"Living With A Whiny Bitch As A College Roommate" - babylonian, on 10/08/2008, -19/+128This article was preachy, one-sided, and obnoxious.
Moderation DOES exist. Being completely closed-minded to all drugs is a terrible attitude for anyone to have. - badwithcomputer, on 10/08/2008, -1/+108drug dealers may not always be the greatest roommates to have but they sure know the metric system inside and out. so they've got that. which is nice, i guess.
- bananasluggy, on 10/08/2008, -10/+108It's the mob mentality, really... dorms are, in a way, like prison. Except you pay out the nose for it... if it's good, it's real good. If people like you, it's sweet. People like you if you don't point out that they're breaking the rules... even if they're keeping you awake at all hours, thrashing your stuff, and leaving the door to your dorm unlocked and open (roommates). If you say anything, you're a bastard. Everyone hates you. They'll make your life even more unbearable until you leave, leaving open a spot for some other person just like them to drop in and be just as much of a party freak as them. If you make any comment at all, they feel like their parents are standing there telling them what to do, and the whole point of college is to have fun without Mommy and Daddy (who are paying for all of this, by the way) acting as buzz-kills. It’s like high school, except you have to sleep there too. Everything is a joke. No one is "being serious." If they trash something of yours, they're "really sorry." But they're never sorry enough not to screw up in the first place. If they screw up, it's you that has something wrong with you if you take issue with it (knowing this beforehand makes dealing with those idiots easier. It's like dealing with puppies who pee on the rug a lot... what do you expect from puppies?)
If you have to pay for anything yourself, or have an ounce of maturity, skip the dorms. Take AP classes, go to community college, do whatever it takes to skip your frosh year. It's an utter waste of... everything. The classes are cattle-calls and the dorms are a holding pen for the stupid and clueless. The general view by upper-classmen, when you say you live in the dorms, is, "Oh god... you don't live with... FRESHMEN.. do you?" (Said in the same tone as one might say, "oh god, ***** on my bare feet... and it's got worms in it.")
Dorms are for kiddies who want to pretend to be adults, take crap classes, get drunk, have sex, and basically waste their parents’ money and their own time. It's a shame when a few of them are trying to take their lives seriously because for everyone else, they're a reminder that adulthood is knocking and they'd all rather pretend life is a big party for one more year. Frosh year is a party... sophomore year is an attempt to continue your frosh year.... junior year is spent freaking out and wondering how the hell you're going to pick your GPA up out of the toilet and wondering what majors you qualify for and fearing, just maybe, that you can't hack it... that you may just as well drop out... senior year (if you make it) is spent wishing you'd worked harder, done better, done more, and listened... super senior year is spent doing what you should have done in your real senior year, but couldn't, because you were doing what you should have done in your junior year....
Honestly, people shouldn't jump from high school into college right away... take a year off. Grow up a little. Then go back. You won't be as annoying that way, and you'll get better grades, too. - chicagojack, on 10/07/2008, -6/+79We lived together?!?
- dasbeef, on 10/07/2008, -16/+81drugs are good
they make you do things that you know you not should
and when you do them people think that you're cool - smacksaw, on 10/08/2008, -2/+62I have a friend whose college roommate also got involved in a terrible addiction: GI Joes and Transformers. First, he just had a few in his room. Then people noticed. He sold them to other students. He started going to toy stores, pawn shops and flea markets. Then he began to sell on eBay, as well as buy on eBay. Eventually, the entire attic of their house was filled with toys. Soon he dropped out and sold GI Joes and Transformers full-time, even traveling to comic shows and far distances to trade. He was making $8-10k a month. He dropped out of school. When my friend asked him what he was going to do with his life, he also said he didn't know, but that he wanted to stop. He eventually dropped out of UCSC to sell GI Joes and Transformers full time.
I think he made more money than my friend ever did with two degrees from there and he never did anything illegal...just really, really lame. - jaybol, on 10/08/2008, -2/+60hi RA, my roommate is selling meth can i have a new roommate? if not, no big deal, i can last the rest of the semester, but please see what you can do. thanks.
