Experiencing Interruptions?

The Perfect Roommate

Julie Ho, a shy freshman and dedicated listener of DJ Jinju’s late-night radio show, submits her story about struggling with her new college roommate, Sandy. In Julie's rule book, there are three qualities a perfect roommate must have, which Sandy has none. Julie, a quiet introvert, and Sandy, an outgoing party-goer, clash over everything—from study habits to personal space. As tensions rise, Julie grows frustrated, retreating further into isolation.
Through unlikely moments of connection and mutual vulnerability, the two roommates starts to look past each other's flaws. By the end of the year, their relationship blossoms into an unexpected friendship.
