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.

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

Take it up with your DM (Dorm Manager).

OP: Option #1: drag her *ss out of bed onto the actual floor for each alarm. Or drop all of her textbooks - 1 by 1 - onto her head for each alarm. Option #2: Turn off/ unplug/ and hide all her alarms after she's asleep.... Or even cut off the power cords. They can easily be spliced back together ... tho still time-consuming.

As someone who used to do that as well, I'm sorry OP, it may get better as they get more used to waking up to alarms

I have to set a million alarms because I sleep through them I can't even hear them, sometimes. Luckily I don't have a roommate!

Tell her to use headphones and connect it to her phone so only she'll hear it and it won't ring around the entire room

Any possibility of becoming a morning person? You might be able to do some reading before class...

This seems to happen pretty often on FML and to people I know in real life. How I would handle the situation: 1. Politely mention that she sets too many alarms and they are waking you up long before you need to be awake and ask her to set them for when she actually needs to get up. 2. If that doesn't work or she refuses, once she is asleep at night/before she wakes up turn off all of the alarms that go off before she needs to be awake, 3. If that doesn't work turn off all of her alarms and set one for 5 minutes before she needs to leave to still be on time. If none of these work its time to get serious. 4. Turn off all of her alarms once the first one goes off and she doesn't wake up. If she oversleeps and is late... oh well 5. Now we're getting to the fun part. Take a cup of ice and gently pour it on/near her crotch area. As the ice melts it shouldn't be enough to wake her up but it will soak her blanket/pants/underwear.etc. If she still doesn't take the hint and make some changes then it's time to get mean... I mean even. Once that first alarm goes off and wakes you head to the kitchen and fill a large bowl/bucket with as much ice as you can and then as much water as it will hold/as much as you can and still carry it and dump it on her. As you pour shout WAKEY WAKEY SLEEPY HEAD IT'S TIME TO GET UP AND TURN YOUR GOD DAMN ALARM OFF ************, as loud as you can between trying to breathe and control your laughter. Good luck. If this still doesn't work I hope you at least get some laughs out of it and your roommate starts to realize how much of an inconsiderate jackass she is being. I forgot to mention, after completing step #5 be prepared to run quickly to the bathroom, your room, Fort Knox... doesn't really matter as long as it is secure enough to ensure your safety, which I can not guarantee if you choose to follow these steps. Good luck and may the odds be ever in your favor

This is actually exactly what I do to get up for school...
