'. So eventually she moved out because she went crazy and threatened to push me out the window because I came home intoxicated one night.....and now everytime I see her, I duck around the corner so she doesn't try to bless me."

"My roommate Hayden grew up in Central Oregon, a redneck at heart and a slacker who claimed his major was snowboarding with a minor in getting high. Needless to say, our core beliefs were essentially polar opposites from one another. While we had our good times, we argued almost every day about something neither of us would give in on. By Thanksgiving, I was ready for a change. Apparently, so was he - some friends of mine have told me that one night soon after I moved to a new hall, Hayden decided he wasn't too happy with me. Whether jokingly or not, he decided to carry with him a real samurai sword around our old hall, saying he wanted to "talk to me." He eventually stuck the sword into the roof of the building, where it stayed for at least a week. Turns out he doesn't even remember this incident (I'm sure you know why), but thank goodness I wasn't anywhere near him that night! The seperation was good for us and our relationship improved with the added distance between us. "
Chad 2-"Matt is an entirely different story: a freshman dating a high school senior four hours away, he stayed on the phone with her all hours of the night, doing nothing but laying in bed talking. Sometimes neither of them would say a word on the phone for more than 20 minutes! I also once timed a phone call of his to her. They were on the phone from 5pm until 11:30 that same night. I was across the room, ripping my hair out the entire time. Putting scissors through my eyes would've been more entertaining. He once even started to have phone sex with her while I was trying to fall asleep. I put a quick end to that one. Despite the fact that he was a nice kid, the fact that he never went out or seemed to do anything interesting grated against me - almost as bad as the screamo he blared every day. When his girlfriend and her parents visited on Valentine's Day, I got either the stink eye or the cold shoulder from all of them - he obviously didn't have the nicest things to say about me either I suppose.The day my dorm experience ended was one of the most relieved days of my life."
Oh, college. What experiences!
p.s. I'm going to keep updating this post as I get more stories, keep checking back :)
