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.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
