No one ever told you how to be the perfect roommate... until now. Here are just some things to remember when you have to share a room with someone else. No one ever said it was going to be easy, but it's totally doable. Just remember that you'll have to wake up to them every morning so it might as well be a face that you're happy to see.

1. Thou shall not wake the other roommate up while trying to get ready for an 8 a.m.

If I get woken up from a deep sleep because I hear you opening and closing your drawers, we might have a problem.

2. Thou shall not leave a mountain of clothes all over the room to the point where we can't see the floor.

Don't get me wrong, I love your wardrobe. But, if they aren't on my body then I don't want to see them all over the floor. They might get wrinkled when I want to wear them, and we don't want that.

3. Thou shall not wake me up from a nap.

4. Thou shall only wake me up if we are getting food.

If you leave to get food without me you better believe the door will be deadbolted, and you will be locked out until I decide to let you in. Love you though!

5. Thou shall listen to me vent about a class/teacher even if you don't care

Part of your responsibilities as a roommate is to let me vent to you. The other part is to tell me I'm right even if I'm not just to make me feel better.

"I can't believe she failed me on this test!" "Well did you study?" "No." "How dare she..."

6. Thou shall cheer me up when I am homesick.

Maybe a nice pep talk or some ice cream will do the trick.

7. Thou shall drag me to the gym even when I don't want to go.

We are supposed to motivate each other to live a healthy lifestyle even if it means going to the gym and eating a celery stick once in a while.

8. Thou shall share your snacks with me.

If you're eating it, the chances that I want it too are very high.

9. Thou shall help me pick out my outfits.

Please just save me the stress and tell me what to wear. I'm just too lazy, and you do it better.

10. Thou shall be my best friend.

The fact that you can stand living with me is just the foundation of a lifelong friend. Love you forever roomie!
