Buh-Bye Roommates

Jul 30, 2010 | Filed in Life | 3 Comments

I hated to do it, but yesterday I had to tell my roommates to hit the road.

Parting is such sweet sorrow, and I do despise being the villain. But enough is enough. Chronically late with the rent, damaging my furniture, not respecting boundaries or personal space. Yep, this arrangement has run its course.

I hate the way it went down. I told them they had to be gone by Monday. The sensitive side of me feels bad that they are scrambling to find a new place, get it ironed out, and move their stuff this weekend. But hey, they once again were late with the rent and I was done with it.

I know it was for the best. We were all breaking the lease in September anyway. I’ve been living with Daniel since the end of May and I plan on moving my stuff later in August. But when they came to me and said they needed more time to come up with their rent, I knew I couldn’t put up with them for another month.

So there you have it. My first and last time with roommates. Ah, well. It’s one more life experience I’ve learned from. :)
