If you are like me, a college undergrad living in an apartment full of girls, you know how hard it can be at times and to get used to the things that become routine around the house. If you have not lived with a group of girls, and plan on doing so here are a few things you should know:
1. Expect to find hair all over everything.
The couch, the floor, the shower... somehow hair manages to make its way everywhere and onto everything. Sorry, but we can't help it.
2. No matter how many people you have to one bathroom, it will always manage to stay messy.
The more girls in one bathroom, the more hair and makeup products you will find spread out across the bathroom sink. You can try to keep it as clean as possible, but a messy bathroom is unavoidable.
3. Candles are a must.
Girls love candles of all different scents. There is no doubt that each roommate will have them. Find your favorites and buy a lot of them.
4. You have endless options for clothes.
This varies depending on how many girls you live with. For me, I have five other closets of clothes that are all my size. Therefore, I never have to wear my own. The more roommates, the better.
5. Someone is always home.
This can be both a positive and a negative. You will always have someone to hangout with, go out with, and get food with. However, there is rarely any time to yourself. And the house feels weird when there is no one there.
6. There will be at least one bottle of wine in the house at all times.
Whether it's for an all girls movie night or boxed wine for when everyone goes out, it will always be there. And when the wine is gone, there is something wrong.
7. The amount of trash seems endless.
This is something no one understands until you experience. The amount of trash a group of girls can go through is ridiculous. I don't know what we eat, what we drink, or what we throw away, but there is always trash that needs to be taken out.
8. Something will always go missing.
These MIA items can range from anything like a
sports bra to a key to a phone or laptop charger. Sometimes things just get lost under everyone's things. Keep track of your things, but it's bound to happen.
9. One fridge is not enough.
If you are living with more than four girls, you are going to need more than one refrigerator, or at least a few extra mini fridges, We eat a lot, and some of us cook more than others. There is nothing worse than not having room for everyone's food.
10. It's not easy.
Living with a group of girls is great, but it definitely takes some work. If you're planning on moving into an apartment with a group of your friends, keep these things in mind. It's definitely worth it.
