Life on Campus: Roommates During Weeniedom


A Guest Blog by Bailey Baker

One thing that all Spirits have in common is that we LOVE UT. But, do we always love living at UT? This is a problem that many freshmen and sophomore Weenies face because we have yet to make the best decision ever to live with other Texas Spirits. What happens when you’re less fortunate with your exciting potluck roommate adventure and don’t end up making best friends with them like me? What happens when your roommate regularly saves Ziploc baggies of dirt to eat as a study snack? What do you do when your roommate steals your beloved graphing calculator? Or worse… Your favourite Sharpie from your collection that was once complete with every single colour. How are you supposed to act when you’re studying with your boyfriend in your room while your roommate casually lounges around in her birthday suit? I mean… I can appreciate Anatomy, but not necessarily a roommate’s anatomy.

Dealing with crazy roommates can be tricky. You have to think about things like: Are they going to try murdering me? Should I hide my delicious jalapeƱo pretzels from her? Will she be staring at me again the next time I wake up? Needless to say, 99% of Weenies RUN at full speed into the arms of a sane (and awesome and beautiful and smart and funny and talented) Texas Spirit for the following year as a roommates.

Hold strong, sisters. The months leading up to the highly anticipated move-in with a fellow Texas Spirit can seem sooooooooo loooooooooooooong. Low and behold, only four weeks left of school ;) CIWY <3
