10 Signs You're Actually A Terrible Roommate
taringa.net

Whether you're random roommates sharing a dorm room or friends sharing an apartment, living with someone is hard. Most of us will experience living with a terrible roommate at some point in our lives, and the rest are the terrible roommate. Here are a few signs that you’re actually an awful roommate.

1. You eat all my snacks.

Food is one of the most important things to me. If my chips and fruit snacks are constantly disappearing then you'll need to refill my supply.

2. You use my stuff without asking.

I don't mind sharing every once in a while. But using my stuff without asking permission isn't sharing. It's stealing. Good roommates don't steal stuff.

3. You never do the dishes.

There is no reason for there to be a mile high pile of dishes in the sink. That's how we get ants, and I shouldn't be responsible for cleaning up your messes.

4. Your side of the room smells like a garbage disposal.

There is a pile of laundry in the corner that has never seen the laundry room and there is old rotting food on your desk. Please tell me why you think this is okay.

5. I can't remember the last time you showered.

I'm going to be really honest here. I obsess over good personal hygiene. I don't understand why someone would want to walk around and not smell good. I also don't understand why anyone would want to avoid a shower. It's the most relaxing part of my day.

6. You invite friends over when I'm trying to sleep.

I'm all for socializing and I'm perfectly fine with you inviting your friends over. But please don't do it while I'm trying to get my beauty sleep.

7. You're a hoarder.

Nobody needs 63 unopened 2 litter bottles of Mountain Dew.

8. You hit snooze for an hour every day.

I can understand the struggle of getting out of bed in the morning. But when you're sharing a room with another person it would be nice if you were a little more considerate.

9. You eat loud snacks while I'm trying to sleep.

Just please don't.

10. You try to have a party during finals week.

Finals week is a time for studying and mental break downs, not parties. The last acceptable night to party is Dead Day Eve, anything after that is GPA suicide. I don't need my grades to suffer because of it.

The dynamics of any friend group are usually determined by the personalities which make it up. Chances are, while personalities may overlap, each person in your friend group holds his or her own place. It is the differences which bring the groups together and keep them functioning.

1. The wait for Buffalo Wild Wings is always going to be long on Thursday nights.

As hard as we try, it's nearly impossible to resist the 69-cent wings on a college student budget. Plus, they are always delicious!
