17 Signs You And Your College Roommates May Be A Little TOO Close
Samantha Frost

As I sit in my kitchen on an average morning, the realization struck me.

My roommates and I are simply too close.

"How can you tell?" one might ask, and they reflect on their own relationships with their roommates. "We seem to have healthy boundaries."

Well let me tell ya, it creeps up on you. You won't even notice at first. So here are some signs, and hopefully, you can save yourself if it's not too late.

1. People ask, "Where is [insert roommate's name here]?" when you show up without them.

I have my own life, people! But also she is at work and says hi.

2. You finish each other's sentences.

This is frankly terrifying but also kind of nice for when you need to speak in code.

3. You can have conversations without actually saying anything.

People frequently mistake you as an old married couple.

4. You are blunt.

"Bruh. Shut up."

5. Honest opinions are given freely.

"Dude. You stink. Go shower."

6. You have seen each other naked more times than not.

"Man, we could shower together and conserve so much water."

7. You watch TV shows together until the crack of dawn.

Sometimes you just gotta huddle on the couch with some red vines and your crew.

8. You can sit in silence and it's not weird.

There is nothing better than not having to make small talk.

9. Pranks.

Living with someone means getting what makes them tick, and what makes them piss themselves with fear.

10. You shameless seduce each other.

However, this never works.

11. You discuss your weird dreams over breakfast.

If you're going to dream it, someone has to know.

12. They know every minuscule detail of your life.

They are right there so you might as well tell them everything.

13. You go to them before a doctor.

Is this rash concerning?

14. You crawl into bed with them.

Sometimes you just watched a scary movie and other times you just feel like it.

15. "Is my hair greasy?"

If you have to ask you probably already know the answer but just to be on the safe side.

16. Privacy really isn't a thing.

Doors are not shut.

17. You have a million inside jokes.

It's turning into its own language.

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.
