Being young has its perks—youthful skin, little responsibility, and an excuse to have lots of fun. However, one of the unfortunate things about being young is having roommates. A lot of roommates. Sometimes, even gross, nasty, stealing, psychotic roommates. But, it’s all part of the fun.

If you’ve ever had to share a space with another human being, you probably have at least one horror story (or a thousand). One of the most common problems that occur between roommates is stealing borrowing the other roommate’s stuff. In an effort to stop conflict, you’ve probably developed a habit of hiding certain things from your roommates. Hey, if they don’t know it’s there, they’re never going to “accidentally” use it.

Here are the top items your roommate is keeping from you—and what you’re keeping from them:

1. Party favors

It’s 1:30 a.m. and you’re strolling back from the bar with your S.O. for some much needed post-bar shenanigans. You set the mood and reach in your hiding spot only to find...NOTHING. You didn’t even know your sweet little goodie two shoes roomie Karen did this type of thing… like what? Next time, you’ll use a safe, like iKeyp, so Karen knows to keep her filthy paws off your stash.

2. Your really expensive gold hoop earrings

I mean, after all, hoop earrings are your thing. And your parents didn’t just drop some serious cash around Hanukkah so Gretchen could wear them. So not fetch.

3. Any IDs

Even though your roomie has been begging you to dupe your I.D. so she can sneak in to Tequila Tuesday, you just can’t risk it. And hey, if she’s willing to try and sneak into a bar, what’s to say she won’t sneak into your room and make a grab for your ticket to 21 fun?

4. The brownies your BFF from Colorado shipped you via priority mail

You love your best friend Cady because she always hooks you up with the goods. And by goods, you mean those really delicious dark chocolate fudge brownies that always, always make your day when they arrive. Unfortunately, your roomie has also gotten a whiff of these. They must be protected at all costs.

5. Makeup

Listen, you didn’t drop $65 on Huda Beauty’s Rose Gold Palette for anyone else but you to swipe their germy little fingers all of your eyeshadow. As much as your roommate bats her eyelashes and smiles, you’re not going to give in… even if it is for the Spring Fling.

6. The car keys

No Karen, you cannot just run to Taco Bell with my car because you were craving a crunchwrap supreme. God Karen you are so stupid. And so scummy for stealing my car keys.

7. Xanax

Despite your best efforts to channel all your negativity into contact sports, your psychiatrist still insists you take something for your nerves. I mean, it’s prescribed. It’s not something to use recreationally—a concept your roommate just can’t respect.

8. The Burn Book

After junior year when the entire school found out about what you really think of everyone, you’ve really learned your lesson and now only keep your Burn Book in a locked, secure place where only you can access it. Take that you grotsky little beotches.

Having roommates may be fun or it may be awful. But whether your best friends or frienemies, you always run the risk of having your stuff taken/stolen/borrowed/used by your roommates. Put your roommates in place like the Queen B you are and stow them safely using iKeyp, a smart safe that’ll keep all your weapons of mass popularity securely.

Need a safe? Get an iKeyP. Don’t know what iKeyP is? Go HERE. iKeyP is essentially a personal safe that can travel with you, locks into place when you’re not traveling, and can be controlled and monitored from your phone. Perfect for college life, but also life in general.
