A hallmate is defined as one who lives in the same hall of a residence as another person. However, a hallmate is much more than a next-door neighbor. A hallmate is someone you can always count on to do things with. And for me personally, a hallmate is the roommate I no longer have.
1. Binge-watch Netlix
2. Go on Walmart runs
It's 2 a.m. and you absolutely need more Arizona tea, or you're out of tampons, toothpaste or shampoo, so you barge into your hallmate's room and beg them to drive you since you're careless and for some odd reason they say yes. Or maybe you just want to fool around in Walmart like the girl above.
3. Share closets
Double, triple, or even quadruple amount of outfit options? Um, yes please! Plus your hall mates always have quirky signature pieces you can't find anywhere.
4. Gossip or vent
Your hallmates know everything about you and every boy/girl you like or don't like, and you know everything about them and the boys/girls they like or don't like.
5. Order way too much pizza
Spending $20 on pizza to have garlic breath is a recurring occurrence in college and it's OK.
6. Help each other with schoolwork
Whether it's tutoring each other, lending each other supplies, or complaining about the class instead, your hallmates always be there to help even if it's not the best idea.
7. Have sleepovers
Sleepovers are not "so middle school." Sleepovers are awesome!
8. Party
This one is a given. Your hallmates will always be done to party with you.
9. Shower together
No, I don't mean actually shower in the same shower. I mean bring your speakers in and shower at the same time, while jamming out to some Jimmy Buffet of course.
10. Watch old Disney movies
Old Disney did it better and some days "Cheetah Girls" at 12:30 a.m. is just what you need.
11. Go on adventures
Your hallmates are usually up for anything: hiking, trying new things, causing trouble, etc.
12. Nap
Napping alone is fun, but napping with a hallmate is even more fun!
13. Cuddle
This goes with napping. Nothing is better than cuddles with your hallmates.
14. Give each other advice
You and your hallmate give each other boy advice, fashion advice, friend advice, and any other advice you might need.
15. Go on food runs
Cook Out, Chick-fil-A, Sheetz, Starbucks, you name it, most hall mates have made a food run there.
16. Sit and do nothing
Some people think it's weird sitting and doing nothing, but that's because they just can't handle it, but you and your hallmates can and do for hours.
17. Eat meals together
You're hungry? Don't want to go alone? A hallmate will be feeling the exact same way and, bam, both of your problems are solved!
18. Have dance sessions
My gymnastics coach always said, "When in doubt, dance it out." Let's face it, college is full of doubts, so dancing it out with your hallmates is a must.
19. Walk straight into their rooms
Knocking is nice, but not always necessary with your hall mates. You find yourself walking into their rooms on the daily for just about anything.
20. Take care of each other
Mom and dad might not be at school, but my hallmates are and they make sure I'm safe, happy, and healthy, which is very much appreciated.
21. Love each other
This is the most important one out of the whole entire list and is self-explanatory.
