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.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
