Why Being Roommates In College Is Actually Like Being Married

I came to the realization the other day, that I am currently more committed to my college roommates then I have ever been to any boy. So committed in fact that I have been living with them for three years, and I have come to the conclusion that we are basically married. How did I come to this conclusion you may ask? Well the more I thought about it, the more reasons I found for why we resemble a married couple (even though there are three of us). And I honestly couldn't help but laugh at how obnoxious and awesome our roommate relationship is.

So give it a read! Are you married to your roommates too? Or is it just us?

Reason #1: We are obsessed with each other. (see all social media outlets for confirmation).

Reason #2: We can't go a single day without talking to each other, and often we are talking through more than one mean of communication. Varying from the 15 separate group chats we have to the endless interactions we are constantly a part of on social media.

Reason #3: We know each other's habits, the good and the bad. (including but not limited to setting 405893018 alarms, burping like a man, and leaving dishes in the sink five days too long).

Reason #4: We know each other's pet peeves. We also know to not commit any of these so-called "peeves" unless we want to face a potentially deadly wrath.

Reason #5: We have each other's orders (starbs, pizza, alcohol, etc.) memorized just like a good husband should.

Reason #6: We are really great at emotionally supporting each other through the hard times like finals week and hangovers.

Reason #7: We work as a team. My project becomes their project and vice versa. (I can't even tell you how many times we have made posters until midnight or how many balloons we have blown up for one another's events).

Reason #8: We are each other's biggest fans. Common phrases in our house include: "If I was a guy I would totally sleep with you," "You are a 10/10, I would recommend you," and "Wow! You are so nice to me"

Reason #9: We can read each other like a book.

Reason #10: We share everything. Everything: /evrēˌTHiNG/ (noun)- clothes, toothpaste, food, gum, chargers, secrets, alcohol, catchphrases, etc.

Reason #11: Personal space is honestly just not a thing.


Reason #12: In case you didn't already get this, we know way too much information about each other. (and we're taking all of it to the grave).

Reason #13: We already have a plan to live in a nursing home together when we're old.

Reason #14: And in the same culdesac when we are less old, but still old enough to actually own houses.

Reason #15: We say "goodnight, I love you" every night and wake each other up with coffee and emotionally supportive memes (most mornings).

Reason #16: We complete each other. Ex: I hate driving. My roommate drives so that I don't have an anxiety attack.

Reason #17: We are each other's best friends, and I wouldn't trade them for the whole wide world.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
