13 Ways Your College Roommates Are Just Like The Cast Of Friends

We've all had times our roommates have done something that could've been a scene from the popular TV show.

College is a time for a lot of new things. It's a place where you grow up and attempt to become a responsible adult. It is also a place where more than likely you'll be living with roommates. Quirky, hilarious, sometimes sibling-like, roommates. We've all had moments with our college roommates that are sometimes hard to describe, so here is an attempt with the help of the popular TV show "Friends."

1. When you get back from break and talk about your struggles with the first week back to class.

It is always challenging getting back into the swing of things. Thankfully we have our roommates to share our first day shenanigans with.

2. When you decide to be brave enough to ride shotgun with them.


Having to mentally prepare yourself every time you get in the car, and once you do, constantly pressing on the imaginary brake on the passenger side.

3. When you came to the agreement that Sundays are days where you do basically nothing.

Besides of course hanging out on the couch and only eating food that's delivered to your door.

4. When they make you feel significantly better about not knowing what you want to do with your life.


Every time you panic about your future, it is highly likely that they're doing the same.

5. When you decide you're done growing up and revert back to acting like you're 7 again.

Sometimes you all need to take a break from being responsible and just build a fort in the living room.

6. When they come home and tell you about a new guy they saw on campus.

They decide that they need to forever look cute going to class now because they'll see him, but it will be back to leggings and t-shirts tomorrow.

7. When they start dating a new guy and tell you all the weird things about him.

You're basically dating who they're dating, and know more about the new guys than they would like to imagine.

8. When they decide to cook for you and you have to push through the whole meal.

Some meals may be good, but some could be really really bad. But, it's the thought that counts!

9. When you ask them for advice and they're not always so sure of what to say.

It's tough always knowing what advice to give because life is hard.

10. When they do finally give you advice and sometimes it's a tad questionable.

Even if they're not sure what to say they always try to give you the best advice possible, at least most of the time.

11. When they come into your room before a night out asking for your opinion on their outfit.

Maybe that outfit and shoe combination is not the best option, and it is your roommate duty to tell them exactly how you feel.

12. When they make a very questionable beauty decision.

Yeah, maybe that spray tan was a bit too orange and too dark, and maybe they do look like a burnt cheeto, but hey things happen.

13. When you all are (once again) stressing about your lives.

You're getting to the age you never thought you'd get to. AKA the age where your timelines are filled with engagement and pregnancy announcements of people..who are also your age.

Your college roommates have been through some of the most interesting and challenging times in your life, and you wouldn't have it any other way.

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.
