1

My roommate is a very difficult person. She is used to having her own way since she doesn't have any brothers or sisters. For example, she is always in a bad mood early in the morning because she doesn't like to get up early. She has an early class every morning, unfortunately for me. She is also very messy because her mother always cleaned her room. She throws her clothes on the floor every night. She puts her things on my bed when she doesn't have room for them. We often fight about this since I am very neat. I can't wait until the year ends. I am going to have a different roommate next year.
