So the girl mentioned in the story isn’t offended by reality?
I’m waiting for the story where she includes her requirements for a corner office and private bathroom with her job applications. Oh. And reserved parking.
I was the pawn in some complicated three way trade. I showed up in my “new” room to be told I’d been traded again - so went to that room.
It worked fine - my first set of roommates and I weren’t compatible (it was a triple, the two girls had gone to high school together and their third bestie had gotten knocked up over the Summer - they seemed to think it was my fault) - the second set I had for 45 seconds, and the third set were great.
Is it far enough into the thread that I can complain about the"article"?
Because that was one stupid article. It doesn’t even flow, or make a point. It’s just unreadable crap! Screencaps of Twitter feeds, with the tops cut off. Paragraphs that explain nothing. It doesn’t say clearly the who, what, where, when or why. It doesn’t even make a case as to why we should even care. it’s just some dippy college freshmen. Like they’ve never done stupid shit before.
Who is “future Winnie Chen”? Is she a Time Lord? What is she now?
I weep for the future Just Asking Questions.
Anyone wish they could get there first and make sure all the hangers are wire?
So did the girls not respond to the original email? Not that that excuses her behavior, and I’ll bet it’s something like she sent it 60 minutes earlier or never did. But it seems odd to not address that.
Also, Ashly (sic).
Yahoo is merely reposting it, it is from Hello Giggles, whatever that is. Original link, which looks a *little *better. And the Teen Vogue link has more info. And that has a link to coed.com, whatever that is. Clickbaitception!
IIRC my college only gave singles to RAs, disabled students, and students with documented mental health issues (in that order). Nobody was actually required to live on campus though.
I think these days most college freshmen arrive without having had to share a bedroom before. It sure felt that like my freshman year. Family sizes have gotten smaller as homes have gotten bigger.
Dunno – clearly there was an expectation of negotiation that had not been met. It reads to me that she was told that she was going to get whatever was left over, and she replied htat she would give as good as she got.
I find it saves time to assume that everyone involved in a viral story is an asshole, including the person(s) who infected us with it. Rarely does evidence later convince me otherwise.
And obviously her name is Chen and she’s studying to become a Winnie. Duh.
The person in question is Winnie’s unnamed roommate, not Winnie herself.
I think he’s referencing my comment about “future Winnie Chen” from the article, which makes it sounds as if “Winnie Chen” is a condition one can aspire to. Like “Nobel Prize Winner”, or “college dropout”.
