    You are a terrible roommate. Let me help you! My freshman year of college I was placed with a highly incompatible roommate. Here is my elaborate and extremely petty revenge story, and how I got to move out.

    The players (all 17-18f, all living on same floor except for Dasha): Me Colleen my roommate - Karen friends with Colleen, roommates with Svetlana Svetlana - Karen's roommate, close friends with Dasha Dasha lived on different floor with a truly awful roommate Jane my friend and future roommate Bonnie - Jane's roommate with health struggles

    The struggles: Me and Colleen are very incompatible and she was very about it. Karen and Svetlana had no problems living together at all Bonnie's I health issues meant that it was not the right time for her to share a room with anyone.

    Dasha's roommate was having similar struggles, but refused to recognize them as such and blamed Dasha for absolutely wild and untrue things.

Like, just go talk to the RA and have her move in. Then Dasha could move in with Svetlana (we all knew about Dasha's issues) and you don't have to live with a rando."

    I knew Karen was a people pleaser, and though she already had doubts about Colleen, she wouldn't be able to resist helping Dasha and making Colleen happy. They spoke with the RA, and by that evening, Dasha was living with Svetlana, Karen and Colleen were together, and Jane and I had our room.

    Karen realized what a nightmare Colleen was and spent the rest of the year miserable, but was too much of a people pleaser to say anything about it. During graduation week, we did a floor reunion and Karen brought up the day we shuffled the rooms and the "unexpected" consequences. I told her they were not unexpected at all. "I was just going to move in with Jane and let whatever happen, but you and Colleen were sitting there being such that I decided you deserved each other. I knew that if I tol

    The look on her face was so classic. Like, she had spent weeks up on me and being mean to me in my own room, and thought that I had made that recommendation out of the goodness of my heart? please.
