Dealing with a potentially unfriendly roommate

Okay so I'm about to start my sophomore year in college and last year I had my first experience with a roommate. It was not good at all. She seemed to dislike me for no reason. When we first met I was cordial and tried to talk to her and she would never make an effort. So I got use to sharing a room with a silent stranger. This year I wanted things to be different. I found out who my new roommate was as soon as they told us and the next day I texted her to introduce myself. However, she never responded. From the looks of her social media she seems like a nice respectable girl. She is very into "peace and love" but isn't it odd that she does not have the courtesy to just say hello back? My text message was really non chalant and friendly but I just don't understand why it seems like she s ignoring me when we have never even met. What would you do in this situation and what do you think I should do? Thanks for your help!

Extra info: I believe she received the message because we both have iPhone messaging and it said "delivered".

Don't worry too much about it, there are lots of reasons why she might not have responded yet. Like you said it's a new start so just wait until you meet in person.

  • When dealing with small electronic components, should I wear gloves? I'm going to replace my iPhone 4S Screen. Which requires me to gut the whole phone in order to get to the screen. I'm pretty confident that it will be successful. But I'm aware that my oils or static can destroy (i don't know) the components. Would it be a good idea to wear latex gloves or something?
  • What should I say to my roommate from last semester (who stole my stuff)? He stole my stuffed Kermit the Frog. I know it was him. I know that he was capable of it since he also stole someone's iPhone. Yet when I see him, he's still just like, "Hey man, how are you doing?" and pretending to be my friend. What should I say to him?

What kind of gloves should I wear? Latex? Plastic? Plastic has static right?
  • I think my roommate is stealing from me? I need a camera that'll connect to my iPhone while I'm at work. It needs to be small enough he won't see it in the corner. Any recommendations?
