When getting ready for college, I felt like I couldn't escape the horror stories of mean, slutty, or downright psycho roommates. Needless to say I was nervous what crazy roommate story I would have to survive, and felt the pang of jealousy for my friends who paid extra for a single room. Now two years later, I could never imagine what my college experience would be like without my roommates, and dread the day that I will have to go to sleep in a room by myself. Having a roommate (or, in my case right now, roommates) has been the greatest blessing, and I would not trade this experience for anything in the world. Here is a list of the reasons I have loved living with roommates.

1. You're never bored

It doesn't matter it is 2 P.M. or 2 A.M., if you are bored and want to play a game or just talk about nothing, you always have someone there to amuse you.

2. There is always someone there to share a midnight snack

Because eating cookie dough alone at one in the morning in sad, but eating cookie dough with friends at one in the morning is spontaneous.

3. There is always someone to vent to

Whether it was a long day, a mean professor or a stupid boy, it is always nice to have a listening ear, no matter the time of day.

4. There is also always someone to celebrate with

Did you get that promotion? Did that cute boy finally kiss you? Did you get an amazing new pair of shoes? This is cause for celebration.

5. You don't have to take down that mammoth of a spider alone

There are some things no one should ever have to do on their own, and living with a roommate means you always have someone to scream with until the problem is solved.

6. You always have someone to help clean up the tornado of clothes

Everything is better when your roommate is there to split the work, so put on some loud music and turn it into a big cleaning party.

7. No matter what happens, you know you always have someone on your side

College would never be the same without my crazy, hilarious, loving roommates and I wouldn't trade them for the world.
