 I am a busy person because I am a working student. I got really exhausted every time my shift ends. Recently, my roomie came late while I'm asleep, and unfortunately, she brings her friends with her. They were talking aloud while drinking alcohol. It really irritates me and made me sleepless that night. I cannot take my rest very well, I felt drowsy during my work time. She borrowed my new dress for the past week and did not return to me until today. She never locked the door when she leaves the area, and when she got home which I find dangerous for us.
