1. You both get way too personal about your lives.
You’re so open with each other that there are no longer any lines or boundaries to cross. You’ve talked about it all—in detail.
2. Their drama is your drama (and vice versa).
Family drama, friend drama, old roommate drama, we’ve tackled it all. We know exactly who we should be hating on and complaining about in each other’s lives.
3. You keep up with her S.O./FWB on social media more than you do your own.
Not only do you add her S.O./FWB on every social media platform possible, but you also stalk him more often than she does. But don’t worry; it only gets slightly worrisome when you have these actual conversations with your roomie:
“Lol, yeah I saw it on his snap story.”
“Wait, he posted a story?”
“Why won’t he accept my friend request? Can you ask him?”
Or when one of you starts referring to the other’s FWB by his Instagram handle instead of by his first name.
4. Similarly, you get those texts from your roomie saying her FWB is coming over.
Is there ever a day that goes by when we don’t have this conversation?
P.S. Roomie, where you at right now? Oh yeah. I’ll see you tomorrow. ;)
5. You get a second opinion on everything.
Does this outfit look good? What do you think of these shoes? Should I go down to Babo for the millionth time this month and get chocolate and/or ice cream? (No, Roomie, no more Babo.)
6. You’re both equally bad influences on each other.
Late night Insomnia deliveries and ice cream runs? Random hookups and drunken nights with people we won’t remember (no matter how hard we try to)? We’ve only been in school for a little over one month and our lives are already sh*t shows.
7. You can crawl into their bed and rant about your “terrible” life on the reg.
This is probably one of the best things about having a roommate you get along with. Their bed is your bed and vice versa, and the nights you spend with each other complaining about how f*cked up your lives are are the ones to die for.
8. They understand the importance of a great Insta or new prof pic.
Personal photographer? Check. Understanding that it takes more than just one pose or picture to get the perfect shot? Double check. Not everyone has the patience to do this, so when your soul mate/roomie is willing to, you know you’ve been #blessed.
9. You’re each other’s cheerleaders.
Aced that test? You’re damn right I’m going to be more ecstatic about it than you are. Have a guy coming over? Ayy, de-stress and have fun (but be safe). The amount of love you both have for each other is unreal across all aspects and situations in life. That is how you know you’ve won the roommate lottery.
Shout out to all the perfect roomies out there. We don't know how we'd survive without you!
