So I’m sitting in my room, and my roommate comes about around 12am, which is when I started to get ready to go to bed. I was ready to sleep at 12:30 so I could get up at 7 the next day for class registration, but my roommate was turning her alarm on and told me that she was setting THREE alarms to go off at 1am so she could wake up and write an essay due the next day. First off, that’s some procrastination. Anyway. Knowing the alarm’s going to go off in half an hour, and knowing that my roommate has trouble waking up to her alarms, I decide that it’s not really worth it to go to bed quite yet and I stay up for another half an hour until 1.

So around 1, her first alarm goes off. Of course, she sleeps right through it like she does for her alarms every morning. I wake her up and she reaches over to turn it off. However, she doesn’t. She gets her hand on it and fumbles around until she falls back asleep with the alarm still going off. By now, her phone alarm is going off in addition to her clock alarm and she’s still asleep. After five or so minutes of alarms going off and her not waking up, I reach over to turn the alarm off for her before I wake her up again, but right when I pick up her clock, she wakes up. Awkward moment. She turns off her phone alarm and then her clock alarm and falls back asleep. However, knowing that she mentioned THREE alarms, I knew I couldn’t go back to sleep yet. Five minutes later, her phone goes off again, but this time, someone’s calling her (which I presume is her third alarm: repetitive calling). They call three times and I wake her up again, and she picks up.

Relieved that all the alarms have gone off and she’s finally awake enough to talk to someone on the phone, I go to bed. Cool, right? WRONG. She’s on the phone for an HOUR, and I can’t fall asleep to her talking. From what I could tell, her friend was trying to get her to wake up so she could write her essay and the whole time, she was telling him that she was too tired to and that she couldn’t get up. For an hour. Until around 2am.

So at 2am, she hangs up, and I’m irked since I planned to go to bed at 12:30, an hour and a half ago, and I had early class the next day. But whatever. Nothing could be done about the time, now. So I go to bed. Cool.

NOT COOL. When she said she’d get up to write her essay later, she didn’t mean later when she woke up. Nope. At 4 am, her clock alarm goes off, again, and I’m like WTF(W#UROIJF32. Of course, she sleeps right through it. So after five minutes, I get up to wake her, and she turns the clock off and I get back into bed and try to go to bed. Five minutes later, at 4:10am her phone alarm goes off. Once AGAIN, I must get up and wake her up she she can turn it off and goes back to sleep.

So let’s recap. 12:30, I’m read to sleep. Roommate wants to write essay at 1am. She decides at 2 that she’s NOT going to write her essay until 4 am. 4am alarms go off and she does not get up for either of those. Meaning I stayed up an extra hour and a half and was woken up again at 4am so I could wake up my roommate for an essay SHE NEVER WROTE THAT NIGHT. So I was pretty pissed off.

After that, I was good until 7 when /my/ alarm when off. So I get up and register for my classes, which was a tedious process in itself, but this isn’t a rant about that. The rest of the rant pertaining to my roommate doesn’t really have to do with me and should be none of my business, but. Hey, she talks on the phone a lot so I hear it all.

So we go to an expensive private school that isn’t exactly that well ranked, and she’s undeclared. Most of the kids at this school are only here for the accelerated pre-pharmacy or pre-dentistry programs. Perosnally, I’m pre-pharm. My roommate wants to transfer into the pre-pharm program. BUT SHE CAN’T. The pre-program doesn’t allow for transfers. That’s her first right-off-the-bat fail. Secondly, she’s taking pre-calc. I took pre-calc my sophomore year of high school, so she’s already years behind in therms of math. Third, she’s taking retarded super introduction biology, wheras pre-pharms are taking normal general biology. Fourth, she’s not taking chem, which pre-pharms are currently taking. Fifth, she’s planning to take what must be a HUGE load of classes at her local community college during the summer to catch up to a noarml pre-pharm, but here’s the thing. Since it’s pre-health, math and science class credits cannot be transferred MUST be taken at this college. Super duper wtf fail.

But that’s not all. Remember how we were registering for classes? Most people have, at least week or two before that day, talked to their advisors about which classes to take. But did my roommate? Nope. She must’ve forgotten or something. Instead, she spent the next few hours on the phone with her friend trying to figure out which classes to take.

Oh yea. And that essay? It never got written. Not even after she figured out which classes to take.

And don’t get me started on that time her not-actually-boyfriend (booty call?) came over from almost 400 miles away to visit. They were giggling and making smooching noises under the covers until 3am. :/

  O my God, wow that last part I couldn’t imagine. I’m visiting because I typed in “roommate alarm” in google and wow.

  I talked to my roommate a couple of days ago about how his last roommate thought that his alarm was annoying because he lets it go off many times before waking up. This was after it happened while being his roommate.

  At first, it wasn’t that annoying, but today is Sunday and I just woke up after spending 30 minutes of his alarm go off. I don’t even remember how it happened. At first I thought, “WTF, it’s sunday? He goes to church on saturday…” I thought I was being waken up for no reason.

  A couple of alarms later, I beleive, I remembered that he plays in a church band in the mornings for money or something, so I’m like yeah okay fine, he WILL wake up for this alarm.

  I’m really sensative to sound, so I have a fan on to keep the neighbors at bay, but this alarm was going off five or six times. I can’t remember. All I know is that it went off at 7:00 and then the last one I could bear was 7:30.

  Quickly, i got up and took a shower. It’s hard to talk to this kid because he’s so inconsiderate and thinks that it’s not his fault for having an alarm that doesn’t wake him up on the first try.

  Oh yeah and he said about his old roommate “He can’t get mad at something that’s supposed to wake you up.” I am thinking now, which I didn’t then, “Well it doesn’t do a very good job.”

  But I don’t see him thinking of getting a new one or anything any time soon.

  It’s hard for me to talk to him also because he tries to make light of every situation.

  It’s annoying because I don’t feel like any words I say matter to him because he doesn’t care what I say.
