Im going back to college tomarrow and im dreading it because i dont like my roommate
For context
my roommate is a foreign exchange student from mexico.
Last year my old roommate left so i had to get paired with someone else
And EVERY MOURNING at 7 AM 2 hours before my alarm is supposed to go off he blasts hispanic music from his alexa for the entire hour long process he takes to get ready. (Beccause hes one of those people who showers in the mourning).
I never confronted him about this because we dont talk to each other at all and i dont want conflict and im not the best at confrontation due to being on the spectrum i thought about leaving him a note telling him my greivences but people have told me thats a bad idea so i dont know of i should.
but even with that aside he KNOWS it annoys me because i tried to bury a pillow over my head when he first started doing this, when he steps out of the room to take a shower i paused his alexa music but he turns it back on when he gets back, and one mourning even shouted to me "hear this music" to me.
I tried going to bed earlier but he also has another habit where he watches youtube videos out loud and watches fifa streamers going to sleep and DOESNT TURN THEM OFF BEFORE HE FALLS ASLEEP sometimes going as late as 2 AM before
It must be really tough to have a roommate you don’t get along with, especially going back to a stressful environment like college. I think being open communicates would help, just make sure to set boundaries. It could lead to a surprising connection despite the initial awkwardness.
