12 Things That Happen When You Become Best Friends With Your College Roommate

When you met your roommate, it was a little awkward and your conversations were full of questions. Which side of the room do you want? Should we coordinate décor? Do you want to come hang out with me and some other people I literally just met?

After getting to know their pet peeves, favorite things and the differences or similarities between you two, you couldn't help but spend every moment with each other. It's hard not to when you wake up next to each other every morning at school.


1. You spend some nights up way later than you meant to just because you were talking.

Despite the lack of sleep, you always end up feeling better after a couple of hours of venting about boys, friends, school and work.

2. You watch TV shows and movies together.

Don't you dare watch "The Bachelor" without me.

3. You take care of each other.

Whether you're sick or you won't be home from work before the dining hall closes, they'll willingly pick up food for you or run to the drug store for cough drops, tissues, and Nyquil. Thanks to my second mom.


4. Sometimes you take it too far with being brutally honest.

I got so much done today, what did youdo? Dude, you have to clean up this week. You're wearing that? How late were you up last night? Are you drunk? You need to get your life together, man.

5. You don't know what to do when they aren't there.

What time should I go to bed? Do I just go to the dining hall alone? Blasting music and dancing by myself just doesn't feel the same.

6. You've made plans to get together during breaks from school.

Whether you're just a couple of towns apart or all the way across the country, you will see each other again.

7. You actually do stuff together.

Whether it be going to a show, or spontaneously going to get piercings together, you spend quality time with each other off campus and outside of your dorm room abode.

But staying in is your plan the majority of the time...

8. You know all of their friends from high school.

Yeah I knows who you are, what you look like, and what you did to her during your junior year of high school, and I hate you just as much as she does.

9. Their parents are your parents.

When they FaceTime, they're FaceTiming the both of you.

10. They know what they do that pisses you off, but they also know your favorite things in the world.

Maybe you can make up for not closing the closet door if you bring home a couple Hummingbird cupcakes.

11. No judgement exists between you two once you cross the threshold of your dorm room.

“Yeah I'm going to put a tampon in right now, because I forgot to bring one to the bathroom with me." “Can I use your pimple popper?"

12. Other people are constantly telling you that you're so lucky to get along with your roommate so well.

And there's no denying it, it's pretty awesome to be able to introduce someone as not only your roommate, but also as one of your best friends.

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.
