Many people say don’t live with your best friends because you'll end up wanting to never see each other again. I completely disagree, moving in with my best friends was the best decision I could’ve made. They are my hypemen, support, and family, and I couldn't imagine living with anyone else.
1. They support you no matter what
I am constantly banging on my roommates’ doors to get advice. Somehow, even if what I decide to do is the complete opposite of what they said, they will still support me. Now, maybe this is a bad thing if they support some of my more risky decisions, but ultimately, I know these ladies have my back.
2. You can get ready together
Imagine not only having one closet full of clothes and shoes, but three. It is an absolute dream. Living with my best friends has led to an infinite amount of outfit possibilities, and there is always someone around to help you pick out the perfect outfit.
3. You make the most amazing memories
Binge-watching Netflix, cooking our first meal together, trying to cope with the upstairs neighbors (who don't know how to be quiet), and so much more. Living with your besties makes you remember the hilarious inside jokes, mishaps, and embarrassing stories. But the good news is you get to make even more when you live together. I swear we never stop laughing.
4. It's the ultimate slumber party
Living with your best friends is like a constant slumber party. Binge watching rom coms or scary movies while pigging out on pizza and ice cream is by far my favorite thing...what more could you possibly need? Plus, having someone to constantly gossip with is just a bonus.
5. You learn to appreciate each other even more
You will learn to appreciate each other more than you could ever imagine. It's the little things, like coming home from class and your bestie has already made dinner because she knew you were gonna be tired. Or maybe your roommate brings you your binder at nine in the morning because you forgot it at home and they don’t have class until one.
6. You have a shoulder to cry on when needed
College is rough and sometimes we all need to cry it out. I know that I can have a breakdown and my roomies will immediately try and make me feel better. School, life and everything else gets hard—don't go through it alone.
7. You learn a LOT about each other
I have learned many things I wanted to know and many that I didn’t need to know about my best friends by living with them. But all these weird and funny quirks that they have make me love them that much more (I’m sure they think I’m just as crazy as they are).
8. You hold each other accountable
One thing that I love about living with my best friends is that they keep me on track. If I’m procrastinating, or vice versa, we call each other out to get it done. Sundays are homework days and we all sit together at the table blasting random throwbacks, having dance parties, all while managing to finish our homework.
Ultimately, living with my best friends couldn’t be more fun. I know that they will always push me to be the best version of myself and have my back. So why not take a chance and room with your bestie? It might be the best decision you ever make.
