STOP TALKING AT ME!

Last year, my roommate and I didn’t talk to each other very much. It was not like we didn’t like each other, it’s just neither of us were talkers. I liked the set up. It was kind of like not having a roommate.

This year, I am rooming with one of my best friends, and I knew she was a chatterbox when I agreed to room with her, but what I did not realize that her talking would be an issue. She talks constantly. Usually it is gossip about friends from last year, or whatever boy she’s mooning over at the time. All in all, useless stuff that clutters up my brain and makes me forget things.

I was trying to pack to go home for October break, and I had a whole list of things that I needed to bring home. She was talking so much I forgot to look at my list and I forgot my… well basically everything on the list.

The worst is when she starts singing. Which is basically whenever she runs out of gossip, or whenever a song pops into her head, but she only ever knows like one line of the song, and she sings it over and over again until it gets so stuck in my head that I can’t read for class (not that textbook reading is easy even when it’s silent.) I end up doing a lot of homework down in the lobby of my dorm or in my boyfriend’s room because it’s so much easier to think when there isn’t someone filling your brain with nonsense constantly.
