Your housemates become your best friends very quickly: not only because they know too much already, but also since they are the only people who see you dance in your mouse PJs on a Saturday night and still love you for who you are. Here are the 32 things that happen in the house once you hit that level in your relationship...

1. If you have not seen them for a day, it feels like ages.

*Doesn't see a housemate for two class periods* "Oh my gosh, I miss you!"

2. Your snacks become public property.

That's partially why you hide the good chips in your room.

3. Wardrobe merging becomes real.

4. Staying in with them are always more fun than going out with a random bunch.

Bonus points if take-out Chinese food is involved.

5. When you go out, one of them tags along to make sure you don't text your ex or walk home with a creepy old dude.

There will be times that you will hang out at a bar in your PJs, because you are just there to pick up your homies.

6. Everyone is responsible for your fashion choices.

"Do I look hot?" "Yes, you look hot in that fleece... For an Eskimo."

7. There is a “pick-up” system you developed to make sure everyone is home safely after a night out.

There will be a moment of panic when you are not sure if you were supposed to pick up the ones who are going home with other people. "Wait! Was Jess coming with us or going home with John?"

8. You make sure that you can locate everyone before going to bed.

A mental Excel file with names and checkboxes will do wonders.

9. The emergency debriefings become a part of your life, including while one of you is in bathroom, sleeping, or class.

"Oh my gosh! Colin texted me that he wants to be more than friends?!

*Sticks her head out of the shower*

"Hold on, I'll be right out. Don't say anything yet."

10. “Over-sharing” is not a word you use in the household.

Bodily functions will be a subject you'll revisit often.

11. You memorize each other’s take-out orders and dietary tendencies.

There is a clear distinction between what's in your trashcan (empty Ben & Jerry's cartons) and your housemate's waste bin (organic paleo vegan kosher non-GMO canned curry pumpkin soup cans).

12. If you make any kind of food, you make sure it is allergy-free for everyone, in case they want to try it.

Making a grocery list has never been this complicated.

13. Seeing each other in towels/half naked does not bother you at all.

14. Going days without showering also does not alarm anyone.

If anything, they comfort you with coming clean about how it's been two months since they did laundry.

15. You have an action plan for every house member to cheer them up.

"Cuddle Kaleigh: check. Make chocolate chip muffins for Alicia: check"

16. When one of you is crying, you seriously can’t fall asleep until they stop.

Especially if it is nighttime... You put on your boxing gloves in case you need to punch someone.

17. You do rounds to check in with everyone to see how they are doing.

"Just tell me what is wrong, dammit!"

18. If someone hurts one of you, you share a burning hatred towards that someone.

19. Falling asleep in each other’s beds becomes a regular thing.

20. Random dance parties and lip-sync battles happen at least once a week.

Because you absolutely have to dance to the song "Golddigger" on a Sunday morning while making coffee.

21. If there is a problem, no one acts like a passive-aggressive loser.

22. "I'm not judging" becomes your house motto.

It is only a shame if your housemates don't high-five you for finishing a large pizza by yourself.

23. When one of you cancels on another friend to stay home and watch Netflix, everyone backs up her excuse behind the ditching.

"OK, if anyone asks, I was doing homework all day. Don't mention going out for brunch or online shopping."

24. You quickly realize there is no shame in banging on the door and yelling, “Get out of the shower, I have to pee!”

25. Also no shame in asking for a roll of toilet paper via text.

26. You know who is sensitive about what.

Note to self: Whatever you do, do not touch her oranges.

27. You snap each other from your beds.

28. If one of you is leaving for longer than a month, you start making plans to visit them.

And the person who is leaving already start making plans for you guys to do during the visit.

29. Running out of conversation is never a problem.

30. Staying up until late hours to study becomes less depressing in their company.

31. You are bored to tears if the house is empty for more than two hours.

Can't even watch the new episode of "House of Cards" because you promised to watch it together.

32. You look forward to goimg home at the end of the day to hang out with the people you love.
