So, if you are a close friend or have any idea of what is going on in my life right now, you would know that the girl I shared a room with at my apartment moved out and transferred to the University of Michigan. So she moved out of the room. However, I still have 2 other roommates who still share their room. And when we all moved in we signed a legally binding contract that states that we have to pay for 12 months and if we end up moving out that means that we need to find a replacement who will continue to pay and we need to make sure that the leasing office is aware of that as well. So that there is no confusion when someone else is living here and not the original signer of the papers.

My roommates and I, including the girl, knew that if any one of us were to move out that we would responsible for their portion of the rent. Especially since there were already plans of moving out at the end of the school year and seeing if we could find subleasers and such.

Everyone was under the assumption that as soon as that girl left she would pay the rent and she kept saying that she would have to pay rent in 2 places, the apartment here and her apartment in Ann Arbor. Except when it came time to pay January's rent, we noticed that her credit card information disappeared and we were stuck with a $600 balance on the account that somehow, we would have to pay. Except the money wasn't ours to pay. Yes, we still live here but her name is still on the lease which means she's responsible for her half of the rent.

As you can see, this whole thing is such a stressful process that it caused me and my roommates to be so negative and hurtful towards each other and ourselves and even including her. I mean we have every right to be hurtful towards her but it's like she is not even receiving our messages. It turns out she has blocked us on every single platform.

Even though her behavior is childish, we have to remain adults and positive. It might be hard at first especially because we didn't think that something like this was going to happen and trying to stay positive is that last thing that we want to do.

Whenever you're feeling like the situation is getting out of control, take a DEEP breath. Try to think about the positive things in your life and make sure that you pinpoint those before going crazy.

Another thing is to calculate your assets: good thing your roommate didn't kill you in your sleep because she resented you so much. At least you're still alive, be happy about that.

And lastly just believe: believe that God is on your side and will do whatever he can to make sure the right thing is done and in this case, it means making sure that we win in court.

Good things will happen to those who wait.
