The Roommate Game Have you ever wondered why your best friend may be the hardest person in the world to live with? Have you ever wanted to go to sleep and your roommate brings her boyfriend or several friends over to listen to a new record album? Have you ever wanted to sleep in one morning and your roommate decides to set her alarm for 5 a.m.? Most likely, you have answered yes to at least one of these questions or can relate to one that was asked. Despite all the bothersome, petty things roommates do that may drive you crazy, we still live with them. They are a part of college life that will never be forgotten. Roommates are people with whom we share our lives, in spite of all the annoying habits that go hand in hand with living with another person. We go to meals with them, celebrate good times with them, share joys, sorrows and care packages with them. And, if we are lucky, we may even be able to share some of their clothes. Roommates come in all shapes and sizes, and we may not always like sharing a room with them, but we manage . . . somehow. In the long run, we learn to adapt to differing tastes and levels of neatness, learn to settle arguments and differences of opinions sensibly, and even learn to control our own irritable temperaments. Rooming with another person is a learning experience that is part of the liberal arts education we all obtain at Westminster. Barb Merkel Barb Forbes, Julie Lympany, Lynn Wollenberg and Julie Nan have learned to tolerate each other. TOP — Pat Pintirsch and Denise Ferrara get along just fine.
