Some of you may be scarred by your past roommate experiences. Or maybe you had a roommate that wasn't exactly a nightmare, but they wouldn't have been your first choice either. If you're somewhat indifferent towards your roommate and you're having difficulty deciding whether you should room together again, you're in luck! I happen to live with the best roomie ever, so I know a thing or two about qualities of the ideal roommate. Here are 10 things that will tell you if your roommate is a keeper:
1. They bring you food from your room whenever you need it.
My roommate always comes in clutch by bringing me food when I'm out and don't feel like paying for any sustenance.
2. They don't mind sleeping with the lights on while you finish your homework in the room at 1 a.m.
It's a great sacrifice.
3. They own a Keurig.
You should probably offer to buy some of the K-Cups.
4. They own a printer.
Because school printers are unreliable and annoying.
5. They are either just as messy or just as clean as you are.
As long as it's on both sides of the room, it's fine.
6. They like the same type of music that you do.
What's life without roomie dance parties?
7. They don't put you in awkward situations by having friends in your room that you don't know.
It's important that your roommate respects you and knows what and who makes you uncomfortable.
8. They share everything with you.
What's your roommate's is yours and vice versa.
9. They will wake you up if they need to.
No one appreciates a roommate who lets them sleep through all of their classes.
10. They are your BFF.
It's honestly so awesome to be best friends with your roommate.
