« FINDING THE OLD KA-BAR AT GRANDDADDY'S HOUSE | Main | taking advantage of debt counseling »

My roommate swears by tea. When we moved in, she was the first one here and her shelf in the kitchen pantry was stocked with wholesale tea that her mom had bought her. She said it was supposed to last her the whole semester so that's why they had bought so much in bulk, but that much tea would seriously last me a lifetime, and probably have some left over.

She drinks white tea every single day, and the worst part is that she leaves the bags all over our house. When she drinks it before class in the morning, she is running all over the house, so who knows where you'll find her tea bag. Sometimes I'll wake up in the morning and she'll already be gone and ill find her white tea bag in the bathroom. It really does gross me out (and our other roommates), but it doesn't seem to faze her at all.

I do however have to thank her tea habit a little for making me feel better a few weeks ago when I had a cold. Even though the herbal tea that she says cures everything did not get rid of my cold at all, it really did help to make me throat feel better and that put me in a much better mood than I had been in for the past few days. She makes herbal tea sound like it could cure cancer though. She says that it keeps you from getting colds and losing your voice and that it can even prevent you from getting the flu. She goes around preaching to people about how much better their lives would be if they drank more tea. The funny thing is that when I got sick, it was her that I caught my cold from. And having it only be the middle of October, she has been sick a lot, probably about 3 or 4 times this year so far. But I guess if it made me feel better for a little while and took away my pain, then I have no right to make fun of her. But seriously, if there was a tea club or group, Kayla would be the president of it.

I guess everyone has little flaws or bad habits, and especially having roommates is hard, but I guess her bad habits could be worse than leaving tea bags out.
