my roommate sets a super loud alarm EVERY morning at 6:30am just to wake up to lay in bed to scroll on her phone while eating chips in the loudest crinkling bag. Is this grounds for me to move out (obvi there’s other stuff too)

I just feel like I never have a place to decompress and she doesn’t have friends so she’s ALWAYS in the room. I’ve tried just spending all of my day out and hanging out with friends but I’m so burnt out with school and just need a space to take a break but I’m always on edge around her. Her lifestyle is just so different than mine but it ends up dominating the space. Idk what to do other than just move out

I know there’s probably more to this but like if it’s awkward and she’s friends less, like don’t u think u could be friends with her? Like how is she dominating the space? But no I don’t think her being in her dorm (probably sad bc she has no friends and her roommate doesn’t want to be around her) and wanting to eat food before class is crazy. It’s def not grounds to move out lol

If you’ve talked to her and it hasn’t changed, and you’ve brought it up with your RA then I’d say maybe. But you have to have a respectful convo with her and at least one w your RA before you move out (I’m assuming that’s also the rules at your uni)

i am dealing with the same thing rn and I’m planning on moving out. like I get what other people are saying but also it’s not fair that she’s dominating the space and doesn’t ever let you have time alone in YOUR room. also my roommate also sets alarms super early just to shut them off and go back to sleep for 2 hours and it’s driving me crazy

Ok it’s not that she doesn’t have friends, i introduced her to over 13 ppl and she thinks they’re cool too, but she just doesn’t make an effort to hang out. I’d get it if it was like a depressed slump kinda thing cuz I’ve been there but it’s really not. When she’s on her phone she’ll have headphones on but then she talks to her phone, not like on a call, like she comments LOUDLY on every video she watches and it jumpscares me cuz I think she’s trying to talk to me.

and for the food thing, her first class is at 10, she’s eating chips at 6:30am, and then makes actual breakfast at 9. Obvi the food thing isn’t the biggest deal to me cuz everyone’s gotta eat and I get things get hectic

Honestly I think she’s just on the autistic spectrum now that I’m looking back on it
