If you attend/have attended a college or university, it is likely that you have had a roommate at some point. Having a roommate during this crazy, exciting, formative time in life can be one of the best parts of it all.

In my case, I was blessed with the best roommate the last three years. She has been someone that I have laughed, cried and argued with, and we have grown a lot together through college.

One of our favorite shows is "Friends"—so here's having a roommate as told by "Friends."

1. When you first meet your roommate.

Meeting the person you're going to live with is the most exciting and terrifying thing all at the same time. Just try not to be creepy.

2. Finding out that they love something that you love.

My roommate and I basically have the same lives, so this happened a lot in our room.

3. Everything becomes funnier after midnight.

Especially when you are pulling an all-nighter and are distracted by every. Little. Thing.

4. When they leave the light on...and then make you get up to turn it off.

This one might be a little specific to us.

5. Study breaks = dance parties.

6. Whey they enable your late-night food runs.

Cookout? Sure. Taco Bell? Absolutely. Sonic? Heck yes.

7. They love you when you're a hot mess.

Some days you just want to lay in bed all day and cry because college is hard. These are the days that I'm especially thankful that I had my roommate.

8. If they are gone for the weekend.

9. When they have coupons for free food.

Thank you for sparing me from tonight's cafeteria food.

9. Sometimes they drive you crazy.

In the best way possible, of course.

10. And you probably "fight" over dumb things, like who will use the bathroom first.

11. But if you’re lucky (like me), they become one of your very best friends.

To my roommate: Thank you for putting up with me the last three years. I love you!
