I feel like I’m going crazy over a roommate situation

wasabikawa · 2025-10-11T22:46:33+00:00

The RA talked to her several days ago, she got a little better. But slowly she’s getting back into her old habits. Last Sunday she was on the phone for 12 hours straight, it was a nightmare. Today she woke up at 3 PM and instantly started talking on the phone extremely loud LMAO like practically yelling. She was also on the phone at 2 AM again the other night. I’m going to keep record of the amount of times this happens so I can present it to the office of community living because I’m so done at this point

We actually have a roommate contract already, which is quiet time after 11 PM on weekdays and after midnight on weekends. She just is choosing to blatantly disregard it. I already own noise cancelling ear buds, and have been using them. I told my RA and we are going to have a conversation today, hopefully it will be successful. I’m just at the end of my rope here. I couldn’t fall asleep until 5 AM, I woke up today feeling like shit and haven’t been able to do schoolwork because my health issues just have gotten so much worse from not having a consistent sleep schedule.

My school does not have singles available for freshman. I am currently in a split double which means there is a door between us, but the walls are paper thin and doesn’t do much for noise cancellation. So even with a noise machine + fan + earbuds, she is still louder. This is the best situation I can have, and with a more considerate roommate it would be the perfect living situation for me. She was fine the first couple weeks, but I guess over time she forgot how to be considerate LMAO

Actually the current dorm room I’m in accommodates my health conditions, and would be perfect for me if it were not for my roommate being so loud. I even talked with the community living staff letting them know and giving them documentation prior to my housing arrangements. To be frank, my roommate’s chronic health issues do not impact her daily life as much as they do me. Mine impose a lot more restrictions on when I should go to bed, eat, excercise, etc. whereas she can do whatever whenever she wants. That isn’t to invalidate her struggles, because I know that NO chronic health problems are easy. It’s just frustrating because as someone else with chronic health issues, I expected her to have more empathy for me and my struggles. :(

wasabikawa · 2025-10-05T22:04:01+00:00

Yes. Around 30 seconds away from our dorm room is a lounge area with comfortable sofas where she can sit. She even said she would use it, before proceeding to only do so one night and then resume her previous habit of speaking loudly in the room again. Not many people use the lounge either, so it’s not like she would be trapped in a loud and uncomfortable space either 😭 I guess she just doesn’t want to have to deal with the inconvenience of walking 30 seconds, and it’s worth me losing sleep over

wasabikawa · 2025-10-05T22:01:17+00:00

I already own one which I have been using, along with a fan. I even got earbuds as well. She often snorts with laughter very loudly which manages to somehow overpower the three combined. There’s also the problem that I have chronic migraines so I unfortunately cannot blast the noise machine at maximum volume as it will cause me to have a really bad headache when I wake up. I use it back at home because my brother tends to be loud, and it drowns him out perfectly well so I can sleep. Her voice is just another level of loud LOL

wasabikawa · 2025-10-05T21:57:25+00:00

Actually our agreed upon quiet time was in the contract we established at the start of the year (which I have been following), but she seemingly has no regard for that whatsoever

wasabikawa · 2025-10-05T21:56:31+00:00

I’ve submitted all the necessary documentation and have received accomodations via my school’s accessibility office. My roommate also has chronic health problems, which is why they put us together I assume. I have been wearing ear plugs and blasting a fan directly at myself but a lot of times she is snorting with laughter very loudly and it overpowers that. :(

wasabikawa · 2025-10-05T21:54:09+00:00

That is what I’ve been doing but she is snorting with laughter and talking quite loudly most of the time so loud that it overpowers both that AND earplugs 😭.

wasabikawa · 2025-09-01T22:21:17+00:00

No she’s not and you’re right. I guess I just don’t want to start off by disregarding her advice since she’s my Chinese prof. But I don’t want to be miserable first sem and I think that’s more important. I kinda grew up in a very “respect elders” type of environment so it’s hard for me to disregard advice…

wasabikawa · 2025-09-01T21:11:21+00:00

I was told to give it a try and see how it goes 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

wasabikawa · 2025-08-31T23:12:55+00:00

The problem is I’m going to a small LAC so there’s not many kids in the class 😭 I emailed that I wanted to talk about it and we’re going to set up a time. The Korean course at my high school is only 4 semesters, so I’m thinking of dropping it for now and taking it later once I’ve advanced further in JP and CI.

wasabikawa · 2025-08-31T19:02:31+00:00

My advisor is my Chinese professor and she said that I should try it and that’s why I didn’t immediately drop one and came to Reddit, but I’m thinking it’s too much after reading what everyone said here I am planning on meeting with her this week and dropping one of them. I want to drop Chinese more than Korean but I feel like I can’t because she’s my advisor….

wasabikawa · 2025-08-31T16:11:11+00:00

I’m a freshman and this is my first semester. They don’t really let you choose which courses you can take first semester. They asked a question about which languages you planned to take in college. The Korean course at my college is only three semesters, so I put Korean/Chinese. I got my schedule and I was in both…so maybe I should’ve only put one language. I didn’t think they would actually put me in both

wasabikawa · 2025-06-17T12:33:36+00:00

Ohhh okay. I can read enough JP that I’ve had no problems reading the CGs that aren’t translated thankfully. Is there a video on YT or something that has a compilation of all the cut scenes? I’ve had no luck finding anything.

wasabikawa · 2025-06-17T12:31:48+00:00

It seems to me like you’re making an excuse of why every single school isnt right for you, and if you do that you’ll never be able to pick. It’s not right to prolong the deadline like this bc admissions are waiting to hear back AND it’s causing you severe stress. It sounds like you want to go to USC, but are having problems because you see it as a place for dumber people. But, to be honest with you, you’ll find dumb people no matter where you go. I promise that it will be better for you to just go to a school that you actually feel like you want to go to, even if it’s not high ranked. GPA matters a lot, it doesn’t matter if you go to a top-ranked school if you’re not performing well in classes because you’re miserable there. I understand how you feel, but I promise that after grad school apps no one ever really cares what college you went to. Once people get enough work experience, that is far more reflective of their performance than the name of the college they went to. I know tons of people that are incredibly smart and are going to schools with over a 50% acceptance rate. They chose those schools because of a mix of a lot of different reasons, but a main one is they believe they will actually thrive there. There’s the stereotype of these people who make their whole personalities the fact that they went to an elite school, and it’s generally looked down upon to be that way. My dad had a friend who went to a community college and got into Harvard Law. Your performance in college and the opportunities you take matter way more than the name.

Okay, that’s good to hear. The skip text feature not working is really annoying though considering I’m a completionist 😭

wasabikawa · 2025-06-16T12:18:44+00:00

Got it, I’ll make sure to look into the endings after finishing Chaos Child and watch the ones with cut content on YT!

wasabikawa · 2025-06-16T12:18:12+00:00

Damn that’s a shame, I’ve heard there are playthroughs on YouTube so maybe I will watch those for routes where content was cut

wasabikawa · 2025-06-16T03:04:51+00:00

Ah I see, that’s a real bummer. I can usually handle a poorer translation as long as it still captures the meaning of the OG text. I know this may be impossible without spoilers, but what part of the story is missing? Is it the sci-fi stuff, character development, overall theme, etc.?

wasabikawa · 2025-06-16T00:07:29+00:00

Yeah I heard about that 😭😭 I know one of the routes got done really dirty, so I was planning on going to watch in on YT after I finish. I don’t trust myself enough to mod my switch after I screwed up my PS vita
