Unless you've been living under a rock, you have probably seen the show How I Met Your Mother. The characters all have different personalities they bring to the show that make them how they are; obviously. Well, the three best friends, Marshall, Ted, and Lily, were living together in one happy apartment. Of course they have their spats and fights that add "drama" to the show, but what would it actually be like to live in that situation? Would it be as cheerful and awesome? Would it always be as clean as it looked?
My fiance and I have been dating for over a year now and we recently moved into an apartment together and with his best friend. I had absolutely no qualms with it because we're college kids and three people splitting rent is a beautiful idea, especially when money is an issue. So we all moved in together at the beginning of August and have been happily living together since. Now, we have never had any fights with one another, which is good since we're roommates. But sometimes you might feel like the one on the outside of things. Besides the fiance of course. He's always on the inside of what's going on in the apartment life.
Being the Lily in life is difficult. While Ted and Marshall are always having fun, sometimes I'm left to take care of the adult stuff. Buying groceries for instance. Groceries really don't get bought often because of the lack of money we all have. Now, I'm no saint at saving money like I should, but I also have extra things I have to buy, being a girl and everything on top of being diabetic. I can't feed myself and two other grown adults; I don't have that type of money.
Do not get me wrong; I absolutely love the two of them. And by love I mean that as a quite loose term dealing with the roommate of course. I would not change it for the world; I love being Lily. But sometimes I just wish that they would be adults more or less. It's just extremely hard sometimes to get everyone involved in something. The guys have their Grand Theft Auto and I have my cats.
Just know that if you are going to move into an apartment with two of the opposite gender, that you will sometimes feel left out. Sometimes you'll want to kill the two of them. But at the same time you would not change them out for any other people in the entire world. They are butt heads and I feel like killing them at least five different times a day, but when I go to bed and wake up in the morning, I guess I wouldn't change my life for the world.
