College can be tough and stressful, but what makes it bearable is the fact that my roommate is one of my best friends. I couldn't do it without her, so here are 10 ways she makes my life better.
1. We live in a judgement-free zone.
She knows all the things that I've done and is still there to give me advice and help me get through it without any judgement at all. We can laugh about the dumb mistakes that we have made together, without any fear of embarrassment. We can also be complete goofs together.
2. The weekly late night cuddle/vent sesh.
My roommate and I will just lay on each other's beds and talk about what annoyed us about that week, or if we got a bad grade on something. Our talks always make me feel better in the end. I go to her with everything.
3. She randomly surprises me with ice cream.
I'll come back to the dorm and she'll be like, "Oh yeah, your favorite ice cream is in the fridge!" She treats me better than any boyfriend I've ever had.
4. We're each other's personal tutors.
If either of us are having a hard time with a class, we're always there to help each other out. Study buddies for life.
5. You always have someone to eat with.
"Wanna go get food?" is always the question in my dorm, and the answer is always, "Yes."
6. Your closet is really both of your closets.
The best part of being so close to my roommate is that we share clothes, and she's got some cute clothes. We never have a problem borrowing each other's stuff. I love getting that, "Oh by the way, I'm wearing your shirt and scarf."
7. There's never a dull moment between us.
We're constantly laughing over something that happened days, weeks, or even months ago.
8. She is there to knock some sense into you when you need it.
My roommate isn't afraid to tell me when I'm not seeing something clearly, she keeps my head straight. which is awesome, because I definitely need it sometimes.
9. She's also my personal hair stylist.
She isn't getting paid, but she does it anyway and that is what love is to me.
10. I miss her like crazy when shes gone.
Although I love some time to myself, there is nothing better than hanging out with my roommate. It's a non-stop party, and I'm so blessed to live with her.
Living with my roommate has opened my eyes to so many things. She's so kind to everyone she meets that she encourages me to be my best self everyday. We bring out the best in each other. She has my back, and I'll always have hers. Without her, I really wouldn't know what to do with myself.
