Ah, college. The time when you live in dingy dorms, meet new people and create memories that'll last a lifetime. You only have one problem: Your roommate. Now, if you're blessed to have an amazing roommate, congratulations. On the other hand, if you're cursed with an obnoxious or creepy roommate, you may spend your days in living hell. Here's a list of 15 roommates you may experience in college.
1. The Obnoxious One
You honestly can't remember a moment when they weren't talking obnoxiously loud on the phone, blasting their music for their jam session of one or making strange noises in the middle of the night. You are just awaiting for the moment they go home for the weekend so you can get the peace and quiet you rightfully deserve.
2. The Hipster
No matter how many times you try to reach out and be friendly, they are just "too cool" for you. They'd rather kick you out of your room to devour ten boxes of pizza with their hipster friends, listen to soft grunge and pop wheelies in the room, leaving you to clean up their skid marks. Not cool.
3. The Over-Involved Student
Your roommate is always super stressed about the four papers they have to write, their subpar job at a grimy take-out place, their board position on student government, the five clubs they're involved with, their time-consuming internship and their Greek life. You really hope they're okay, because they're a sinking mess.
4. The Partier
It seems like every night they get all dressed up and head out with their friends to a night of parties, only for them to stumble back into your dorm and for you to take care of their hangover.
5. The Hardcore Studier
All day and all night your roommate is tirelessly studying to keep up their 4.0 GPA. You ask if they want to go get something to eat. They then answer with complete silence as they stare at their flashcards with despair.
6. The Ghost
You swear they're a ghost because they're literally never there. All that privacy seems pretty nice, but you can get a bit lonely sometimes...please come home, roomie.
7. The Health Enthusiast
You're absolutely done with your overly-healthy roommate trying to shove their vegetables down your throat as they complain to you about your disgusting eating habits. You just wish to eat your pint of ice cream in peace with no judgement.
8. The Psycho
You might actually be a little terrified of them. They always appear out of nowhere, mutter some creepy words under their breath and you have this feeling that they're staring at you when you sleep. Be afraid.
9. The Slob
You can't even find your roommate amongst the piles of clothes and pizza boxes scattered around the room. It's getting pretty gross and there's an unidentified smell that lingers in the room...send help.
10. The Politician
You love how passionate they are about the future of America, but you're tired of hearing "Trump this" and "Hillary that." You can't fathom how much more committed to voter's registration they are than the campaigners who annoyingly attack you outside the library every day.
11. The Gym Junkie
You envy your roommate's athleticism and willingness to travel to the gym as you have a mini food coma from eating an entire bag of hot Cheetos in bed. Your only wish is for them to do their smelly laundry a bit more often and maybe shower right when they get back from the gym. Just because they don't realize how sweaty they are doesn't mean you don't.
12. The Shy Guy
You don't think you've ever actually held a conversation with your roommate. You think there's something wrong with you, that you're the reason they trap themselves in the room in complete silence. Was it something you said?
13. The Clean Freak
You appreciate their excellent hygiene but when your roommate has a problem with you even leaving crumbs on your desk or leaving the trash overflowing for another day, all hell breaks loose.
14. The Drug Dealer
Okay, you honestly don't want to associate yourself with or get caught in the middle of your roommate's drug deal. Imagine getting busted by the RA, or even worse, the UP. You desperately hope they find somewhere else to live so you don't have to worry about getting into some serious legal trouble.
15. The Minister
Your roommate will constantly annoy you with words of prayers from their Lord and Savior any time of the day. Over and over again. You may practice a different faith or not affiliate at all, but that doesn't make waking up to loud gospel music every morning when you have a 12 p.m. any better.
