Today, I'm a college student. Just like every other goddamn day, my roommate set about twenty alarms a good two hours before she even needs to get up. She just sleeps through the first hour or so of alarms while I wake up. I've been waking up at 6 a.m., even though my first classes are at 9. FML.

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, like every other day, my roommate's alarm began to go off at 7:30am. What time does she have to wake up? 10:00am. Why does she have her alarm go off for two and a half hours? Because last semester she needed it to go off then and she is too lazy to change it. FML
Today, my roommate set her extremely loud alarm clock for 5am and continued to hit the snooze button every ten minutes until 7:30. FML
Today, like every day, I woke up at 3 in the morning because my roommate needs "a three hour warning" before his real alarm goes off. His alarm is a constant beeping noise which he always ignores for a good 10 minutes before finally getting up and turning it off. FML
Today, my roommate's extremely loud and obnoxious alarm went off six times, waking me up each time, before she finally gave up on hitting the snooze button and went back to sleep for good. FML
Today, just like every other day, I was woken up 2 hours earlier than I needed to be, by the alarm belonging to my upstairs neighbors. They won't wake up until their real alarm goes off: me, pounding the walls and yelling in frustration. FML
Today, my roommate gets up at 3:30am for work and wakes me up each time. I try not to complain about it, but whenever I come back to the apartment at midnight, she gets mad that I woke her up. I told her that she wakes me up in the morning, but apparently that’s different because she’s going to work. FML
Today, I set 3 alarms so I wouldn't miss an early morning event I was volunteering at. After I slept through the first one, my roommate turned the other two off without waking me up because they were annoying. I missed the event. FML
Today, I woke up to the sound of my roommate's alarm clock going off at 6:00 in the morning. His bedroom door was locked, and he was passed out in his bed from drinking too much. It rang continuously for five and a half hours before it finally ran out of batteries. FML
Today, I'm dead on my feet. My flatmate's alarm went off for 20 minutes at 5 a.m., which I heard and he didn't. A car alarm went off outside my window for half an hour at 7 a.m. My building fire alarm went off twice, at 8 and 8:10 a.m. Just let me sleep. FML
Today, I didn't get to sleep until 5 a.m., as I stayed up to finish off a big project that I have been working on for the past week. I was then woken up at 6 a.m. by my daughter saying she was ready for school. School starts at 9 a.m., and is a 2-minute drive away. I'm now at work, living off an hour of sleep and coffee. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Have you thought about talking to your roommate? Maybe she'll understand if you ask her to set fewer alarms!

My school starts at 8, but I've got to be up at 5:55 to get entirely ready.. and even then I still have to rush sometimes.

I do that, but only 30 minutes earlier than I actually want to get up, but since I don't share a room I don't have to worry about disturbing the other people in the house.

Can I have your roommate? I need 20 alarms just to get up before noon.

Sounds a lot like me, but only 1 hour of alarms, sleeping through the first half. Some people just aren't morning people. Still, if it is waking you up, there must be something you and your roomate can figure out to try to let you sleep more, without yoir roomate sleeping in.

Here's a tip: if it's on her phone, message her. It'll shut off the alarm and you won't need to get up

Get up and turn them all off. Then go get coffee. Do this until your roommate gets the clue.

Wake her the **** up too. Dump ice water on her head every morning at 6 and she'll catch on

My freshman roommate did this too. She was a bitch and didn't care at all when I asked her if she could try something else or stop setting them so early. Invest in ear plugs is my only advice. It kind of works.
