First Roommate

No way, he was a Goth tool.

What, like a hammer that is painted black?

I was paired with a nice, somewhat ditzy girl from Illinois. She was so homesick she transferred at semester and I was left with a huge corner room in Old RCA all to myself. I didn't really talk to her while we lived together, and haven't talked to her since, but I am glad I didn't get paired with a TeePee Weirdo! Sheesh!

I went to Simpson College for a year. My first semester room mate and I would talk to each other, but I was too involved with my boyfriend and taekwondo to really get to know her. She decided to move in a room with her best friend.

My second semester I had a German student. She was great, even with her being depressed a lot. Due to that though, we didn't as much as I hoped

Do I get anything... Cause if not... It was not worth it.

I was too drunk to really comment much... I jumped into my loft and said, "that crap better better not be on my computer when I wake up"

I'm a senior and have run into my roommate only a couple times since freshman year. We got along great, we just had different friends.

For some reason I'm picturing this guy...

Actually, your picture is quite close. A little less beard, and nearly white hair, and that that's pretty much him.

Quite sure I can't top the teepee or the gay porn - but as long as we're telling roommate stories... My roomie had just a few more than a couple one night. So he wakes up in the early morning hours, heads down to the head to relive himself, and the next thing we know the whole house is waking up to a kid a couple doors down from ours yelling "God***$&it (name omitted to protect the overtly guilty party) stop pi$$ing on me!

Instead of taking a left out our dorm room door and heading to the john, my good old roomie took a right and walked right into another dorm room. To this day, the only thing he remembers is us telling him about it the next day. His excuse? "Well, I guess I thought I was at home, because at home the bathroom is out the door and to the right!" :biglaugh:

My roomie was a slow learner. After leaving the house to be an RA out at the towers for a year, he moved back in for his final quarter. Wouldn't you know it, he got hammered up one night after a dorm party, and we thought we had him put to bed. A few of us were still in the den working the remmants of the keg, and sure as heck, here comes my buddy, walks into the den, still sound asleep, whips it out and starts whizzing on the keg!

But I gotta tell ya', he was the greatest roommate a guy could have. Had each others back the whole way.

I got paired up with a senior EE major from SE Iowa. This guy fit the stereotype to a tee...thick glasses (reminded me of Stephen King), always studied, never did anything on weekends. He probably hated me because I liked to party a little.

Just the total dork. I mean, who spends their entire college career in the dorms? After the first year, he had one semester left and I signed up to live with him one more semester because I'd get the room to myself after he left and I liked living on that floor. Plus, I had a cousin living two floors up that I could hang out with if I'd had enough of the roomate. Never saw the guy drink a beer. I even gave him one after he finished a major paper he was working on. He just put it in his fridge and it sat there for a couple of weeks before I was thirsty one night and drank it. The guy loved Cheers and the group Boston, pretty much ruining both for me. He ended up marrying this girl that he always went to study with. I was actually shocked that there was any semblance of a relationship there since pretty much had no interest in women or socializing.

I guess it was worth it getting my own room for a semester and staying on the floor, but I never talked to the guy after he graduated. Not a terrible guy to live with, but he wasn't very social. Oh yeah, and he was a hawkeye fan, which put him on my bad side right off the bat.

Last year, Larch, kid down the hall took a leak and puked in the air conditioner one night. The next weekend, he woke up Saturday afternoon with a bike in his room that he didn't know how it got there. That night, the bike went out the window after the front tire was removed. I don't know why it was funny then because it doesn't seem like it, but at the time...

My freshman year in willow we had a VERY active floor. From what I hear, the year before, someone from the floor was the one who lit the dumpster on fire at the VEISHA riots. We also got kicked out of the floor for a night because someone on the floor had been building what he claimed was a smoke bomb...although the rumor is that it was a little bit more than that, we never got to hear the story because he just disappeared. I came back from class one day to find police tape around all the entrances backed up by police who told us we needed to stay off the floor for a while. What I remember being the funniest though was something else. One of the guys who lived in the room next to ours liked to take his showers at night. He also liked to go out on saturday nights and get hammered. One night I heard what I thought was a knock on our door and figured that since my roommate was a light sleeper, he'd go get it so I went back to sleep. Well, it turns out that my roommate was really tired too, so he didn't wake up. I found out the next morning that it wasn't a knock on the door, but someone, a rather drunk someone, opening our door and then closing it. I woke up, looked over at the clock on our microwave, and noticed something strange on our couch. It turns out that our neighbor had indeed taken his shower last night, but then he had left his towel in the bathroom, and went into our room and slept naked on the futon. Being as I didn't want to see anymore of this than I already had, I yelled out to my roommate "Hey, there's a naked guy on our couch". After that our neighbor made a hasty retreat.
