Like any other close roommates, you have the questions you are frequently asking one another. These ones, however, may differ from the rest of the listicles you have read. While yes, these are 11 questions me and my roommates frequently ask one another, the topic of them range from health concerns to even questions about ghosts.
1. "Are you high?"
What can we say, sometimes one roommate comes back at the end of the day and just seems a little off. There was even one week where me and our other roommate asked her this question everyday. (spoiler: it was "yes" almost every time)
2. "Am I having a stroke?"
This one came to be after we all kept smelling toast a lot and proceeded to mess up our sentences (like we were such great English speakers to begin with). Really, we are okay in our suite but sometimes you just gotta make sure.
3. "Can you do your dishes?"
Hey, not to call out a roommate but sometimes, the dishes stack up. Happens to even the cleanest, tidiest ones.
4. "When was the last time I showered?"
This one goes out to my other roommate who really loses track of when she showers. We sometimes have to sit around going through the calendar to track her last shower. She's not a gross or dirty person, just gets busy.
5. "What's for dinner in the cafeteria?"
A day does not go by where I do not ask this question to my roommates. Then we proceed to pull up the menu and huddle around it, deciding what each of us plans to order when we get dinner at like 4:30 PM.
6. "Do you want to ouija?"
I am a (sort of) proud owner of a Ouija board and I introduced it to my roommates. They became hooked on it and now it is almost a nightly routine to sit in our hallway and talk to spirits. We had a whole family living in our suite last semester but now we just have one spirit who seems pretty nice.
7. "Was that Ed?"
This one goes with the aforementioned Ouija board. The spirit we communicate this semester is named Ed and he likes to stir things up in our suite. From knocks on walls to creaking of beds, any little occurrence is always blamed on Ed.
8. "What time do you have class tomorrow?"
2 out of 3 of us have our schedules on our doors to let people know where we are, however, we still just never know each others schedules. Maybe we'll get them down by, like, May?
9. "Do we have running water?"
Recently, university housing has been letting us down with the plumbing so whether we have running water or a working toilet is hit or miss.
10. "Would it be bad if I skip class?"
Most of the time we always say "no" but really it's because we just want people to hang out with.
11. "Did you do your Song of the Week?"
In our suite, we have a whole wall in our hallway dedicated to songs. Every week, each person picks a song to make as their Song of the Week. Sometimes we have to remind each other to pick a song for the week.....but sometimes we all get behind on it.
