Well, how can I even begin to describe how this semester is going so far? I get along with my roommates for once (of course when considering the fact that I chose 2 of them, it would suck if I didn't get along with them, huh?). 2 of them get a little immature sometimes, and no, I'm not meaning immature as in what boring people call fun people, I'm meaning, just entering high school immature.
This is the first time that I have ever been the oldest in a group of people, and I don't really know how to handle it. Whether I should set some ground rules, or start holding apartment meetings or what. But something has to change and I really wish that I knew how to change it. Because otherwise we'll lose a roommate and I really don't want that to happen. Things are great until 1 small thing happens and then it seems like everybody is close to becoming a loose cannon. I'm sure I could probably talk to an RA or someone in authority to find out how to handle things better because otherwise, this living arrangement will blow up into a million pieces by the end of just this semester.
I just don't know how to handle it when someone completely refuses to (1) take advice, (2) see the bigger picture or (3) learn that the entire world doesn't revolve around them.
Sometimes, growing up learning to think before speaking or not saying anything at all if I can't say anything nice really comes back to bite me in the butt because I can't say the things I want to without potentially hurting someones' feelings, which I absolutely hate doing. It kind of sucks having a conscience. I honestly don't think I would have made it if I was the oldest child among my siblings, being the youngest of my siblings definitely has its' advantage. But being the oldest of my roommates...SUCKS!!!
On the completely other hand, the educational side of this semester is going pretty good :)
