Do you have any qualities of the worst roommate ever?

10 Signs You're the Worst Roommate Ever
Richmond Realty Team

Over the past few years, I've lived with my fair share of roommates. I went from zero to one to three to now seven roommates. Let me tell you, living with people is NOT easy. No one is ever on the same page about anything. Here are a few things I've noticed that make roommates the worst to deal with. If you do any of these, I highly suggest you start changing your habits.

1. You are always late paying the bills

In my house of seven, we have a total of four different bills; Internet, electricity, rent, and water/gas. Collecting everyone's money can be difficult without the help of Splitwise to organize everything for us. When someone is late on a bill, you are holding up everyone else's and the person who's name is on the bill will get screwed over with late fees.

2. You never lock the doors

I live in the city and shootings happen regularly. Theft and burglary happens more often than you think. Locking the doors every time you leave or come in the house is not an unreasonable request for the safety of yourself and your roommates.

3. You leave dishes in the sink and claim that they aren't yours

They are your dishes. Just rinse them off dump them in the dishwasher. Seriously not hard. Also out of the kindness of your own heart, you should just clean whatever's there even if you think they aren't yours.

4. You never clean up after yourself

After you cook, it is as simple as taking a Clorox wipe and wiping down the counters and stove. Food stains are gross and will grow bacteria if you don't clean it up asap.

5. You throw parties with zero notice

"Sorry about the late notice but a bunch of people are coming over to drink tonight!!" is not an acceptable message to get two hours before throwing the biggest party of the year at our house. No excuses. A few people over to drink is fine but 50+ is not with just a few hours notice.

6. You leave your laundry in the washer/dryer

If your clothes sit in the washer for more than two hours with the lid close, mold will start to grow. Also, everyone else also needs to do their laundry too. It's rude to leave your laundry in the machines and leave the house all day. Laundry takes two hours, you can stay at home for two hours and take care of it quickly.

7. You don't take care of your pets

Ugh I cannot stand people who adopt pets and don't understand how much work it takes to care for them. I know one girl who adopted a precious cat but he is ALWAYS peeing on her bed because she NEVER cleans the litter box. If you can't take care of your pets, I'm calling animal control. That animal deserves someone who will take care of him.

8. You never clean the common spaces

Living rooms, bathrooms, the kitchen are all common spaces in the house that everyone is responsible for cleaning up together. I don't care that you "don't use" the space, I know you do and I know you're the one who leaves your trash everywhere.

9. Your friends are ratchet and loud

It's 2am on a Tuesday night and you have a 9am class and your roommates friends are screaming. Stop. Seriously. It's 2am, there's no need to be screaming.

10. You have sex in the common spaces

Seriously, it's disgusting. Yes, it's 2:30 am and you think everyone's asleep. Wrong. I heard you and you're buying me a new couch. The end.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
