Dear Naked Readers,

Happy weekend!  Quick correction -- yesterday's edition of The NAKED Daily had a bum link. Here's the corrected link to a great editorial about the drug bust at Columbia University. For those of you heading home for break this weekend, congratulations. For those of you studying for finals this weekend, remember, it's almost over!!!

HELP!  ROOMMATE CAN'T STAND ROOMMATE

Hey, Guys,

I've been in college for about two months now and I can't stand my roommate. When we're together in our room, she's civil and it feels like we get along well enough; we don't hang out, though, because she likes to go out and wander around and I prefer staying inside with a book. But when we're apart, I know she talks about me. I hear her talking about her other "friends" behind their backs, so I know that I, since I'm not a friend, can't possibly escape her criticism. I've also seen her reply to people on Facebook talking about how "lame" I am and how I "do strange things in my sleep" (which she's never said to my face).

I know people say that you shouldn't worry about what other people think, but I live with this person and it's very upsetting that she has such a poisonous attitude toward me when to my knowledge, I haven't done anything wrong. I have a feeling that since she's never said anything negative directly to me, she's talking about me behind my back to be spiteful. If that's the case, then I'm not certain that I want to have a conversation (or confrontation) with her about her behavior. I definitely don't want to be friends with someone that behaves that way.

Should I ignore the problem, since she hasn't actually done or said anything rude to my face? Should I try to transfer rooms when the semester ends?
