15 Signs Your Roommate Is Actually Your Best Friend

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Cal Poly chapter.

Shelley and I have been going to school together since we were five. We’ve done Girl Scouts together, we went through our extremely awkward stages together and we danced the night away at our high school prom together.

However, it wasn’t until this school year at Cal Poly that we became roommates and best friends!

1. Living together is never boring…

2. Your reaction when cute boys like your Instagram and Facebook photos…

3. Your Harry Potter obsession is an every day part of life…

4. Talking about what your summer workout plan consists of… or doesn’t.


5. When your ex-boyfriend sends you a text to hang out, this reaction is necessary…

6. When you go downtown and everyone constantly annoys you…

7. Planning your outfits for the day automatically turns into a fashion show…

8. Your dance moves will always be great…

9. Talking about the constant struggles of your love life…

10. When you’re driving and your favorite song comes on…

11. There is no judgement when either of you want to go out on a weekday…

12. When they go home for the weekend, you can’t handle being alone…


13. All either you can think about is food… 24-7…


14. When you walk into a party together…

15. In the end, they will always be your best friend.
