Word to the Young about Residential Life //college rant
11 years ago
Know who you're living with (or going to live with).
Because shit down the road can be pretty ridiculous.I have never been so disrespected in my entire life. Well, i kinda have, but I had the choice to not be around idiots and flock off somewhere else.
But the current year with these people are just irritating. Not only are they stupid, but they're in the wrong, doing illegal things of the sort and being very antagonizing, but they come off as ignorant people that seem to intimidate others that don't agree with their beliefs or how they live. I'm not explaining my personal life here but long story short:
If you are moving in with people for college, for life, for anything?
KNOW WHAT THEY DO. Know who they are, gather their background information. Establish ground rules from the start.
Contact local representatives of the place or keep contacts in handy in case shit happens. Read about everything you can about leases, what can be done, the fees for breaking them, etc.
Honestly, this experience I'm having is just ridiculous. Living with these overdramatic kids that don't know common sense about respecting people's property and [s]miserable[s] attempts to harass others if things don't go their way.
I'm stuck in a rock and a hard place because the way things are for certain areas through schooling can have EASIER options relocating or squashing the threat versus areas not through a school. The law is pretty stupid too. You'd think it would help the innocent ones trying to go to it, but no. Gotta jump through hoops and if you fail you live with people you've attempted to report and can't break away from because you can't leave and they're even pissier than Akuma.
Whatever. I'm not gonna rant anymore. Thanks to the personal peeps that gave me advice and stuff throughout this dicky drama so far. I'm done attempting to be nice from this point on. People are trash (not everyone).
My friend and I have no other option but to tough it out and to hold a meeting to make the rules and whatnot like we did from the start.
It was also paired up based on the wonderful grouping system for residents. Loving them results right now.
Good luck with your troubles. I know that feel.
But that was last year, that experience was okay since my friend and I lived with an introvert. Now it's the opposite, not generalizing all the extroverts but this one's a keeper. If I could live alone I so would. Or at least with a friend or two, but money isn't flowing out my bum to do such a thing so easily.
Many many many others know the feel that we share, dragonkin. I sympathize, and keep in mind I'm a very apathetic motherfucker
Hopefully you and your room mates can work something out!
I'm always on the sideline seeing my friends having good time and I'm stuck with... these people. Always been that way in my life u: But I'm totally totally waiting to get some compromise in the future. About....25 more weeks left. UGH
But I can tell you, yes, being a dick is going against your nature. But if you're going to suffer trying to ignore the bully who's trying to get a rise out of you, you might as well bully the bully back, versus seething quietly. As long as you, say, don't drop an anvil on their heads methodically.
-2 butting heads against one another (one has a sound point while the other does -not- [guess which I am?])
-2 middlemen that won't try putting their two cents worth in arguments unless it drags on.
The messiest was probably through last night, but you never know. And that's why I hate when places try to align ducks based through questionnaires. They don't do jack shit, it's like polls where people can fake their way through. We don't know -anything- about these two kids other than the fact that they wanna fuck, get high, and hold parties - y'know. the things we both DON'T do. But the middle men of the 4 of us are willing to have a sit down and talk which I'm all down for. But if nothing happens, whatever. I got education to do, not this angst bullshit.
It really is difficult to those that wish to learn only having that halted by petty college students that hold an impact to living conditions, which holds them back. I'd love to have my own place :c
