so um i just got out of the shower and i walk in my room and i see my roommate in my stuff.
i didnt call her out...i just walked past put my towel away and pretended nothing happened....should i have been like wtf ?

yea. wtf.

also for those who recall my old thread about me supposedly freaking out about her bringing a gamecube and tv?
yea well i was right. my intuition's pretty good apparently.

she plays gamecube all day. well its broken now....she probably played it to death. i dont get how she has no hw. at all.
sometimes she uses headphones for tv...but not always...and she sees me doing hw. mad messed up. i hate having to tell her each time. "hey could u put your headphones on?" ugh.

It's the roommates' responsibility to resolve conflicts.
If all fails, that's what the office of residences or whatever they call themselves is for.

You may even have her removed. lol

You would have to talk with her about going through your stuff and why she was doing that. Under no circumstances should anyone or your roommate be looking through your belongings without your permission.
And if this isn't the first time then you can do what mannosuke suggest too.
If there's something wrong with your body, you go to the gym.
If there's something wrong with your mind, you see a shrink.
But, when there's something wrong with your soul, you have no where to run to, but MUSIC.

That's real life for ya. Not everyone is gonna behave the way you want them to, but you guys can set room mate rules with the housing people (at my school it's called the RSO.. dunno about yours). ><;; Whoever violates the rules will have to leave the room. If you really can't stand her, you can try getting a room change. >:|

best of luck.

You need to set her down and talk with her one-on-one. If you don't do this now then it will continue on from bad to worse. And if you both are living in uni residence then I suggest you make complaints to the supervisor. Honestly, I would never allow myself to live with a roommate who annoys the heck out of me. You need to have a real talk with your roommate or find a new roommate, I hope all goes well.

how was she going through your stuff?
like opening your drawers?
and actually digging through things?
or just flipping aroud and stuff.

you need to talk to her about it.
seriously.
that's bad.
she could have a fishy hand.

You NEED to talk to her about it. When I read that she was going through your things (since you didn't specify) I immediately thought "Maybe she was looking for something she needed?" I mean, sure, I can't really think of something you might have that she needed, but it's sort of a case of if I caught my friend going through my purse, and I was like "Hey! What are you doing?", maybe she turns around to me and is like "Oh, I was just looking for a brush/make-up/pencil/etc etc etc", ya know? She may not necessarily have had ill intentions, but you won't know unless you confront her about it, and it wouldn't really be fair to try and get her removed, or complain about her to higher ups, when it might just be that innocent.

Of course, she could lie, but it's worth a shot.

You either need to talk to her face to face about it, or just move out or ask her to move.

that's not straight dude. call her out on it.
&cause you didn't do so, she might do it again. which is highly likely

If you guys are on friendly terms (or she thinks you are, at least) she might have been looking for something like... a writing utensil, maybe. I don't really know; and, either way, she has no right at all to be going through your things without your permission, and you can probably report her for that.

The TV thing is probably annoying, but you do have a library you can go to to study. I'm not sure if she has somewhere she can go to watch TV. She should wear headphones out of courtesy, though.

Annnd... what else. Yeah, you should probably just request to change rooms. I don't think you'll ever like her, haha.

Just set up rules, and if she breaks any of the rules she has to pay a dollar =) The money can go towards like tables or textbooks, that's what my teacher use to do. At the end of the year, we had nearly $500.

^ the thing is that we DID have one on one talks already. we already have ground rules.
we were like okay i dont go through your stuff and you dont go through mine. it was her idea even.
i've asked her "can you wear headphones whenever you watch tv?" she said yes. but i have to ask her EACH time.

"The TV thing is probably annoying, but you do have a library you can go to to study"
my dorm and the library are on opposite ends of the campus. fml lol. and its probably not safe walking around alone at night.

oh well. just one more year i guess. :<

I remember your last post.

ah I've had this happen, and worse. no don't confront the roommate she will just deny it (what else can she do?). You have to immediately file a complaint with the residence head. You need evidence first, a paper that showed you had this problem. Request a room change or whatever.. not sure if you're gonna get one. My friend had to wait a while for it. BUT then you can do this:

-install a program that simply records your webcam into a video file. Get a decent program not a random one from the internet because that might be a virus. Then before you leave the room just start recording it. I did this, my friend who was having problems with his roommate did it too. They have no idea the webcam is recording and if they go through your stuff you now have real EVIDENCE to prove it. Show it to the residence manager or whatever, there's no way they could deny.

You should address your roommate about looking through your stuff. Pretending like you don't know won't solve anything. If you don't like your roommate either, you should talk to the dorm advisor about it.

Or, maybe, you should set up mouse traps. (:
