Being a college student has it perks. You get that sense of freedom from your parents for the first time and get a taste of how to be independent. There are certain experiences you can only get while you are in college. Meeting new people and learning how to be independent. But everything in college does not always be all glits and glamour.
Living with other people you have never met before can be a handful. I am currently dealing with a roommate that does not respect the ground that I walk on. i am a friendly person and don't care for violent confrontation but if it comes down to it i have to protect myself and my home. i pay rent just like he does and i believe that the house should be clean and my opinion should be respected. i dnt want people to come to the house and see a house full of trash and clutter everywhere, and at the same time i dnt want to be the maid of the house and clean up after everybody because the wont. I am generally a nice person but sometimes my temper gets lost dealing with this one. I also live with two other people and they feel the same way about this guy. We constantly have to tell him to clean up after his mess in the kitchen like doing the dishes or taking out the trash. Sometimes it gets as bad as he would cook my food and not clean up or offer me any. I usually do not seek to take the violent route but I have been considering it. His friends that he brings over are just as good as him.
Another thing I was not expecting when I get to college is the high amount of work. Yes I knew college work was going to be hard but I did not expect the high volume and amount of work and it seems to overlap and be due at the same time. My school work and my dealing with the problem with my roommate can get the best of me sometimes. Having to balance school, roommates, the little bills i have and a job can become stressful and frustrating. this will drive even the strong crazy sometimes. but when you do something positive about things in your life it makes you stronger as a person and bring comfort to yourself.