- casspa, on 10/08/2008, -1/+43Not sure if I'd prefer a binge drinker to a drug dealer, but odds are you'll be getting one of them if you're headed off to college these days.
- TheFuzzyOne, on 10/08/2008, -2/+42Yeah, let's take a vote on the issue of whether Ashur420 is a retard.
- danwallace, on 10/08/2008, -7/+47Anonymous? It should just say "made the ***** up by some dumb campaign to keep kids from partying at college."
- urbandistrict, on 10/08/2008, -1/+40I chose to bury both comments after I read this.
- Ch3n3yTh3D1ck, on 10/08/2008, -5/+43FAKE and TERRIBLE
- inactive, on 10/08/2008, -1/+38Yeah, I've done my fair share of drugs in the past. But getting ripped out of your ***** mind, being an ***** to people you have to live with, leaching off mommy and daddy to support your drug addiction and living like a wreckless piece of ***** isn't "opening your mind a little". It's called being a dick.
- b9gh47q, on 10/07/2008, -3/+39Hmm 49% of college students binge drink or take illegal drugs...not sure if that's more or less than I would have thought :S
- rdmty, on 10/08/2008, -0/+36My roomates dealt enough just so that they could smoke for free. It was all fine and dandy till they became cokeheads and spent all their student loans and ***** on coke -- I had to pay like $2k-ish for rent so that we didn't get evicted and the ***** of course just skipped town shortly after.
Oh and our place got robbed once because my idiotic roomates broke down our door because they got locked out (this was right before Thanksgiving break) and didn't bother to call the landlord to get it fixed, and one of their customers knew it was broken and just went in and jacked all our stuff. Luckily he was a moron too and somehow got caught whilst robbing the place. - Asianwaste, on 10/08/2008, -1/+36So sayeth, the man that freaks out when people bury his internet comments.
- hellspossession, on 10/08/2008, -2/+37and they seem to bring the hottest chics around...
- missusjones, on 10/08/2008, -6/+36"This article was preachy, one-sided, and obnoxious."
and probably mostly fictitious. written by a D.A.R.E. member, to scare us little kiddles. - tchiseen, on 10/08/2008, -1/+30I know plenty of people who took a year off between High School and University and are still annoying.
- Navicerts, on 10/08/2008, -2/+30I doubt that's accurate. Binge drink? Come on; it's at least 80%
- Jimbozu, on 10/08/2008, -4/+32This article reads like some ***** horror story from DARE. If your roommate is selling weed they aren't rolling in cash, they're gunna be making enough to smoke for free and maybe make some money on the side, they're definitely not going to be able to afford giving that ***** away to everyone for free. If he's trying to break into the coke game there's not gunna be one incidence of some angry ***** banging on your door, it's going to be a weekly (those cokeheads need their fix, and those dealers who's turf your moving in on are NOT going to be happy). And if the RA knows that someone is smoking in the bathroom, hes not going to confront the guys roommate, hes gunna confront the guy smoking in the bathroom, they have the authority to ***** his ***** up.
I'm not saying that this isn't true, but it doesn't sound particularly realistic.
Oh, and this guys a bitch. If you have a problem with what one of your roommates is doing, ***** confront them about that *****. Especially if they're dealing drugs OUT of your room, if the dealer is stupid enough to be doing that ***** without his roommate's consent he DESERVES to get busted. - SillyRabbits, on 10/08/2008, -4/+31I hope people don't really take your advice. Just because you were slow to mature in high school doesn't mean everybody was. Why on earth would you care what upper classmen say about freshmen? Everybody is a freshman at some point, and you should be hanging out with other freshmen anyway (instead of trying to seem 'cool' to the seniors). I don't know which college you attended, but I've never heard of upper classmen taking that attitude (other than in jest). Also, often times the worst thing students can do is take a year off before college. They get out of the habit of studying, they get used to hanging out. Then, after a year is over, they find an excuse to put it off another semester, then another semester. Before you know it, they are 22 still saying how they are planning to start in the fall semester (when they could have already been finished with a full 4-year program).
