Whether it's through a random roommate selection or you and your best friend decided to get an apartment together, having the perfect roommate makes time spent out of class at college so much better. Having that person by your side is what transforms your free time into the best moments of your college experience.
1. You always have someone to make plans with.
My roommate and I seek out weekday deals at different restaurants near our school and have our own mall routine.
2. There’s always someone to give their opinion on your outfit.
Seriously, a good roommate won’t let you leave the house unless your outfit is on point. They’ll be the first to tell you, “The first shirt was definitely better than this one” or “You can totally pull off a brighter lipstick!” And, if they’ve got good taste, you’ve got a whole other closet to choose from.
3. They’ll be the first to celebrate with you when you have good news.
When you get an A on that test you studied for all night, or when your first date goes better than planned, they’ll be there. When you get accepted into an honor society, or get a bid for the sorority you wanted, they will be the person to celebrate with. They will be happy because you’re happy.
4. You’ll also have someone to cry with during finals week.
You’ve got a study buddy to conquer all-nighters with. Having someone who lives with you, knows your schedule and knows when you’re getting lazy is a huge help when it comes to studying and keeping yourself accountable. Plus, you’ll be able to do the same for them, and you’ll both walk out with As.
