 Roomies » l by Jean Cl loiter When was the first time you met your roommnte? Was it when you and your best friend were filling out your housing application in your senior year of high school, or at Freshman Orientation, or the day that you moved to UWEC? What exactly makes a great roommnte? There ore several types of roommate relationships found on campus. Three of these are The Best Friends, The Total Opposites, and The Total Strangers Who Can't Fart. Sara and Kathy had known each other since grade school. In high school, they were always at each other’s house. Of course they decided to room together at college. Then they found out what the other was really like. Sara discovered thnt Kathy never picks up her things after she’s done using them. Kathy explained that her mother always did that for her. Kathy realized that Sara got good grades because she really studied! Best friends tend to learn some surprising, and some irritating things about each other when they get out on their own. Todd and Kyle had not met before becoming roommates. Todd was a farmboy. He enjoyed listening to country music, physi- jd cal sports, and school. Kyle was ( from a large city. His passions , included hard rock music, par- . ties, and staying up late. He [ rarely did homework. Needless to say. Todd and Kyle were high- j[ ly incompatahle roommates. Their HA, after listening to constant arguments and complaints for a month, allowed them to get new roommates. Amy and Susan were total strangers who became instant friends when they were forced to live together. Amy and Susan enjoy each other’s company, share the cleaning, and are considerate of the other’s feelings and rights. Not all roommates fit into one of these categories, because not all roommates are created equal. Take a moment to think what life would be like without your roommate. Would you live a healthier life, get more sleep, or have more fun? Would you be lonely, meet less people, or have less fun? Questions like this make one think how important your roommate is to you. Wendy Hinkolman and Sam Swnnton like their room jungle-gym style. 24 STUDENT LIFE -?-r
