Not sure what to think about my roommate....

Some how I got paired up with a roommate that had the opposite answers on the housing form.

He never talks so it's manageable because we just keep to ourselves. He sits up on his bunk skyping his gf for about 3 hours a day on week days and anywhere from 5 to 8 hours a day on weekends. I'm not sure what they talk about, but if I walk in the room while he is skyping, he will stop mid sentence and just type the rest of the time I am in the room. Normally he reads until 2am with a book lamp as bright as the main room light and then wakes up at 7:30/8am every morning just minding his own business, slamming drawers shut while taking a few minutes to crinkle the plastic lining of his cereal box for breakfast.

Well it's been a month now and he has added some room decoration that are the farthest you can get from the maturity level someone should have as a 19 yr old college student. He also has my little pony characters that run or in better terms "gallop" across his computer screen at all times.

I've given up on trying to talk to him and trying to get him to hangout with other people on our floor.

idk how I am going to keep from going insane the rest of this semester, all I know is the snow needs to come quicker so I can go ski and get out of my room on weekends.

After reading what you have, it could be worse dude. If the worst thing he does is skype with his girlfriend, then its not bad. Not everyone in college wants to go out and black out every night (not saying you do). Have you tried talking to him?

My advice is just keep being polite and inviting him to do things or say "hey Im going to a hang out here, do you wanna come?" Unless he gets in your personal space or is really disrespectful just try to get to know him.

As far as the posters go...could be worse. I actually thought they were funny.

Trust me it could be worse.
 
does this happen to be your roommate ?

i think i recognize RL trolling, and this is a pretty obvious case ....
 
I pretty much had the exact same roommate, actually mine was worse. Kid smelled like shit, didn't talk to me or any of my friends that i would chill with in my room, and on weekends would sit in the room playing games on his computer for upwards of 12 hours. If it bothers you that much just change roommates for the second semester.
 
take a picture of him for easier judgement.

id try to confuse him. how bout you buy really many pony items. more than he has. then stick and place them everywhere.
 
He actually has a shirt that says that with a unicorn and rainbow on it.

I forgot to mention: I walked in one night to him hurrying to cover up with his sheets while on Skype with his gf. That was the last time I went in my room without hitting the door or making him aware that I was coming in....
 
Hahaha my roommate is kinda silent too. And we share about nothing in common activities wise. I'm a skier, skateboarder, surfer etc and he just likes to watch football, baseball and american dad on his computer. Not exactly the outdoors type I guess. He's an electrical engineer major and I'm biochemistry. So there's not much to talk about. I guess it's better than some guy who brings drunk ass kids back to your room when your trying to study or something. I usually don't even play music through speakers cause he likes "country and rock" as he said, and I'd play a whole bunch of indie combined with rock and such. One time I just played gangstar for the three songs straight, I wonder what he thought of that.

And he probably thinks I'm weird cause I'll read something funny on here and lol hard all the time.
 
Hes a raging brony. At least he minds his own business. Let him do his thing, your roommate could have been much worse. Also give him a brohoof for me as a fellow not as raging brony.
 
Not always the worst thing to have a roommate who's different.
College is all about trying out new perspectives and examining your old ones. Weird roommates force you to see something different and learn how to get along.
Ask him to explain the ponies thing. Try not to laugh, and then tell us. Because I'm still baffled by it all.
 
My roommate would get ripped, eat chefboyardee, then watch spongebob for hours. slept from 5 am to 3 pm, always drunk or high or wreaking of cigarettes.

One time my other room mate and I were doing homework and the other guy started fucking his girlfriend. No warnings either.

He rarely showered and washed his clothes even less frequently.

The first day I moved it (about 2 weeks after class started), I said "Hi, I'm Ted. I'm gonna be your new roommate." his response was "Word, do you like drugs?"

It was a bit of a burden to live with, but he was pretty respectful.

He caught me jerkin it once. I caught him jerkin it once. No big deal really.

 
i think thats the case. but lol at the my little pony things.

WAIT THERE'S A FLAW. if he's a /b/tard then how does he have a girlfriend, he should be, to put it his terms,

That upper-right picture is fucking sketchy.

Made in the style of Chinese communist propaganda with the date september 11, 2011. What the fuck?
 
I've a;ready began assembling my list of ways to fuck with my roomates in college, this thread is surely going to be included.

Also you're getting trolled.
 
probably went like this>going to college soon

>need ways to troll roommate irl

>good suggestions please

thats how they do stories right? well regardless, you now have a troll roommate. Troll him back, or confront him about by just holding up a troll face or something.
 
remain calm, do not panic. he is just as afraid of you as you are of him. make a lot of noise to alert him of your presence and if he confronts you curl up into a ball.
 
Lol you guys are thinking wayyy too much.

As a fellow brony let me tell you

"Join the Herd" = Become a brony

September 17th already passed obviously, it was the day of the airing of the first episode of Season 2 My little pony.

And let me tell you it was

Fuck, my roomy's so anti-social. But he wants to not be and get with girls so I try to get him out. Last night there was like a mini party in the room next door, so I unlock our door so peeps can talk to him just chillin in the room.

I get a text sayin Do not leave that door unlocked again tonight understood? I reply Haha, k then he says No. Not fuckin funny. I want to be left alone for the most part. Unless you have some way to keep me from suicide.

So I'm gonna let him be fucking alone now, I feel like shit and am going to see counseling tomorrow to see if I should do anything.
