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

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!

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
