College girl ignores 5+ alarms every morning, screams at roommate when she turns them off: 'Someone thinks they're above reproach'

Is there anything more annoying than the sound of someone else's alarm?

You know the sound: it's way too early, and your roommate just can't seem to wake up. Their alarm has been going off for too long, and you wonder what you could do about it. You know they're completely asleep, and they're not going to do anything about it. But it's driving you nuts. It's keeping you awake when you'd much rather be sauntering back off to dreamland for a couple more hours. But what do you do in this situation? Do you intervene or do you let them live their lives? You're not their mother, so you don't feel like going in there and waking them up yourself. That would be untoward. But if this keeps happening, you're going to have to do something about it.

That's the situation this woman was in when she was living in college dorms. Everything starts to change in college. You're gaining a new sense of independence, perhaps living on your own for the first time. You don't have authority figures constantly coming around and checking in on you. So your habits are bound to change, at least a little bit. You might sleep later than you used to. You might eat differently or wear different clothes. And you might not be used to living with a roommate. That can be a huge learning curve for a lot of people, and one that's not easy to get around.

Sharing a room with someone is a whole other ballgame. You have to play by different rules just to keep the peace. You have to be mindful of the way you're using the space, and you don't want to invade the space of others. But things come up, and it's not always your fault. The way you respond to something, though, you can control. You can choose peace and communication, or you can choose passive aggression. There is a clear path here, but that doesn't mean that everyone takes it. Keep reading to find out what happened here and see what you think about it.
