Warning: This has been bottled up for....like 2 months now, so I apologize that it's going to be so long.
Long time since I've actually needed a good ranting session.
I'm a freshman in college, and I ended up with two roommates. Fortunately, we were lucky enough to get one of the very few designed triple rooms, so we have a lot of space. Unfortunately, though, I wasn't lucky enough to get both awesome roommates. Alyssa and I chose to room with each other, after meeting online and deciding that we were very similar and would work well as roommates. Katrina was randomly placed with us. Alyssa and I are extremely good friends, we work better than we could have ever imagined. Katrina, however, is not like us at all, which is actually unfortunate.
I'll preface everything I say with this: It's not only me that sees this, Alyssa and I have the exact same feelings, along with our good friends (who are also friends with Katrina).
Katrina is rude, although she makes it sound like she's kidding. She constantly makes comments about my lifestyle, Alyssa's lifestyle, how hers is superior and she is better than everyone else. One night at dinner, Katrina looked at our plates when we sat down, scoffed and said "Isn't it ironic how you're a nutrition major and that's what you're eating?" I said nothing. Then, later on the phone with her boyfriend (While Alyssa and I were in the room) she said "I eat the healthiest out of the three of us, and Autumn's a nutrition major!" She also comments on the fact that Alyssa and I don't use the gym as often as she does, we don't get as much sleep as her, etc, etc.
She's very anal about everything. Everything. A neat freak, which I, and Alyssa, are not.
Alyssa and I have sacrificed quite a few things since we've been here, because it's not Katrina's way. Katrina can only study when it's completely silent, where Alyssa and I like the tv or music playing. We both find it easier to focus that way, and we're more efficient. If I have the tv on in the middle of the day, Katrina will say after about 15 minutes "Are you still watching that?" when I'm sitting on my bed, doing nothing other than staring at the tv screen. I enjoy watching tv, and I feel like I can't do that in my own room. She also can't sleep with the tv on, and Alyssa and I have both always done just that. Alyssa and I talk about the fact that some nights we can't fall asleep because it's too quiet. But even if the tv is on, right before Katrina goes to bed she says "Okay, tv needs to go off. I need to go to sleep." Without even any respect if it's the middle of something that I, or someone else is watching.
Alyssa isn't here a lot on weekends, so she's mostly excluded from this next part, but it's my own issue. Since we are friends with the same people, Katrina and I end up going out a lot together on the weekends. Yes, to parties, yes, where alcohol and crowded places are involved. If we go to a place I don't know, or I'm not 100% comfortable, I stick with the group. Otherwise, I wander and make new friends. Whenever I try to break away from the group and do my own thing, she finds me every 5 minutes and scolds me for it. I tell her that I'm fine. For the most part, I keep someone I know well in my sight so if I need help, I can get it. She scolds me like she's my guardian and I am a misbehaving child. Come on, that's ridiculous. College is supposed to be when you can do whatever the fuck you want to do.
I'm fed up. She doesn't have the same level of respect that we have for her. We give up a lot, and she gives up none. She's rude to us all the time, and we aren't that way towards her. This isn't fair. We're pissed.
