Editors Note
During my freshman year of college, I lived in a residence hall with my randomly assigned roommate. At first, I was excited to meet her and make a potential, new friend. This excitement turned into disappointment.
My roommate liked to stay up until 3 a.m. playing Dungeons and Dragons, use my things without permission and have her boyfriend over 24/7. But, the biggest problem was that I was a neat freak, and she was a slob.
We could never work out a system that suited both of our needs. Everytime we tried working things out, we would both be frustrated.
My sophomore year was even worse. I was assigned two roommates I didn't know. These two girls went to the bars four nights a week and would come back late at night. They would stumble into the dorm and turn on all of the lights while I was sleeping. Needless to say I didn't get much sleep that year.
After two years of living with my roommates in close quarters, I realized two things: I wanted to find an apartment and pick my own roommate.
Now, I live in an apartment, and I considered my roommate very carefully. When you're looking for a roommate you need to realize that you are sharing a space. Not everything can go your way. You need to pick a roommate who will listen to you and who can work out problems with you if/when they
arise.
My roommate and I have split all of the chores around the apartment. We clean the living room and kitchen together. We also split the cost of groceries. We have worked out a system and things have gone pretty well this far.
Even if you pick your roommate(s), problems can still pop up every now and then. Make sure to voice your issues with your rommate(s) quickly instead of letting your anger get the best of you.
And, since it's the season to start looking for new living situations and new roommates for next school year, be sure to read Dylan Snyder's article, "Tricky living situations can arise," on page 6.

The Jayhawk. the NCAA Team intensity hints at caping the binds of the WNIT.
The injury to Davis put Kansas to the test. The Jayhawks haven't responded and now need to win some tough games to have a shot at making the Big Dance.
General manager and news adviser Malcolm Gibson
Sales and marketing adviser Jon Schlitt
Ultimately, Zenger's decision will come down to what he expects from the second team in Allen Fieldhouse.

If he's satisfied with WNIT runs and just-under-.500 conference records, he knows he can get that with Henrickson.
If Zenger wants to make Kansas women's basketball a perennial NCAA Tournament team, one that can compete for a conference title every once in a while, he might be watching these last few games of the season with a careful eye.
Kansas has all the resources to compete on a national scale in women's basketball. We'll soon see if Zenger thinks Henrickson is capable of taking the program to another level.

CHRIS BRONSON/KANSAN Junior guard Angel Goodrich covers her face with her jersey after the Kansas 70-65 loss against Missouri on Saturday afternoon at Allen Fieldhouse. Goodrich scored 13 points and nine assists.
"We were just trying to stay as a team and stay positive with everything that has happened," sophomore forward Tania Jackson said.
Kansas gave up an 11-2 Missouri run and trailed 15 points at halftime. In the second half, the Jayhawks gained momentum and brought the game within three points with under one minute left. But Missouri's Christine Flores hit two free throws to capture the 'Tigers' first conference victory of the season.
Kansas worked in practice on defending perimeter shooters, but gave up open looks to the Missouri guards, who hit seven of 12 shots from three point range and six of eight in the first
Harper in for junior guard Monica Engelman. Engelman was benched for the second time this season for a lack of productivity, according to Henrickson. The Jayhawks were out of rhythm and quickly fell behind 8-0 after two Missouri three pointers.

Junior guard Angel Goodrich finished with 13 points and nine assists, but was disappointed with seven turnovers.
Senior forward Alishah Sutherland led the Jayhawks with 23 points. After starting just two of seven from the field in the first half, Sutherland hit eight of 10 shots in the second half to rally the Jayhawks. Defensively, she took on Flores, the biggest challenge, who finished the game with 24 points.
"You can lose, but you have to go out there and give it your all." Goodrich said. "The second half, yes, but the first half we didn't do any of it. That dug us a hole."
Kansas has four games left in the season and they need three victories to end their 12-season NCAA Tournament drought.
"This is going to hurt us a lot," Goodrich said. "I feel like we can still finish strong and the only ones who can stop us are ourselves."
