Roommates are more than just people you live with. They’re the ones who know EVERYTHING about you… down to what your favorite drunk food is and how often you go to the bathroom. They’re your therapists, your caretakers, your drinking buddies, and they’re the people who guest swipe you for dinner you when you lose your student ID. We’d all be lost without our roommates, and we wouldn’t want to experience the following struggles with anyone else…
1. PMS(ing)
The old myth is true…living together causes cycles to sync up, resulting in extra bitchiness, cravings, and constant crying – only a slight difference from the other 3 weeks of the month.
2. Breaking Boundaries
Peeing with the door open is never awkward, until someone’s boyfriend casually makes an appearance. Woops.
3. Stealing Clothes
Not only spotting your roommate ahead of you in line at the cafeteria, but also half of your closet.
4. Showering
Picking the shower lineup before going out based on whose hair takes the longest to dry…may the odds be ever in your favor.
5. Making Memories
Knowing weekend brunch will last at least two hours, because each of you needs help recapping your night…along with endless smoothies and omelets.
6. Picture Sacrifice
Committing the ultimate friend betrayal is having one roomie take the group shot during the pregame…who forgot the selfie stick?
7. Surviving Hangovers
Waking up to a spinning room, when suddenly an angel appears (aka your roommate with Advil and a venti from Starbucks).
8. Daily Recaps
Spending 50 minutes apart could result in having a 4-hour catch up session because “you’ll never guess who I passed on the way to class.”
9. Priorities
Always having someone to drink with and order Dominos with on a weeknight, because, lets be honest, the gym will be open tomorrow.
10. Finding Your Soul Mates
Regardless of the good, the bad and the ugly- college won’t last forever, but luckily you’ve met your soulmates and best friends for life.
