Roommate drama
Significado: Conflicts and tensions that arise from sharing a living space with a college roommate.
Roommate drama is one of the most universal college experiences. Two strangers sharing a 150-square-foot room will eventually clash — over cleanliness, sleep schedules, guests, noise, and borrowed stuff. 'Roommate drama' ranges from passive-aggressive sticky notes to full confrontations. 'I need to switch roommates' is a common request to housing offices. The best roommate situations become lifelong friendships; the worst become horror stories told for decades.
