CAMPUS ROOMATES PART 2 of 3

 
Continued

Bottomline: They will always lament of how people from the village are ‘following’ them at      

                      Campus.

The Gambler; they always aware of all the games that will be going down that day from the Japanese J-League where Gamba Osaka will be taking on Kashima Antlers at 12:15 pm Kenyan time to The  Brasileiro Serie B  where Vasco Da Gama would be away to battle it out with Bragantino, a game that they will follow via Livescore at 3:00 am . Their discussions revolve around betting sites such as Betway, Sportpesa and Betin with sports analysis and prediction applications such as Flashscore and 2+Betting taking the place of Opera Mini on the phone.

The Clean One; ensuring everything is at the right place seem to be their calling. They always clean up your mess ensuring the room is not only clean and orderly. They always go for the upper case, the top bed in a decker since they feel the pinch when someone sits on their beds leaving it messed up. Their colour of choice is usually white or any other bright colour.

Mr I don’t care; they never attend any lectures throughout the semester they are always in or less than 100 metres from the room. They spend most of their time engaging in non-academic activities such as playing computer games and keeping up with the latest movies and series to the extent that you are kept wondering  if they are even enrolled in lectures, since they always seem to be in a holiday camp.

The Traditionalist; this kind of roommate believes that every time misfortunes come their  way,even simple 

headaches it is the work of jealous neighbours back in the village who are unhappy with his successful endeavours at campus being the only one who has made it that high in the academic ladder. They will always lament of how people from the village are ‘following’ them.

The Chef; they always practice what I simply call industrial cooking. The probability that their coil is on flight mode is close to zero, let’s just say zero. They are always cooking everything they can lay their hands on as long as it can be cooked and eaten making your room temperature to be somewhere close to what the Tuaregs experience at the Sahara Desert.

The Aggressive One; they are the proverbial Mr No Fear No Favour you are not allowed to use any of their utensils, even a tea spoon before giving a formal explanation probably using diagrams why you have to. They are always bossy to the extent that they order you around yet you might either be age mates or you are slightly older than them.  They pull a Hammurabi the Lawgiver on you,crafting a list of the do’s and don’ts which usually favour them expecting everyone to follow with minimum or no objection.
