During my senior year of college, my three roommates and I needed a fourth roommate to help lower the monthly payments of rent. So when my guy friend offered to live with three of us girls, we didn’t even hesitate to say yes. After all, how bad could it be?
Well, here we are. Two months before our lease is up. What can I say? It’s been an interesting few months.
1. They eat all of your food — and have no sympathy for you when you come home from work craving that left over pizza they just inhaled.
2. Hair. All over the sink. Need I say more?
3. They forget about this wonderful thing called hygiene. And when they finally do shower, everyone notices.
4. They don’t believe in cleaning...
5. ... except for when their parents are in town and are stopping by to drop off food.
6. They’re not very good at comforting you when you’re sad. And living with three other girls, this was needed quite often.
7. You turn into their mother. Honey, did you eat today? It's 2:15 a.m., why aren't you sleeping? You have class in the morning.
8. The trash can turns into the leaning tower of pizza boxes, because let's face it, it's the only food group boys know.
9. Oh, the farting. You will spend an inordinate amount on candles. You didn't actually think they were just for ambiance, did you?
10. Tampons and periods will always be treated as a terrifying and gross disease that should be kept secret.
But at the end of the day, it's the single most greatest decision I've ever made.
