Question: What do you do about roommates that do not wake up to their alarm clocks? I am about to tweak.

Answer: You can call out to them after a minute or two of not turning it off. Sometimes people genuinely sleep through their alarm, but having someone actually say something to them can wake them up and they would be able to turn it off. You can also talk to them when they are fully awake so you can ask them what they would want you to do when they sleep through their alarm. If neither of these options work, you can possibly just snooze their alarm in hopes that they would wake up the second time around and can turn it off themselves. If they do not wake up the second time, then you can turn it off yourself because if the alarm is ringing for a while, it can be extremely annoying and clearly they are not getting up so might as well. However, that could be seen as rude or disrespectful so it is best to start out with the conversation about what they are ok with you doing and then move from there.

Question: I had a crush on this guy, he turned me down and we are still friends, but now he is trying to get with my friend. I cannot stop him, but it definitely is making me feel weird and they are both making me feel weird for being sad like is it bad that I am upset about this?

Answer: It can be okay to feel hurt over the fact that he did not like you in that way, but likes your friend. Your feelings are still fresh so seeing them together may hurt. However, they are technically not doing anything wrong as you and him never had a relationship nor did he return your feelings. Therefore, it is kind of unfair to be upset about their relationship when neither of them did anything. It is weird that they are doing this in your face as they both know how you feel. You can speak up about it or distance yourself from them until you are over your crush and your rejection so that it does not feel as weird.

Question: My best friend has dropped off the face of the Earth since meeting her new boyfriend. Is it wrong for me to be mad? 

Answer: No, that is your best friend and you should still matter to her even when she is in a relationship. You do not just simply forget about your friends once a person comes into your life. If you guys are friends they should make time for you to at the very least check in instead of leaving you high and dry, especially if they are the type to come back once they have broken up with someone else. Those are the worst people. They pick and choose when and who they want to spend time with in the absence of considering how you may feel, which again warrants your feelings of madness.
