Roomies

So I am obviously in college and happen to be a freshman. As we all know freshman must live in dorms and experience the wonderful world of a roommate. Now I understand a lot of people fall in love with their roommate and become best friends forever. Yet, that is not going to be my roomy and me some day. We are both swimmers so we are both teammates. From the first day I met her I could tell that she hated me. Before the simple words "Hi" could come out of my mouth she had given me the death glare. Through the weeks she has done so many nice things for me. (sarcasm) As in: hide my stuff, tell all my friends mean things about me, ignores my presence at all times, puts head phones in her ears when i try to talk to her, tells the coach lies about me, and well is just a meanie. She is the strangest person I have met she is extremely friendly to every single one of our other teammates besides me. She hugs them and laughs around them but pushes me away when I'm with them too. I have never had someone hate me this much before so it is weird to deal with, exspceially since we have to live together. I can't switch because that would cause friction the rest of my four years on the swim team. So, I must grin and bear it and try to ignore her as much as possible. Yet, I know people probably have it much worse then me out there. My friend's roommate tried to gage my friend's ears in the middle of the night. So, she has it bad too. If anyone wants to vent or tell any horror or happy stories about them and their roomy please tell. I'm interested to find out how others are doing with living with strangers.

  1. wow this stinks! You said that your roomate is a team mate!? I am an athlete as well and love my roomate. she and I get along so well and I am defanitly not having the kinds of issues that you are. Did you have any input in your roomate? I was actually told to not room with a team mate simply because of the amount of time that you spend with them any way. It really sounds horrible, and you might want to have a talk with her.

  2. I'm so sorry! This must suck for you! I don't know what it would be like to live with someone you can't trust. I can't imagine how difficult it must be. Why don't you just ask her why she doesn't like you? You know? Stand up to her and see what is in your head. Ask her what you did wrong to make her hate you so. I hope it works out!
