If you thought college roommates were just mildly annoying, think again. One Illinois woman recently spilled the jaw-dropping story of her former roommate, who self-identified as a “practicing satanist” and turned everyday dorm life into a nightmare. But the real horror? It wasn’t her religion.
Freshman Isabella, posting on TikTok under the handle manic-celiac, recounted the bizarre chain of events that made her dorm experience unforgettable. At first, the roommate seemed just unusual. She began asking invasive questions about Isabella’s religious beliefs and sexuality.

Then came the confession. She was a former pastor’s daughter who had fully embraced Satanism. Past roommates named Isabella had already fled, but this fourth Isabella decided to stick it out until the nightmare escalated.
The Illinois roommate didn’t just talk the talk. She FaceTimed with her girlfriend every night. FOR a staggering five hours. She also simultaneously set an alarm to blare for two and a half hours each morning, repeatedly hitting snooze. Guests were not allowed, and even a friend stepping into the room briefly could trigger a full-scale complaint.
Annoyances That Would Test Any Sanity
What made life truly unbearable, according to Isabella, was the roommate’s shocking disregard for cleanliness. Dirty underwear littered the floor, and the roommate allegedly went months without showering. Yes, months. If that wasn’t enough, she took to clipping her toenails directly into the carpet at 3 a.m., leaving “souvenirs” that lingered all year.
The last straw came in the form of strange, unmistakable nighttime sounds. Upon investigation, Isabella discovered the noises were, in fact, her roommate’s very public displays of intimacy with her girlfriend. That was when Isabella finally decided enough was enough and moved out, leaving Illinois behind and a cautionary tale behind her.
“This got so much worse than I expected,” one follower comments.
“My jaw is on the floor…idk how you could stay for 4 months,” adds another.
“When you said “freshman year of college” I just knewwwww” one more chimes in.
While some on TikTok fixated on the satanist angle, most viewers were horrified by the hygiene disasters. Comments ranged from “This is my worst nightmare” to “I’m so glad you moved out,” solidifying this story as the new gold standard for “roommate from hell.”