- mistere123, on 10/08/2008, -0/+26something like that happened to me and I was still living with my family
- jdaw4210, on 10/08/2008, -4/+30This is a really ***** article. Why is it on the front page?
- urbandistrict, on 10/08/2008, -0/+25Your life seems to suck.
- inactive, on 10/08/2008, -13/+37I lived with a pot dealer for a while...
...and it kicked ass! all the free dro i could get my hands on...he had crazy bongs, pipes, all sorts of papers and a vape! I just stayed blazed and played Doom3, HL2, CS, Quake4, etc...
but that time is over and have to not be a loser
but it was fun - Spudster, on 10/08/2008, -4/+27Not sure about you, but my drug induced days of residence were bloody awesome. Highly recommended.
- inactive, on 10/08/2008, -3/+26Pepsi is better than Coke
- qwertydvorak, on 10/08/2008, -5/+26"Be careful who you are living with!"
i know. if you aren't careful you could get stuck with that narc in the story... - HyphySoul, on 10/08/2008, -6/+26I agree and disagree with you, but I'm too high to explain why
*****, I don't even know why I read that whole thing tbh - ScannerMobs, on 10/08/2008, -3/+23That was the gayest thing I've ever read.
- str3ama, on 10/08/2008, -3/+22"he would get strange Beautiful girls"
sounds more like motivation to become a drug dealer then a PSA message. The book "Go Ask Alice" called, it wants it's ***** story back. - Grin23, on 10/08/2008, -1/+19frankly.... id prefer the drug dealer...... cauise then you can extort money from them to ensure thier "safety", binge drinkers have no cash.
- skionxb, on 10/08/2008, -3/+19Lol, our education system is the best :-) Welcome to the real world ladies and gents!
- Kosh, on 10/08/2008, -0/+16People. PEOPLE that SUCCEEDED in burying you.
- 80hd, on 10/08/2008, -2/+18Don't you love the way that bottom feeders seem to get the most attention?
- jasonnazar, on 10/08/2008, -1/+17I would have much preferred a drub dealer to some of the roommates I ended up with...
- kashk5, on 10/08/2008, -1/+16I have a friend like that. His roommates loved him, and so did we when we went to visit
- kashk5, on 10/08/2008, -3/+18He's an idiot for not having gotten in on that action
- sasquatchcrotch, on 10/08/2008, -0/+15Free drugs or "Hey man can I borrow a twenty, I need a case and some cigs"
- ninjarabbits, on 10/08/2008, -2/+16"He would get visits from strange girls, beautiful girls who he would bang that night then never see again. Most of them brought little gifts: cigarettes, teddy bears, etc."
I know I should condemn this drug dealing roomie, but... - VaporBro, on 10/08/2008, -1/+15I heard they suck Live...
- jeenyus2004, on 10/08/2008, -1/+14Moderation does exist, on that point you're right. The point of it all was that his roomie didn't have moderation. I do agree that he was a little preachy but I think there's a lesson for everyone in it. "don't be a ***** idiot"....that's the lesson I think....
- HyphySoul, on 10/08/2008, -1/+13although not a good experience for that guy, he is envied by many others who want that kind of roommate...
- charlie55, on 10/08/2008, -2/+14this article isnt supposed to be a true story is it? please. i dont like when people write stories that could be interesting but make too much stuff up until you realize they are lying, then the story sucks.
- Vorphlack, on 10/08/2008, -2/+13"OMG! Don't even think of smoking pot or you'll ruin your life and go to jail and DIE!"
...clearly fiction because I used to sell drugs & I rarely had beautiful girls bringing me gifts and screwing me. ...rarely. - hellspossession, on 10/08/2008, -2/+13haha, it was a bad attempt then! ...banging a different hot chic every night and never seeing them again.... LOL, i think that might entice some
- nj10ii, on 10/08/2008, -2/+13You weren't dealing coke then! College party girls dig it, and will ***** for it!
Errr, so I've heard, from a friend who's cousin was into that kind of thing.... -
