Many of you, like me, probably had to go through a time in your life where you had to share your sacred places with at least one of your siblings. Looking back on those times now, I smile and laugh about the memories, but then I also remember the fighting and all the annoying things that come with sharing a room with your sister.
1. Splitting the room half and half
If you have a dresser with six drawers, they get three, and you get three. If they even put a toe on your side of the room, then they have literally crossed the line.
2. The continuous mystery of missing clothes
Time and time and time again your clothes go missing, and they won't show back up for days to weeks. Just to find out it has been in your sister's drawer for 5 days... Because she took it, and yes without asking.
3. The struggle of being the "clean" one
With the amount of hair that gets stuck on your feet, socks, clothes, blankets, and even the wall of the shower... You should be able to gather it up, head down to locks of love, and if calculations are correct you could donate about 20 wigs a year.
7. You dream about what your own room would be like
Oh, the imagination... Pink, blue, dark gray? Or would you do an elephant themed room with one of those cute mosquito net things hanging over your bed like royalty? But don't get too excited, it is just a dream right now after all.
8. If your sister went to a sleepover, it was basically the best night ever
You hear your sister is staying the night at a friends house which means you have the whole room to yourself. This is an extremely exciting moment, even though in all reality, you'll probably end up asleep by 10 P.M. after one movie.
9. The "you turn the light off" nightly argument
It somehow ends up every night that you both are snuggled up in your beds, and the light is still on. So then begins the "you were the last one up, you shut it off"... "But I did last night." Every. Single. Night.
10. All the arguments, but still bedtime talks
Your sister and you can argue all day, or just for 20 minutes, but when the lights go out then starts the laughter of stories, and making fun of mom and dad or your other siblings, and in those 10 minute moments you become best friends all over again.
11. Once you get Your own room, you start to miss the old days
Even if your sister is just down the hall, or moved out altogether, those days become some of your best memories, and you miss staying up and playing Barbie's until 10 o'clock or having easy access to each other's clothes. They'll forever be the ultimate, and your favorite roommate.
