I'll admit I wasn't very mature, but isn't compromise a sign of maturity? so she should compromise. Drop the grounding and the new chores and I'll step my game up academically and chore wise. I'll also spend Saturday nights at 1 in the morning listening as to why ( insert girl's name here) is a horrible untrustworthy girl who is using you.
She has no reason to compromise. You're not getting that. People compromise when they both hold some of the power and need to find a solution both can live with. You have no power because you're paying for nothing and living off of her hard-earned money, so there's zero reason to bother compromising with you.
Your proposal is that if she drops the punishment, you'll do what you were supposed to be doing in the first place. That gains her nothing. Here's a proposal: stop making excuses. Go to class, do your work and bring home A's. Don't get drunk, do your chores without being told and learn to be a man, so that when you do leave her house someday, you'll have learned something. Not only could these lessons help you just in general, they will also prepare you to be in a relationship one day. You think women really want a man who has to be threatened to lift a finger around the house? Who is fine with mediocre work? Who thinks he is entitled to everything without paying for it. If you're smart, you'll ignore that you don't like the delivery of these lessons and learn from them anyway.
Again, you don't like the girl advice? Don't bring your dates home. You bring this all on yourself.
exactly, which is why if I ever become a father, my son/daughter won't be grounded for having 3 drinks
It does NOT matter how many drinks. It matters that you are 19 and not legal to drink. Even ONE drink in this situation is too many.
You are ignoring the fact that unless you move out and pay your own way, you have to abide by your parent's and your cousin's rules.
I do believe she should not be commenting on the girls you are dating. And, btw, don't these girls have their own apartments (with or without roommates) where you could *chill?*

I go to class everyday, i work hard, bring home good grades. I don't get drunk. I don't feel entitled to everything w/o paying for it. I'm not threatened to do house work either.
Life is hard. Life isn't fair. No one has to compromise with the 19-year old who was raised by spineless parents.
Get a helmet.
BTW: Your competition for future employment is NOT on the internet complaining, making circular arguments and attempting to manipulate people. They're hitting the books to ace mid-terms. That's very comforting to me. I LIKE knowing the people who will be in charge of nuclear power plants in 20 years will know which switches to pull in case the core overheats.

Jumping out of a helicopter while taking enemy fire is hard.
Having a spouse with cancer while you take care of three young children is hard.
Getting laid off when you have a mortgage and a family to support is hard.
Losing a limb in an accident and having to relearn basic life tasks is hard.
You're complaining about:
1. Having to make your bed before leaving the house
2. Not being allowed to drink when you're underage
3. Not being allowed access to the phone/TV (that she pays for) when you break the house rules
Can you see how your argument is coming off as petty in the grand scheme?
No... Roommates would be when both (or all) people living in the home chip in for shared living expenses (rent, cable, phone, electricity, etc...). Being someone's roommate has nothing to do with your bed.
