10 Reasons Why Living With Your Best Friend Is The Greatest
Emily Pfeiffer

After my first roommate left, I decided to move in with a friend from my volleyball team. And, let's just say, it did not go too smoothly at first. But, then something happened. My sophomore year, we became closer and closer and now I get the pleasure of saying I live with my best friend! And man, is it the best! Although I could list more than 10, here are 10 of the best reasons why having your roommate as your best friend is the greatest.

1. You always have someone to talk to.

They will listen to your rants, comfort you when you're crying your eyes out at midnight, and listen to the monotonous things that you had to do that day. They'll even sit through the weird dreams that you just have to tell someone about.

2. You are comfortable enough to say anything to them.

It may be something that they don't want to hear, but they trust your judgement enough to listen. And you have lots of time to talk about it, considering you live together.

3. You know they'll always be truthful with you.

"Does this outfit look bad?" "Do you like the boy I'm talking to?" "I haven't pooped in a day. Do you think that's normal?" Any question. They'll give you an honest answer.

4. They have seen the craziest, weirdest part of you, and still love you.

I'm talking the midnight, sleep-deprived you. And it can't get weirder than that. But you know they'll join you in your crazy shenanigans, no judgement.


5. They basically know everything that's going on in your life.

Good or bad, you have had so many deep talks that they know your past, and they definitely know what's going on presently in your life. Another great thing is that they can sense when something is wrong from 5 miles away.

6. You always have someone to go places with.

And you wouldn't wanna go with anyone else. You know that if you ask, they'll go anywhere with you. Whether it be on a sonic run or to go get something random from Walmart. They'll even go with you to help scrape the snow and ice off your car. Now that's loyalty.

7. They are always up for spontaneous adventures.

"Let's go to the park!" "Hey, I wanna go try out my hammock. You wanna come?" Or even "Hey I feel like going home. You should come with me!" Hey! Adventures with them are the best!

8. Jam sessions in your room are a regular occurrence.

And I mean super regular. Do I really need to elaborate on that? Didn't think so.

9. You know they'll always have your back.

Whether you fail a test, have a bad practice,break up with your boyfriend/girlfriend,or have a death in the family, they're right by your side helping you through it. And you couldn't imagine going through it without them.


10. You wouldn't trade them for the world, and wish you could be roommates forever.

Even the times when they run you nuts, you know you can always count on them. And even when you're off living adult lives, you know they will always be there for you. Because they're your best friend.


So, roommate, all I have to say is thank you. I love you.

Power of Love Letters

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.
