¶ … roommate can be both an asset and a liability. On one hand, a good roommate can share living costs, help with chores, and provide companionship. On the other hand, a bad roommate can cause many problems, including late rent and bills, a messy apartment, and annoying behavior. I do not have an especially bad roommate. She pays her share of living costs on time and consistently completes her share of chores. However, we did have a few issues during the first six months that we began to live together.
My roommate did pay her half of our bills on time, so I did not expect to have any financial problems with her. But we ran into trouble when she began to drink my coffee every morning and then fail to replace the empty can, and she never seemed to have any extra money when we needed toilet paper, dish soap, or laundry detergent.

I also had a great knowledge of course planning for almost every major at UConn, because I liked to read through the course booklet and see what kinds of classes were out there and see the
Homosexual marriage does not pose a threat to me or my manhood therefore I am for it." Although I am heterosexual, I know what it means to long for union with another human being. I will choose a woman for my partner, but if another man desires to choose one of his own sex, there is no harm for me in his choice. In fact, since we are both
