11 Reasons Why Having Two Roommates Is Better Than One
Brooke Nalesnik

It's Disney College Program check in day. It is finally the day that I would find out where I would be living for the summer and how many roommates I would have! I walk up to the podium and the cast member writes on my program guide, "two bedroom, five person, Patterson Court." Two bedrooms? I can do that...but five people?! That only means one thing...I got stuck in a triple occupancy room. So I started thinking, "one bedroom with three girls' stuff packed in there, are you kidding me? How is this going to work?" Back then, I couldn't understand how this would ever work, but looking back on it now, I could not imagine it any other way. Last summer, I got the opportunity to live with two amazing individuals who have changed my life in a way that I did not even know was possible. After living in one room, with two other girls, for three months, here are 11 reasons why I would not have changed my experience for the world.

1. Two is a couple. Three is a party.


2. You no longer have one wardrobe, because now, you have three. Sharing is caring.


3. Your schedules will almost never be the same, but when they are, you know it's going to be a good night.


4. After living together for so long, when they leave for vacation or go stay with friends at a hotel, you basically want to cry because you miss the company.


5. Even when you can no longer keep your eyes open, you live for the work stories that your roommate comes home with after working until 1 AM.


6. When one of your roommates gets acknowledged for something or gets recognized for an achievement, there are two cheerleaders waiting to celebrate when she gets home.


7. If you thought jam sessions in your car were fun, imagine having a full band to back you up.


8. When there's any type of work drama, you know you've got two people who have your back and will agree with you no matter what.


9. When everyone has the day off together, the excitement is too real.


10. When it is finally time to leave and go back home, you feel like you're leaving a part of you behind.


11. You become an Ohana. After all, Ohana means family, family means nobody gets left behind, or forgotten.

The idea of three girls in one room never seemed appealing to me, but I could not be more thankful for all of the love and support that they gave me over the course of that summer. Those two random girls became my support system in just three short months, and I could not imagine my life without them in it. In just three months, three strangers became more than just friends; we became an Ohana. I am thankful that fate brought us together, and I would do it all over again if I could.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
