Freshman year is a year for new things. New classes, new friends, and a whole new living situation. Some of us are blessed with amazing roommates which inevitably comes with some interesting experiences.
Doing laundry at strange times of the night
Simply walking together to put your dirty clothes in the washing machine at 3 am is an adventure.
Putting off cleaning out the mini fridge
Eating whatever you both can find for breakfast
My roommate and I did it all. Popcorn, cold pizza, leftover Thai food, basically anything we could get our hands on before we ran out the door.
Dealing with each other’s alarms
It takes everything in you to NOT get up and strangle your roomie when her alarm goes off at 5:30 am…for a 10 am class.
Trying to do homework together and ending up talking all night
Walking down to the lobby to let each other in after forgetting your key card
I’m pretty sure I forgot my card on a weekly basis. If it weren’t for my roomie, I would probably be living in the lobby.
Wearing each other’s clothes. All the time.
Shopping in each other’s closets is a given. And it’s nice to have someone dress you when you can’t figure out what to wear.
Being each other’s #1 fans
No matter how much the 2 am shower concerts may get on your nerves, you know you would miss her rendition of Justin Bieber.
Perfecting the art of gourmet junk food
It may take weeks, but eventually you’ll manage to figure exactly what to add to the microwavable food to make it perfect.
Missing her when she goes home for the weekend
As nice as it may be to be alone for a few days, you’ll eventually start to miss the private concerts, the cuddles, and the constant company.
