11 Reasons My Roommates Are The Worst

Sure, your roommates are bad because they don’t clean up after themselves, forget to flush the toilet, and hit on your sister. But worst of the worst? No, that title belongs to the six hooligans that I share a creaky old house with. Here are eleven reasons why my roommates make yours look like Snow White's seven dwarfs (seven men who kept their cottage in the woods spotless without a vacuum, disinfectant, or recognizable personal hygiene).

1. My roommates buy kitchen necessities.

My roommates are smart and helpful, or at least think they are. They figure liquid can be consumed straight from the faucet or carton or jug. So, they replaced all our glasses with peanut butter, athletic, and B cups. Sure, they’re cups, but they’re not adjusting to their new job very well.

2. Their bodies heal.


At first it seemed great when one of my roommates was carrying his crutches instead of using them. And honestly it was exciting to see my other roommate carrying a wheelchair, until I saw the old woman crawling after him.

3. They feel for me.


Just once this year I want to be reminded of what hooking up feels like, but every time I let my roommates know I’ve got an eye on a girl, they beat me to her and I go home with nothing to feel but a great deal of loneliness.

4. They tell me I look good.


I already know I look good, I don’t need them to tell me that. And even if I didn’t look good it’s not their job to try to give me self-worth. Back off bro, I look incredible, especially when I wear those jeans.

5. We have similar interests.


We like delivery services; I like UPS, but they like FedEx. We like celebrities; I like John Wayne, but they like John Wayne Gacy. We like entertainment; I like the Simpsons, but they think Jessica and Ashlee aren’t effective performers. How am I supposed to live with people who think this way about two of the greatest stars of our generation?

6. They like my family.


I understand it, my family's pretty cool. But my sister isn't cool enough to invite over while I'm not home, and neither is my dad. Also if you're going to invite them over you might as well invite my mom too. Now she feels left out and is asking me why my friends don't like her.

7. They're rude.


Sometimes they're rude.

8. They clean up after me.

In life, timing is everything, and my roommates have taken that to heart. That's why they cheat their way off the chore chart by washing the counter after I wash it, vacuuming after I vacuum, and wiping after I wipe.

9. They continuously shock and stun me.

Maybe that sounds nice to you, as if they baked me cookies, or enjoy sudoku as much as I do. But that’s not it at all, my roommates have Tasers.

10. They tell me I eat like a bird.


First, they tell me I eat like a pig. Then when I try to eat like a bird, they aren’t willing to chew my food for me. At least your roommates have your back, or are consistent in their criticism.

11. They give me alone time.

At first I thought it was nice, but I haven't seen them for a few days and am wondering if they might have moved out without telling me.

Now that you understand just how bad they could be, maybe you’ll give your roommates a pass next time they leave their dish on the counter. Maybe even realize that despite their quirks and annoying habits, they're some of the best friends you have. Unless of course you don't like them at all and are miserable around them because they're total nut jobs, then you should definitely move out.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

There have been many lessons learned.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
