A new email

I have the general outlook in life that shit happens, especially in college. There is no "perfect place for you" like many college counselors want you to believe. There are dozens of things I could complain about. I feel like this story portays a lot of the things that happen here.Last year I was placed in a single room in a house on the ave. It was a great room, 2 windows, 2 closets. The company wasn't so great. It was 6 other girls, all who knew each other very well. One was on of the RAs on the Ave.The second weekend back at school in the fall I was awaken at 3 am to my door being opened an my light turned on. The lock on the door wasn't very good, if it wasn't in the exact right spot it didn't do any good. Another girl from my house had just walked into my room. She headed to my closet and I said "what the heck are you doing in here". She said "oh sorry" turned of the light, and proceeded to shut herself in my closet. She was in there for three or four minutes, i heard all my things falling down. I was shaking and terrified. After a few minutes, she managed to get out of the closet and left my room. I called my Dad, even though it was the middle of the night, crying. Colleges are supposed to be safe.The next morning I approached the girl. She was "slightly intoxicated" as she put it. And didn't remeber much. SHe said she was tryign to find the bathroom and though my closet was it. Great - a strange girl may have urinated in my closet.I e-mailed several RAs on the Ave to let them know what had happened. I asked for a stronger lock to be put on my. The told me the lock would be fixed and they would talk to the girl, she wouldn't get away with it. Apparently the truth isn't important and neither is having respect for other people. I was told my lock could not be fixed and they never spoke to the girl.I know much worse things have happened on this campus. I just want to know why people get away with showing such little respect for others? I'm upset that good people lose themselves and their strength to drunks, poor leaders, and in general disrespectful people.
