The relationship between two college roommates is one of trust and friendship, of care and kindness, of respect and honesty. However, this type of bond can hardly be described with words; I have found that the use of  Spongebob Squarepants GIFs (and because my roommate is slightly obsessed with the yellow guy) is the best approach. So, here's to you Rach! 

1. When you determine to go out together for the night.

2. And you both know you're killin' it.

3. Nothing can kill the mood, even if it's burning yourself with your curling iron.

4. She'll always be your go-to dance partner.

5. And will let you drag her to a frat party even when she's really not feeling it.

6. But when she is feeling it...

7. When that guy finally approaches you at the party.

8. But you're never really alone with him.

9. She somehow understands your late night phone calls.

10. And she'll get out of bed sober to walk you home after one too many.

11. Or she's right there with you.

12. But that usually turns into a food stop before making it home.

13. Either way, you always take care of each other.

14. Just make sure to tell her when you're expecting visitors.

15. Because modesty isn't a thing when you're roommates.

16. And you'd prefer not to greet her parents like this after a night out.

17. She encourages you to go to the gym. 

18. Maybe so that you can actually fit into her clothes.

19. But she gives you compliments regardless. 

20. You don't question each other's actions.

21. Because most of the time, you act ridiculous together.

22. Other friends must go through an initiation to reach the level of friendship you share.

23. You cry together. 

24. And help each other out of hard times.

25. You can even read each other's minds.

26. You go on Spring Break together.

27. But will never take another class together.

28. And if there is one thing I have learned from having a roommate, there is no such thing as being too close. 

Well, maybe.
