10 Signs Your Roommate Is Actually Your Soulmate


If you and your roommate are close, the thought of ever living on your own or with someone else is depressing. Even the summer is too long a time to go without your best friend snoring five feet away from you.

10 Signs Your Roommate Is Actually Your Soulmate

If you're lucky, college is one long sleepover with your best friend. One long sleepover interrupted by freaking out over exams, eating bad sushi, and laying on the floor trying to convince yourselves to go to the gym.

1. You quote the first half of a Vine and she yells back the second half.

From the bathroom: "Road work ahead?"

From the kitchen, muffled by the dishwasher: "Uh, yeah, I sure hope it does."

2. You share everything from sweatshirts to hair spray to your favorite song.

It's pretty convenient to get ready when the curling iron is already hot, "Forever" by Chris Brown is already queued, and you have double the tops to choose from.

3. You hype each other up before leaving for the day.

Love the fit. Your lashes look so long. How did you get your butt to look like that? How do I get my butt to look like that?

4. You don't go to the bathroom at a party unless it's together.

The most important part of going to the bathroom is taking pictures in the mirror for ten minutes, which you can't do without your roommate. And you can't possibly re-style your hair well enough without another set of hands.

5. You make your Spotify playlists public because you know she'd like them.

Bag playlist, getting ready playlist, chill playlist. You've endured every mood together, and you know all the right songs to get through each one. You can cry together to "All I Want" by Kodaline until you're ready to bump to Offset's "Ric Flair Drip."

6. You goof off together no matter where you are.

The dining hall? The library? The crowded sidewalks of your campus? Anywhere is a perfect spot to laugh so hard you forget other people are around. Except the library, because then you have to try to laugh quieter and that makes it so much harder to stop.

7. You go to Target together for eggs and walk out with a full cart.

You didn't need blowing bubbles, tater tots, or any more Command Strips. But you have them now.

8. You complain about having no money as you walk to Starbucks for $7 coffees.

There's nothing like an iced coffee to help you forget how expensive textbooks are. And since you and your roommate stay up way too late talking, you definitely need that caffeine boost to get through the day.

9. You finish every sentence with "you know what I mean?"

And 9 times out of 10, she does know exactly what you mean.

10. You can't imagine living with anyone else.

If you and your roommate are close, the thought of ever living on your own or with someone else is depressing. Even the summer is too long a time to go without your best friend snoring five feet away from you. But in just a month you'll be back at it like you never left.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
