Living in a house with 16 other people can get old pretty quick. The house guests all have moments where they are fed up with each other. Sometimes they just go through moments that leave them purely exasperated. Living with a roomate in college is a lot like living in the "BB" house. You are constantly with them and you begin to feel like they are family. Here are nine ways the "BB" house guests were relatable to someone living with a roomate.

Living in the "Big Brother" house, there is always alliances and new drama happening at all times of the day.

This makes it hard going to sleep knowing you will miss something crazy happening, sort of like not wanting to go to sleep because you roomie will be home in half an hour and you need to spill the daily juicy gossip before bed.

Like Bronte knows, "Big Brother" requires you to do some serious thinking.

Counting votes and how many people you need to stay safe makes basic adding and subtraction a necessity in the house. Since fourth graders can do basic math, it also shouldn't be too hard to add and subtract some numbers to figure out how much each person has to pay the rent, but that's never stopped the confusion.

We all have a time where it's 2 a.m. and there is only one cookie left.

You know you shouldn't eat it because your roomate mentioned wanting it, but sometimes you can't help yourself. When your roomate asks who ate the last cookie, you will not be able to help but feel like Nicole when being asked who is the first H.O.H. of the season.

Face it, there is always the messy roomate and if you think there isn't one, then chances are, it's you.

Don't worry, I'm the messy roomate. So whenever you get to the point of feeling bad for making your roomie clean up after you, take the matter into your own hands. Just be careful mixing the chemicals

Sharing the same interests.

Every time your roommate does something by your influence, such as become obsessed with your favorite TV show, you can't help but feel like a proud mother watching their daughter grow.

Binge watching "Grey's Anatomy" is a must for all rookies.

Yes, I'm talking to all those frat houses too! You will become closer by watching any TV show together, despite getting into arguments over who gets dibs on Mcdreamy.


Roommates are with you all day every day and because of this, you get to see the side of your roommate that nobody else does.

This gives you the perfect opportunity to get payback next time they pull out that pic of you with chocolate icing on your face.

When getting ready for your date with the cutie from your geography class, picking out a good outfit is important.

You can always trust your roomate to tell you the truth, even if it makes you have to go shopping for a whole new outfit.


Nothing is better than watching some TLC, taking a shower then going to bed.

Unfortunately, having a roommate means sharing the shower. As soon "As Say Yes to the Dress" is over, it's a race to see who will make it to the shower first.

All the House Guests on "Big Brother" say that it was the best experience of their lives. Living with a roommate is also like this. As much as you get stressed out having to share your space, it's always worth it in the end, because it ends up being one of the best experiences ever.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
