Entering college is one of the greatest steps that you will take into becoming an adult. There are no more parents around to tell you what to do and how to live your life and you are left to fend for yourself. While this may be difficult and stressful at times, one of the greatest blessings that college gives us is our roommates. When you live and breathe in the same quarters for a year, you have a relationship that is unlike most others.

1. You share pretty much everything.

Food, clothes, makeup, money, laundry quarters, you name it. This literally takes the saying "mi casa es tu casa" to a whole other level. When you live with someone, your things are bound to be mixed up and in each other's personal space. It just becomes easier to share and double the amount of things you own rather than having to go and spend excess money and time on it.

2. You pick up each other's mannerisms.

The ways that you talk, walk and live life eventually combine and blend together into a mixture of the two of you. In fact, people might even think that you guys are siblings because of how similar you act.

3. They are the first comments and hearts on all your social media.

Of course, they already know what you will be posting ahead of time because you first show them your photo choices and caption options for approval. Who else is going to be your instant number one social media fan?

4. Your friends begin to merge.

They introduce their friends to you and vice versa. You constantly want to be surrounded by your favorite people, and because of that, friend circles begin to expand and also merge together.

5. You know each other's work, school, sleep, and workout schedules.

In fact, you may sometimes know their schedules even better than you know your own. Knowing where they are at almost every moment of the day just makes it easier for you when you get locked out of your apartment or need someone to run emergency errands.

6. They have exceeded your comfort zones.

Maybe you were not comfortable with changing in front of others, crying or breaking down from stress and breakups, or pooping while someone else is in the same house. Well, when you live with someone, you literally will see the best and worst of each other and those limits know no bounds. They have stretched your comfort zones to a universe you did not think even existed.

7. They are on your top speed dials.

You are constantly Facetiming and texting them even when you guys are on the same campus. The amount of virtual communication only heightens when the break comes around because it is so weird to not see them every day.

8. You cannot even begin to imagine college without them.

Your roommate has become your best friend. No one else has lived with you and still loved you for all your faults and worst situations (except your parents of course). Coming into your life at such a malleable time, your roommate has helped shape who you are today, and has become one of the most important people in your life.
