I (18F) am in my second semester of my first year of college. Over the break I got a new roommate Lucy (19F). She's been pretty anti-social but I feel like I've respected her space so far; we're certainly not friends, but we're friendly, at least we were. Last night she was gone for a few hours and while she was gone, I was doing some cleaning when I noticed something on her desk. At first I thought it was sand from a trip to an island or something and just wanted to take a closer look at it. I was trying to figure out what kind of sand it was when Lucy came home unexpectedly early. Literally in that exact moment I realized what was in the vial (ashes) and tried to put it back, but it was too late. She started screaming at me and kicked me out. Luckily my boyfriend was kind enough to let me come over and sleep on his floor for the night. I feel so terrible but it was an honest mistake, if you say you haven't snooped before, you're lying. Obviously, death is a deeply sensitive topic so I don't blame her for freaking out a little, but am I really in the wrong here?
