11 Truths You're All Too Familiar With If Your Roommates Are Your Best Friends

I'm extremely lucky to be able to say that I'm best friends with my roommates. Not everyone can relate and I've heard so many horror stories of people clashing with their roommates and just not getting along.

However, my roommates and I became best friends almost instantly and needless to say, the dynamic is a little bit different than a normal living situation.

Getting ready is always a party (or low-key chaos)

Getting ready for parties, events and going out usually involves two or three people sharing the bathroom, everyone is changing outfits at least twice and by the end, no one is wearing anything from their closet. But we listen to the Jonas Brothers while we do it, which makes it fun.

Late night food runs are always supported

If someone wants to get fast food at 2 a.m., there's pretty much always someone that's also down, and you can just go wake them up if you want them to go with you. It's a blessing and a curse (for my wallet).

Endless amounts of food

Everyone shares snacks. We have two fridges and a huge basket of snacks in our living room. Plus, we all know where each other keep our food, and we don't hate each other so if we ask if we can eat something, the answer is rarely ever no.

Endless amounts of memes.

Giphy

This sounds weird. However, I also share a wall with one of our other best friends, and when I'm laying in bed at night she airdrops memes to me. It's a cute method of communication (and comedy).

You always have a study buddy

If you need someone to listen to your speech, you've got it. If you want someone to look over a paper for you, that's at your disposal. Mutually beneficial relationships are always a good idea.

Your closet is never-ending

Sharing clothes is not a problem whatsoever. It's boring to wear the same thing twice, and there's no sense in buying a bunch of clothes if you're going to an event once. Just borrow someone else's.

Your decorations become a melting pot of everyone's styles

We have polaroids and pictures of each other up EVERYWHERE. Our dorm doesn't really have a theme, it's just kind of things that everyone brought and liked so sometimes you have a world map next to a fake pet goldfish on a shelf. Everyone's happy, so I don't really see a problem.

When you do spend time apart it feels like the end of the world

Unsplash

I went home for a weekend and got a text from one of my roommates six hours later saying she missed me. If I'm being honest, I missed her too. After spending all of your time together it's weird to be in different states, and I kind of hate it.

There is literally no judgement

Eventually, you're going to see each other naked. Once that happens, there's really nothing that can phase you anymore. Sometimes people run around without pants. We pee with the door open now. Safe spaces are good.

Your inside jokes are on point

Unsplash

Our squad name is an inside joke. We make fun of each other using inside jokes. At this point, I forget what our inside jokes are and what is actually just regular language. Regardless, that's a connection that always feels more genuine.

You always have a shoulder to cry on

It feels amazing to know that I can just go into the next room if I need a hug or someone to just vent to. Likewise, I love knowing that my roommates can always come to me if they need literally anything. Having a support system like that will change your life, and I'm so lucky to have found my best friends and have them be right at my fingertips.

6 Things Owning A Cat Has Taught Me
Liz Abere

Owning a pet can get difficult and expensive. Sometimes, their vet bills cost hundreds of dollars just for one visit. On top of that, pets also need food, a wee wee pad for a dog, a litter box with litter for a cat, toys, and treats. Besides having to spend hundreds of dollars on them, they provide a great companion and are almost always there when you need to talk to someone. For the past six years, I have been the proud owner of my purebred Bengal cat named Spock. Although he's only seven years and four months old, he's taught me so much. Here's a few of the things that he has taught me.

It's fun to see all of the selfies on social media, they are everywhere. I see pictures with pouty lips, duck lips and pucker lips. I see smokey eyes, huge fake lashes and nicely done nose jobs, boob jobs and butt lifts. Women working out in spandex, tiny tops and flip flops. I see tight abs and firm butts, manicured nails and toes, up dos and flowing hair. "Wow", I think to myself," I could apply tons of make-up, spend an hour on my hair, pose all day and not look like that. Maybe I need a longer stick!"

The names and dates of the reigns of the first four kings, as well as the alternation of Sabin and Latin names, are more legendary than historical. The last three kings, of Etruscan origin, have an existence which seems less uncertain.

It is evident that all this is only a legend although archeology shows us little by little that these kings if they did not exist as the ancient history, describes them, have at least in the very Outlines were real as chief of a shepherd’s tribe.
