Remember the nerves of your first year in college? One of the biggest worries was whether you’d get along with your roommate. If your child is currently feeling the same anxiety or dealing with a tricky living situation, this amusing email exchange might just lift their spirits.
Seventeen-year-old Maya Thompson got a taste of what her future UCLA roommate might be like when she received an email that laid out a series of rather demanding expectations. She shared it on Twitter, and it quickly gained traction—because wow, just wow.
The email opens with, “I’m not sure why either of you didn’t reply to my earlier emails, but it’s whatever. Just know that I won’t accept anything less than what I’m about to tell you when I arrive at the dorm.” Talk about setting the tone! This person could really write a bestseller on how to alienate everyone before even meeting them.
Maya’s Future Roommate’s Demands
Maya’s future roommate then goes on to detail her demands:
- “I’ll take the top bunk of the bunk bed that has both a top and bottom. I DO NOT want the single bunk with a desk underneath, so don’t even think about leaving me with that.”
- “I’m also claiming one of the two white closets. I don’t care which one, just know I’m taking one.”
- “I want the desk by the window. Simple as that. I don’t care who gets the bottom bunk, but just remember what I said. If you two ignore this email, I won’t hesitate to escalate the situation. Don’t test me.”
“Sorry, but not too sorry for my attitude. Ignoring me is just rude,” she adds, making it clear she’s not one to be trifled with. “Just to reiterate: I’m getting the top bunk, one of the white closets, and the desk near the window. That’s totally reasonable since I’m giving up the fight for the bottom bunk.”
Maya has tried to switch rooms, but no luck so far. She and another roommate attempted to reason with her future roommate, but it’s clear that logic doesn’t work with someone who operates in their own world. “I’m actually really chill, but as you can see from my email, I’m like a ticking time bomb when things don’t go my way.” Comforting, right?
Good luck to those girls navigating this tricky living arrangement! It could be excellent practice for the real world, where difficult personalities are part of daily life. This email exchange might just offer some perspective for college freshmen who are complaining about their roommates’ lesser quirks, like excessive napping.
