7 Reasons Why You Should Live With Your Best Friend In College

College is hard, your living situation shouldn't be. Rooming with a complete stranger your first year in college has the possibility to be a great thing or the absolute worst. You never know what you could end up with, and some people like the risk and the chance of new friendships but you can never go wrong with doing the opposite. When you have the chance to live with your best friend, take it! Living with your best friend ensures a year full of unforgettable memories. Here are seven reasons why living with your best friend in college will be the best decision you ever make!

1. You make each other laugh

Constantly. You both share the same humor so laughing at the silliest things just come easy. Life is less stressful when you have someone who constantly cracks you up around, and believe me, there will be stressful times in college.

2. Reading each others minds

Best friends don't always have to vocally explain what is on there mind or what they are trying to get across. They just know. Either with a facial expression or a noise, you just know what your best friend is thinking. Life is just easier this way when you don't always have to explain what can only be obvious to your best friend.

3. Know each others moods

Every girl has their healthy dose of mood swings. Living with someone who understands what makes you tick and when you are just done for the day is a huge perk. In college, socializing for some (myself included) can just get exhausting at times. Your best friend knows when your ready to wind down and chill for the day, and frankly will probably do it with you.

4. Enjoy the same things

Having some of the same hobbies will create for a great year of adventure together! No matter what it is, having your best friend by your side to enjoy the things you love most with is a huge blessing.

5. Hold each other accountable

Oh, those midnight munchies can be hard but who better to hold you accountable than someone you love? She cares about you and wants what is best for you. It is a wonderful experience living with someone who brings you closer to God and your goals in life.

6. Make great study-buddies

Studying can be the struggle at times but not when you can take those five minute study breaks with your best friend at your side! No matter where you both choose to study, you both make it better by being in each others company.

7. You trust each other

In college, it can take awhile to find that close group of friends that you had in high school. You come across all different kinds and sorts of people and it is so nice to know that you have at least one person you can totally trust with anything. It is a challenging transition into college life and the adult world so having your consistent best friend to lean on makes the challenge a tad bit easier.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

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.
