Living in a house with other girls can be tricky. Sharing one house with seven is a whole different ball game. And let me tell you, this is a ball game where the rules were probably explained a few times, but no one really paid attention to the rules away.
1. You will never be lonely... like.. ever
Yes, this has its pros and cons.
Trying to find alone time when you live with a thousand roommates can be extremely difficult. Alone time is essential if you enjoy living a sane life. But, constantly having a friend right down the hall or even in your same room is truly something else. You basically have a free therapist 24/7. And we all know we could use one of those.
2. What's mine is yours, and vise versa
Yes, sharing is taught at a young age when your mother yells at you to share your toys with the little kid next to you. But realistically, no one enjoys sharing. We buy certain clothes we like and sometimes letting a friend borrow your favorite jeans can be like pulling teeth, but you do it anyways. Same goes for food. Dude, who ate my f*cking cheese again?! Seriously though, let it go. It's really going to be okay.
3. Personality clashing.
Everyone is different in their own ways. This we know. So with that being said, you can assume that living with many girls in one house can sometimes go south and that assumption is not wrong.
You will definitely have your fair share of being pissed off at one of your roommates here and there. And that is totally normal. We're college students aka no one has any idea what they're doing. But that's also the beauty of it. We're all figuring this life sh*t out with one another, even if that entails stepping one each other's toes every once in a while. (or maybe more than every once in a while, oops)
4. A hot mess
Living on your own means not being told to clean up after yourself and we all know if you don't have to, why would you? (Or maybe that's just me? Idk.) Likewise, the house can become dirty real quick. Dishes are racking up in the sink, you haven't done laundry in two weeks, and there's most likely makeup left out all over your bathroom counter.
I mean hey, this is the only time you can live in filth and somehow get away with it so why not? You're also probably out of toilet paper because who's turn is it to buy some anyways?
But, after a few aggressive texts sent in the group chat, the job gets done! You're doing great sweetie.
5. It's actually the best thing ever
Yes, living with more roommates than even allowed on the lease has it's downside (besides being illegal) but, the positive aspects outweigh them all. You have all your best friends in one spot and honestly, that's more than enough.
Constant laughter, more than one shoulder to cry on (and let's be honest you need more than one because your one friend is already annoyed that your crying again), and several girls to balance out and speak life into you when you need it the most. If living with my best friends for the rest of my life is an option, please sign me up.
