Hi Kayla,
Well, there is just as likely a chance that you could have tidy, introverted roommates as well! I was in a situation where I was the messy, extroverted one in comparison!
What I did Freshman year was hang tapestries strategically in the room so I had a “room within a room” so I could be alone while my roommate was entertaining.
Another thing that can happen is if you are with an extrovert, it is actually more likely that she will ditch you to hang out with the queen bee or king pin of the group she’s in ~ in their room!
Or, you will become good friends with her friends and then it won’t seem like an intrusion.
And if you tell her, “Could you pick up once a week and have only one or two friends over at a time?” she will be cool with that as long as you don’t ask for much else. Otherwise she’ll be the jerk, you know?
Good Luck!
Inky
