12 Signs That You And Your Roommate Are Meant To Be

Roommates don't have to be best friends, but it's great when they are.

12 Signs That You And Your Roommate Are Meant To Be
Bridget Kelly

Thanks for folding my laundry when I don't want to.


Finding a roommate you love is probably one of the most underratedly challenging things you'll ever experience in college. Okay, maybe I'm exaggerating. But you catch my drift. Going from living with your family and having a room of your own for 18 years, then suddenly having to squeeze into a dorm room, it can be tough. But if you're as lucky as I am, you get a roommate who you just click with. You start to wonder where this person has been for the last 18 years of your life and how you've been living without them. Life without them suddenly becomes unimaginable and you realize that you, simply, are meant to be.


1. You've heard them introduce themselves so many times you could do it yourself at this point.

First name. Last name. Hometown. Major. TV Show they were obsessed with at the age of 12. You shamelessly know it all.

2. Nothing is off limits between you two.

"Does this text make me sound too desperate?" "Are you cool if I wear that cute shirt of yours?" "Heads up... I'm probably gonna sweat a ton if we go out tonight."

3. You are always one step ahead of each other.

That cute boy that just sat down near you at dinner? No need to point him out... Your roommate already noticed him when he first walked into the dining hall.

4. You are so close that people confuse you as being sisters.

Biologically no, but...

5. Breaks are dreaded, while walking in the door after classes is what you look forward to.

Separation anxiety. It's a real thing.

6. You always support one another, no matter how stupid the subject matter might be.

*Cue cuddle and cry session*

7. You look forward to movie and nap-time together.

You probably have a list of movies and Netflix shows to binge together that quickly became the longest list on your phone.

8. Late night conversations are a must, each and every night.

Whether you went out together or not, there is never a night where you both don't come back and discuss the crazy, and sometimes cringe-worthy, things that occurred earlier in the night.

9. You say "I love you" every time you leave the other.

"I love you!" "I love you more!" Yes, this is a conversation I have had with my roommate... numerous times.

10. Your texts between each other consist of: "When will you be home?" or "I miss you."

Along with many memes, gifs, and a few texts about not wanting to go to class that day.

11. You do everything together.

You live on the same schedule, and are practically attached at the hip.

12. You've already started planning your life together next year.

Can't wait for another year of living with my best friend!

It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. But also a time of stressing over the perfect gift.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

Bucket List To Live In The Now

Find excitement in your life and start exploring wherever you are right here, right now.

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…

Great Value Colleges

If you go to or went to Kent State, then more than likely you have done or will do some of these things.

1. You’ve slipped and fallen on the ice at least once.

The winters at Kent are brutal, and while the heated sidewalks and some great snow boots are always a help, there’s no chance you won’t bust it on the ice at least once in your four plus years at school.
