Dear brilliant Independent Living
student, I just moved in with my room mate to save
money on rent. However she plays her music late into the night very loudly. She also never puts the dishes away, it is really getting on my nerves. We are close friends, so I don’t want to offend them, however it is not fair for me to have to stay up late and do a lot of the work. What should I do?
Signed,
Not the maid
