“Honey, I’m home,” she yells as she walks in the door. I do not think there is anything else to better describe the memories we are creating right now. I was told over and over again that living with my best friend would crash and burn or I would be regretting the decision to live within five feet of her.
Ultimately, they were wrong. Living with my best friend is actually the best decision I have ever made. I thought I had struggled in the past, but the first few months of college has kicked me in the butt, but she was there to listen to me rant and cry about the same situations. She was there when I was going through the hardest time of my life. She was there when I talked about the same person for months even though she thought I was crazy. Choosing to room with her it the best decision I ever made, at least for my sanity. Hope I do not drive you too crazy roomie. Here are a few awesome things that happened because I chose to live with my best friend.
Pants are not required.
World’s best words right here. No description required.
Late-night jam sessions happen nightly.
We actually call our late nights “Garage Band Sessions,” and this is ultimately the best way to relieve stress. Listening to Taylor Swift or Justin Bieber dancing or jumping from bed to bed because we don’t want to do homework will be something I will continue doing for the rest of my life. Pray for my future husband, please.
The bathroom door is always open and stays open.
Even though I am only five feet away from her 24/7, sometimes she doesn’t even get a bathroom break. Most of the time we are too busy telling stories or running around like crazy people so the door has to be open or you just might miss a life event happening, for example, getting that one text you have been waiting for.
Matching everything.
This came in handy when buying all the “necessity” dorm stuff we needed. Rooming with my bestie made planning dorm accessories so much easier and so much cuter. At least you understand my rationality of why we must buy the most expensive bedding instead of the $50 set. We had the cutest dorm on campus, no doubt (at least until our room flooded).
I get to wear her clothes.
I promise I ill not stretch out your heels or stain your dress. By living with my best friend, the term ”shared closet” in the dorm has no meaning. So many perks to having a stylish best friend who loves clothes and shoes more than life.
She doesn't judge me when I eat ice cream.
Not only did she not judge me eating ice cream at 2 a.m., but she also ordered pizza for herself. Since day one, El Jalisco’s food has brought us together and even though we don’t have a good place like that where we live now, at least I do not have to sit by myself in the dinning hall.
I always have someone to listen to me rant.
Thank you for listening to me talk about the same problems for the past year. Even though you thought I was crazy you listened to my rants, my cries and more importantly you Facebook stalked the guys I said were going to be “my future Husband” for your approval. By rooming with you, I always have my best friend 5 feet away. I guess there are no secrets anymore.
