Your college roommate is basically “home” for you. Chances are you two have lived together for the past several years, and are a little too comfortable than either of you would admit to anyone. You walk around half naked, you burp at an ungodly level and you criticize each other face-to-face with much love. It doesn’t get any better than that, really. The daily conversations and questions have gotten predictable by now, without even realizing it. What are the most common ones? Here are some of my memorable favorites:
1. “Want to skip class to go do *insert anything but class here*?
Guilty times like, 20, at least. In no way am I encouraging skipping class, because it’s really not worth it for any other reason than being sick or for a family emergency. You pay for that, just go, most classes are only 50 minutes long, you will live. But some days you really just need to make a lazy exception.
2. “Did you already read that chapter, because if you did, can you just tell me what it said?”
If you have the same class as your roommate, and they care a little more about that particular class than you do, take some advantage of it honestly. But still, skim the chapter on your own. Everyone receives information differently, so it kind of is a must to read your textbooks unfortunately.
3. “Dude what are we going to have for dinner?”
Every night this is an issue. The struggle of not wanting poopy campus food, but not wanting to drive to the store to buy stuff to cook yourself.
4. “Omg guess what just happened”
Probably something you won’t even remember next week, but extremely relevant and hype at that current moment.
5. “Did he text you at all?”
Relationship status: currently involved with a f*ck boy/girl who is playing games.
6. “The campus bus didn’t hit me today so I still have to pay for my tuition, so that sucks”
Kind of funny, kind of pathetic.
7. “What’s wrong with you?”
Asking what is wrong with a hint of attitude because you may be the reason they are pissed.
8. “Will you go to Sheetz with me?”
Or anywhere really, let’s just go somewhere and get food.
9. “Can you take a picture of me?”
My poor roommate is about to get the wrath of this question for the third year in a row, she never learns.
10. “I hate my professor, listen to this bullsh*t, *tells ridiculous story*”
This is an often occurrence I have; daily if I’m being completely honest.
11. “How am I going to live without you while on break?”
Can’t live with them some days, but really can’t live without them.
