I am making this article to inform college freshmen to get to know your roommate before you become roommates. Most people think they know their roommate but do you really? Everyone first year in college may be a little nerve wrecking. Its a big step from high school. Some people might be hours or days away from home. Others attended private high schools or home school. So this is a huge step for many. My first year in college was not as bad as I thought. The academic part of college went great, I maintain excellent grades both semester. The social part of college was terrific. I meet new people who I can now call my friends. I was fortunate enough to have a very supportive family who would send me anything I needed. The worse experience I had in my first year of college was my roommate. He was a very cool guy. We talked the whole summer and meet one time in person. We both like sports,fashion,girls and shared the same major.He was a straight forward guy before he became my roomate. We had two different mindset and approaches for college though. We both had 8 AM classes I would wake up around 6:30 to shower and get ready for the day. I would wake up in enough time so I know he would have enough time to shower and get ready. Well a few weeks passed and he never woke up to go to class. I never asked why he didn't wake up and attend his 8 AM class. I started to notice he didn't go to sleep until 4 AM in the morning and didn't wake up until about 3 PM. He would only attend classes about two times a week. The worse part about it is he would come in and take a shower around 3 AM and play loud music while he showered so I would wake up and sometimes not be able to fall back asleep. The other thing is we had two different sides of the rooms. Like most dorms you have two of everything. (Computer desk,chair,wardrobe,closet) The first few weeks we had a pretty clean room. As the weeks past my roommate started to throw his clothes everywhere and just leave his clean clothes and dirty clothes out in the middle of the floor. He would sometimes go play basketball and come back and throw his clothes anywhere in the room leaving a very stinky smell. I came up with idea to rearrange the room so he might be a little more organize. Well that made things worse he would eventually have half of our room covered in clothes. I would asked him to pick up his clothes but after awhile they would pile up again. The worse part of it all is he didn't like to clean anything up. If he ate he would leave the dirty dish wherever the last place he was. Our bathroom was very clean until he started leaving toothpaste in the sink and not cleaning the shower or toilet after he was finished. We had room inspections every month and you was right! I cleaned the entire room by myself the whole year! I am here to say this I loved every minute of college except for being roommates with someone who wasn't mature enough to be living on his own without his parents around. Kids learn to do daily chores like making your bed, keeping your space organize, and having good cleaning habits it will all pay off. You will definitely need it as soon as you get to college.
