For some of us, coming to college was the first time we ever had to share a room. It was a big change, but a fun one. As you meet more and more people over the course of your college career, it seems to be a pattern that you will at some point have that one friend that doesn't live with you, but acts like they do. We call those people, "Honorary Roommates" and here are 11 signs you have one in your life.


You come home and they're already in your room.

Your door wasn't open. You've been gone all day. Nice to see you too, I guess.

They help themselves to all your food.

That leftover pizza you thought was in you fridge has somehow magically disappeared.

Your clothes are their clothes.

"I'm borrowing this."

They've requested their own space in your closet.

Of course, because college has ample space for everyone.

People are shocked when they find out you're not roommates.

Wait, does she even live in this building?

They've added their name to your door.

Squad goals, am I right?

Sometimes they sleep in your bed even though they have their own.

Note to self: twin dorm beds are not ideal for sleepovers.

They never knock.

Yeah, go ahead, come on in.

They leave their miscellaneous items all over your room while you and your actual roommate wonder who's stuff it is...

Some of the Schmidt's jar.

"Is this yours?" "No..."

Sometimes they follow you into the bathroom while you shower so they can talk to you.

The more the merrier, right?

No matter how much they're in your space, you wouldn't have it any other way.

To my honorary roommate, I wouldn't trade you for the world. You're always welcome to eat my food, wear my clothes, and even talk to me while I shower.

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
