25 Things That Happen When Your Roommate Is Also Your Best Friend

If you're anything like me, you hit the roommate lottery jackpot. Someone who gets you on every level, who laughs with you, cries with you, shares your interests, accepts your (many many) crazy quirks. If you're lucky, your roommate is also your best friend. Here's 25 signs you've hit that amazing best friend-roommate hybrid stage with your person, your roommate, your best friend:

1. Your clothes are their clothes.

Twice the closets, twice the fun.

2. They're your plus-one to all events.

You're a package deal.

3. And because of that, people have probably questioned if you're dating.

It's fine. Nod and smile.

4. Late-night food dates are a staple to your friendship.

Steak and Shake run at 1am on a Tuesday? Absolutely.

5. The sheer amount of pictures you have together is a little ridiculous.

Who else would you take pictures with anyway?

6. You have a way of texting that is probably unintelligible to anyone else but you.

You can also probably text solely through emojis and GIFs at this point.

7. You get separation anxiety after being apart for more than an hour.

Living together, eating together, studying together, and sleeping 10 feet away from each other isn't enough.

8. Their family becomes your family.

Might as well hyphenate your last name.

9. NO topic is off boundaries.

Not to mention they are a CIA-grade Facebook stalker.

11. If aforementioned relationship goes badly, they're the first person to come up with code names and backup.

"YOU ARE THE SUN AND HE IS THE SCUM."

12. You're each other's worst distractions when trying to study.

Or: "How many gummy worms do you think I can fit in my mouth without choking?"

13. They press "send" on all the emails/texts/DMs that you're too afraid to send.

That message to your crush? Written and sent by them.

14. Your late-night conversations are unparalleled.

2pm shower thoughts make for the best 2am bedtime talks.

15. You've probably slept in the same bed at one point or another.

You share a room...why not share the bed, too?

16. When one of you is sick, the other immediately turns on mom-mode.

The stash of NyQuil in their closet is just a testament to their love for you.

17. They are your entire Snapchat story, daily.

No one else is interesting enough, obviously.

18. You can't fight with each other for longer than a day.

You have way too much to tell each other after three hours.

19. When one of you pulls an all-nighter for class, so does the other.

If you suffer, I suffer with you.

20. You can ask them ridiculous questions without fear of judgment.

(They can't because they do the same thing.)

21. You feel no pressure (ever) to be presentable around them.

They'll even join you in the sweatpants and last night's makeup party.

22. You text them while they're sitting in the same room.

They need a play-by-play of your brain in silence, obviously.

23. Waking up is infinitely more fun in the morning with them by your side.

It's an all-year sleepover.

24. You know exactly what they're thinking...even if they don't say a word.

Only a facial expression or gesture needed.

25. You can't imagine living life and doing college alongside anyone else.

Love you, always.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
