  • - That was enough for me,

  • that was the first instance of weirdness.

  • That was enough, but no, there's more.

  • - I woke up in a cold sweat thinking,

  • I must be dreaming, I must be dreaming,

  • this is terrible, this is terrible.

  • And she looks at me with a shocked look saying,

  • like, are you serious?

  • Are you gonna be so (bleep) about it?

  • (lively music)

  • - So I'm gonna tell you all a couple of my worst

  • roommate stories, same roommate, the girl was really weird.

  • I lived in a suite with five other girls,

  • so I was her roommate, and each, there were three rooms,

  • and we each had, yeah.

  • I'm sleeping in my bunk bed, I'm on the bottom bunk,

  • she's on the top bunk,

  • asleep, I can feel someone looking at me.

  • I look up and she's literally tilted over the front

  • of the bunk bed looking down at me.

  • Why are you, why are you doing that?

  • Like, what is that?

  • So I open my eyes, she like retreats,

  • like she wasn't doing it, I saw you,

  • you were, I was here, you were there, I saw you.

  • I try to go back to sleep, I open my eyes again,

  • and she's there again peering down at me sleeping.

  • That was enough for me,

  • that was the first instance of weirdness, that was enough.

  • But no, there's more.

  • She was sitting at her desk, I was again, on my bunk bed,

  • her desk was directly in front of my bunk bed,

  • and she has these scissors in her hand.

  • And she takes the scissors and she like, snip,

  • snips and looks back at me,

  • and then just places them back in her drawer,

  • and I'm like (crickets).

  • So at this point, I'm really nervous,

  • because she's looked at me in my sleep,

  • she's snipping scissors at me,

  • she had no reason to have these scissors out

  • in the first place.

  • She used to keep a journal about us.

  • One day she decides to read the journal aloud to us,

  • there was nothing bad about me in it, luckily,

  • but a couple of the girls,

  • she was saying how she would prefer to strangle them,

  • and it was really weird, creepy stuff.

  • We all lived, we survived.

  • We don't talk to her anymore (laughs),

  • we bonded over it, we're lifelong friends.

  • That's my worst roommate story.

  • - So, I go into college, and I think,

  • man, everything's gonna be great,

  • I'm gonna be by myself for the first time.

  • My high school friend and I decided to apply to a dorm room.

  • Unfortunately, my roommate and I applied late,

  • and so we had to get a triple,

  • and so we would get a third roommate, who we didn't know.

  • And I thought, how bad can this be?

  • It was awful.

  • He started doing a bunch of things

  • that were a little bit questionable.

  • He was a really nice guy,

  • but he was an absolute slob.

  • Now I get it, we're all a little messy here and there,

  • he would just leave his clothes

  • everywhere, literally everywhere.

  • And for some reason, it was always wet,

  • and then it smelled like wet dog the entire time.

  • And because we were only in one room,

  • that smell permeated onto us.

  • So I would leave my dorm room smelling like wet dog.

  • I think, for me though, the last straw was

  • he decided to come home several nights completely drunk.

  • It's college, I don't care, you're partying,

  • it's not my thing.

  • He would come home at three a.m. wasted, stumbling.

  • Let me paint you a picture.

  • I was at the top bunk,

  • he had the corresponding other top bunk,

  • and my other roommate, my high school friend,

  • was in the bottom bunk.

  • So for this stranger roommate,

  • he had to climb an entire bunk, drunk

  • every single night, for what seemed like months.

  • This, of course, would always wake me up,

  • but, the kicker is, he would sometimes bring girls home,

  • and he would start doing the dirty.

  • And I think he thought he was super sly,

  • like, I'm drunk, and I can get on this top bunk,

  • I can bring this girl home,

  • and my roommates are here, and they're totally asleep.

  • Let me just say, he wasn't very quiet.

  • I woke up in a cold sweat thinking,

  • I must be dreaming, I must be dreaming,

  • this is terrible, this is terrible.

  • I turn from my bunk, and I look over,

  • and he's totally having sex with this girl

  • on the other bunk.

  • Are you serious?

  • Like, who does that?

  • Needless to say, I didn't last very long in that dorm,

  • I had to break my contract after only three months,

  • and I never spoke to him ever again.

  • - So, in my first year there was

  • this girl that I met online,

  • and we filled out a survey,

  • and we felt like we had everything similar.

  • Like, we thought we were gonna be roommates,

  • and like friends, like best friends, whatever.

  • Things started getting really weird

  • when I realized she moved for a girl she had met online

  • three years before.

  • That girl was much older,

  • but she was always present,

  • so even though we would have one-on-one chats

  • about our room, the girl would be adding her girlfriend.

  • And suddenly, this girlfriend was involved in everything,

  • even though she didn't go to our school, and she was older.

  • It started as like,

  • the girlfriend just popping in to our room randomly.

  • One day, I noticed that they made a classifieds post

  • that said, my friend is trying to become a hairstylist,

  • and so she's giving out free haircuts.

  • And I thought, okay, that's weird.

  • One day I came from a class and I noticed there was

  • some random people outside of our hall,

  • like people I've never seen before.

  • I keep going, and then I see people in our living room,

  • and then when I get closer to my room,

  • my door is propped open, there's newspapers everywhere.

  • And the girlfriend is giving someone a haircut in my room

  • without any prior knowledge,

  • without even asking me, or saying anything at all.

  • I told her, this isn't okay,

  • can't you do it somewhere else?

  • And she looks at me with a shocked looking,

  • saying, like, are you serious?

  • Are you gonna be so (bleep) about it?

  • She stopped that day,

  • about two or three weeks later,

  • I got a text message,

  • she was like, hey, just a heads up,

  • I'm gonna be giving haircuts again,

  • and I just thought to let you know.

  • And I was kind of like, I told you that that's not okay,

  • I'm not down for that.

  • And she said, well,

  • you're not even in the room at that time,

  • so you just be happy that I told you at all, (laughs).

  • I got kinda lucky, cause they broke up.

  • It turned out that that girlfriend

  • was cheating on my roommate.

  • My roommate hated the school,

  • and only went there for that girl.

  • It led my roommate to actually leave school

  • and move to Thailand only three months into

  • our first year of college.

  • So I got an empty room for myself,

  • for like, the rest of the year, (laughs).

  • (lively music)

  • - Hey guys, we're, (all together) Paralight.

  • - Did you know it's Hispanic heritage month?

  • (speaks in foreign language)

  • - For more latino content...

- That was enough for me,
