Coming into college, one of the biggest concerns is "Who is my roommate going to be?" Some are lucky enough to find a best friend, while others, not so much. Hopefully you're one of the lucky ones.
- Their closet is your closet
And who doesn’t like having double the clothes to choose from? When you have a roommate, what’s theirs is yours and what’s yours is theirs, right?
- Someone to help you with the freshman 15
As if trying to maintain your weight at college wasn’t hard enough. Now you always have someone to take a Wendy’s trip with at 2am.
- You’re always peer pressured to go out
You were probably thinking that you were going to stay in and binge watch Friends all night, not anymore. Having a roommate forces you to go out and have fun, but at the end of the night, you’re grateful for that.
- Sleeping is no longer a thing
Whether you’re up all night laughing until you cry or helping each other with homework that you’re both stuck on, you’re guaranteed to be sleeping a lot less.
- Always having someone to tag-a-long
Need to go to Dunkin’, or the mall? It’s basically guaranteed that your roommate will always go with you to run errands or drive around for no reason.
- A shoulder to cry on
No matter if it’s the smallest or biggest of things, they will always be there for you. They know when something is wrong even before you do.
- They become your family
That stranger that was also moving into your room on the first day of school is now your best friend, partner in crime and sister that you never had, but you wouldn’t change it for the world.
