There’s one of us in every roommate situation. We leave our clothes everywhere, we leave trash out and we never make our beds. In short, we are total slobs and you should avoid living with us messy people at all costs. But hey, it’s college, we don’t have time to clean the room! Or is it really that we are just lazy and don’t give a damn? Eh, probably both.
1. You are guilty of every mess until proven innocent.
You automatically become the scapegoat and there’s nothing to do about it.
2. Your clothes seem to magically disappear.
And you claim that girl stole it. Until you find it the next week… or month.
3. There are at least 5 pairs of shoes scattered around your bed.
And you trip on them every morning on your way out to class, but still don’t put them away.
4. One of your chairs has become the designated “chair.”
If you think that chair has ever been sat in, you're wrong.
5. Since you can’t use the chair at your desk, you study at the kitchen table.
Leaving it covered with all your sh*t.
6. You don’t bother to use one of those cute makeup organizer caddies.
Cosmetics are stored in the travel bag I packed them in, if they’re stored at all.
7. The only time your bed has been made was move-in day before you snapped a picture of your new set-up.
Don’t be fooled by that Instagram post, the bed has been a complete wreck since.
8. Your sheets hang half-off your bed and you don’t even care.
Gross? Definitely. But way too lazy to do anything about it.
9. Your roommates don’t even know where to start looking in your closet when they ask to borrow clothes.
”Oh yeah, that shirt? Hm… I mean it’s somewhere in there.”
10. If you notice something in the fridge is expired, you just kind of keep it in there.
And hope no one eats it.
11. Your roommates are stunned every time you vacuum.
Or more accurately, that one time you vacuumed.
12. And you get the same exact reaction when you offer to take out the trash.
You feel like the backbone of the family during this moment.
13. Your roommates are scared to leave you unattended for a weekend.
Seriously? The lack of trust.
14. Clean laundry stays in the hamper for at least a week.
Or until the next time you realize you have to do laundry.
15. You have way too many socks missing their pair.
Didn’t you know, mismatching socks is the new trend.
16. Your keys like to play jokes and hide from you in strange places.
Leaving you locked out of the room one too many times.
17. You don’t even recognize your room after you finally decided it was time to clean up.
You probably have thought to yourself, “wow, has my room always been this big!?” or “oh I forgot my rug was gray."
