13 Reasons Why I Can't Wait To Be My Best Friend's College Roommate

Double trouble, am I right?

13 Reasons Why I Can't Wait To Be My Best Friend's College Roommate
Carly Sumpter

I feel as if our parents should be scared. Their crazy daughters are going to be roommates and away at college on their own. From jamming out to our favorite Broadway Musicals, such as Hamilton and Dear Evan Hansen, to us being so lazy and probably skipping class together. Here is a list of things that I can't wait to conquer with you in college:

1. Packing together.

Who wouldn't want their best friend with them as they pack for college?

2. Shopping and decorating together.

Seriously, going to Michaels, knowing we're probably going to make half of our own decorations. The paint, wooden letters, succulents, buying random pieces of wood to just make any kind of decor we can think of. I can't wait to decorate our room with pictures of us from way back when; even the embarrassing ones.

3. The giant family reunion when moving in.

Your family is my family, so our parents will probably be talking like they've been best friends for years and our siblings will be fighting like... well you know... siblings.

4. Making friends together.

Only certain people are going to be able to handle our weirdness together.

5. Picking out classes together.

We HAVE to have the right ratio of class times and room times so we don't get too annoyed with each other.

6. Going to get Cold Stone or Subway together at midnight.

2 out of 3 of my favorite things.

7. Study Nights.

"Study" nights. More like us just watching vines all night and playing with Snapchat filters.

8. The countless, sleepless nights of laughter.

I mean that happens even when we don't live together.

9. The family visits.

Let's be honest, if my parents or siblings come and visit, you know they are welcome in the room even when I'm not there and it wouldn't even be weird (and Vice Versa).

10. Shared Closets!!!!!!!!!

FINALLY, someone to switch clothes with when going to parties or even class, when I don't feel like doing laundry.

11. Binge watching shows together.

I mean we already do this, but now we can do it in OUR room.

12. Grocery Shopping trips.

Diets? What's that?

13. Spring Break.

We actually might be able to pull off planning our very own Spring Break trip together. Hello, Ocean is that you calling? I think so.


Yes, We're going to argue and things are probably going to be complicated, but there is no one else I would rather live with. I am so happy that the person I met in 2003 in daycare is going to my roommate in the fall of 2017!

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.
