9 Things You Know If You Have Male Roommates

When you live with boys, you learn.

9 Things You Know If You Have Male Roommates

Any girl who lives with a man know some things to be true, like toilet seats always being left up, and the tooth paste always being left open. But what about when you live with four boys? Here's an inside scoop of the 9 things that drive me mad living with four boys.

1) Toilet paper rolls

It takes like 10 seconds to put the roll on the holder, but I'm 90% sure I'm the only one who does that. Because every time I sit down and see that there's a new roll, it isn't on the holder

2) Girls

Some mornings, I'll walk downstairs and there'll be a new girl sitting in the living room. Or, I'll come home late, and see some white converse that could only be a different girls, because I don't own a pair like that.

3) Dishes

The dishes are never done. Ever. And not only do they not get done, they just pile up. Pile up to the point that one of our roommates put all the dirty dishes in a garbage bag instead of actually doing them so he could use the sink.

4) Random projects

They get so invested in building cat condos out of cardboard boxes and duct tape, or hanging Christmas lights in the bathroom because real lights aren't good enough. Half the time, I think they're spending their precious time on something stupid that isn't even going to work.

5) Potentially burning down our apartment

One day, I was the first one back to the apartment and got ready to start making myself some dinner. I was standing at the stove when I realized that the burner was left on all day. With nothing on it. Another time, one of the boys put some Dino-nuggets in the oven and passed out on the couch while they were cooking, only to wake up to disappointment and very burnt nugs.

6) Unclean, even after we clean

We could organize the kitchen, wipe down all the counters, pick up the entire living room, mop the floors, vacuum the carpet, take out the trash, and clean the bathroom sink, and I can guarantee I'd still find something gross in the shower, trash in the corner of the kitchen, and food in the sink from somebodies dishes. Even when we clean, it's not clean.

7) Constant video games

Strategies for fighting Zombies, bets on who can get the better score on Guitar Hero, teaching each other how to be better at Skate.

8) I've seen way too much.

I've seen every guy I live with in just his boxers. It happens.

9) Farts.

Guys fart. I live with 4. And 2 cats that also fart. Imagine my life.


But the thing is, living with boys is the best. My house is never boring, there's always something going on. They'll come in our room and all pile on top of each other to lay in the same bed. One night, they were doing cartwheels between our bedrooms. Some nights, we decide to take spontaneous trips to dinner, or all go to the gym together. Sometimes, we stay up until 2 am just laughing and telling stories. Somebody is usually strumming a guitar in the living room, which is relaxing when I'm having a hard day. I always have a group of guys to go out with, and never have to worry about where I'll go to pre-game. They're always down for spontaneous, late night adventures.

College is filled with many things, and we're so often lectured to make the right decisions as we head out on our own into the college life. But sometimes it's necessary to indulge in some guilty pleasures as well as just doing things because you can. And honestly, a lot of the time it's inevitable. College is no piece of cake that's for sure, so it's okay to do some things you deep down know you shouldn't....once in a while anyways.

A Deep Dive Into Taylor Swift’s Albums: 1989 (Taylor’s Version) Edition

I just know that the idea of releasing vault tracks came out of the moment Taylor remembered she wrote 'Is It Over Now?'

A Deep Dive Into Taylor Swift’s Albums: 1989 (Taylor’s Version) Edition
Edited by Hailey Hastings

I am fully emersed into diving deep into every single Taylor Swift album, which I do on my own all the time, but wanted to do it in a way where I am sharing what a special discography she has. I feel like 1989 is the perfect place to start, it's an era that changed everything, and will always be an album people automatically think of when you say "Taylor Swift."
