The Adventure Begins

Sophomore year stared out quite well when it came to my roommate. He would come out with me every weekend and actually enjoyed being able to meet new people. With time, though, his relationship grew with his girlfriend. Instead of just texting her all the time, they had moved up to talking on the phone quite often and even occasionally Skyping one another. Luckily, at this point Skype was not as big of a deal to me because we now had separate rooms since we were living in an apartment. The only problem was that my roommate began not wanting to go out. One of the main flaws with him is that he falls really hard for girls. Therefore, it is as if he feels like going out and talking to other girls is against the "relationship law". It became an every weekend occurrence that when I would get back from partying and hanging out with friends that my roommate would be sitting in his computer chair playing the notorious game called Halo. I don't have anything against hermits, but this was not o.k. with me.

Every weekend I would ask my roommate if he wanted to come out with me and my friends. There were times that something insane would be going on, like a concert or some wicked party, and it never failed that he would decline the offer. The only reason that I could think of was that my roommate knew that he could stay at the apartment and play games like Halo and that would be a motive for him to not have to meet or talk to any other girls. The sad thing about the whole situation is that I honestly don't think my roommate has many any lifelong friends during the entire time he has been going to college. Therefore, I decided to resolve the problem by forcing him to come out with me. It was actually quite a simple process. I took the games that he played the most and hid them from him. A deal was formed that every night he would come out with me and my friends, he would get one of his games back. After he had finally gotten all of his games back he had actually warmed up to the idea of making new friends, and it was all thanks to me.
