Community living can be quite awkward and just plain messy, but unfortunately, it’s a pretty unavoidable part of college. There are a ton of TV shows that reveal the trial and error of having a roommate but one of my go tos for relatable content is the TV show Friends. While we all love the shenanigans, there’s actually a lot of life lessons we can take from Friends gang to make our living situation a little more fun and tolerable.

And there you have it! Now you can never say no one told you life was going to be this way *clap clap*. Let’s hope our college living situation can be as fun and crazy as the friends cast.
