Why Two Roommates Are Better Than One

Three is definitely not a crowd.

Why Two Roommates Are Better Than One
Loyola Phoenix

I’ve heard enough roommate horror stories to realize how lucky I am to have not only one roommate that I like but two. In fact, I can’t even imagine the beginning of my freshman year without them. We took a big leap of faith when we all went random for our roommate search and took an even bigger leap when we were assigned a converted triple but we landed our feet and hit the ground running. Although we’ve only been living in our confined quarters for a couple of months, we’ve been proving that two is company and three’s a crowd is wrong since the minute we moved in. Three is definitely a party.


1. Dance Parties are 10x More Exciting

No matter what time it is, with two roommates it’s always time for an impromptu dance party. The excitement level is automatically boosted with three people compared to two and even more opportunity for song suggestions that soon become the blaring anthem of your room.


2. Your Room Is a Jungle Gym

There might be less space with more people living in your room, but that creates an indefinite adventure. You’re always looking to find a way to create more space, make the room seem bigger, and sometimes even try to see how far you can travel across the room without touching the ground.

3. There’s Always Someone To Talk To

The room is hardly ever empty meaning usually one of your roommates will be there for you to vent to. There’s an even bigger audience for all your greatest stories and you get to hear about even more drama.


4. You're a Little Squad

Anytime you’re all hanging out outside the room you are the definition of squad goals.

5. There's Better Inside Jokes

You always gang up on each other, in a loving way of course. Inside jokes are more fun the more people involved. Anyone overhearing most of your conversations would think you’re crazy.


Some might think you’re crazy for wanting to share your already tiny space with an extra human, but at the end of the night, you’re crazy thankful for your endless sleepover.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
