10 Things I'll Miss About My College Roommate

I'm moving out of our apartment, which means I'm leaving you behind.

10. Their stuff

I'd like to think I made this house a home, but you did turn the empty space into a house. If you didn't buy that dining table and chairs, we would've had to eat on the couch...that you also brought.

9. Their smells

You own some lovely and efficient/potent perfumes and body sprays and it's become a natural part of my life. It's comforting and uniquely yours. Also, thanks for the Glade plugin. I know green apple is neither one of our scents, but it masks the kitchen trash smell just wonderfully.

8. Their family

The saying 'mi casa es tu casa' doesn't apply to us because we have to share a living space, but when your family takes me in...that's where it's at. We can watch cable at your fam's place, eat, and not do dishes. Your mom can send you over with goodies, for free! Your dad can come and fix the things we can't.

7. They help me become 'better'

I'm watching you. Not in a creepy way, but I see what you're watching, reading, listening to, eating, etc. And sometimes that makes me wanna step up my fashion game or my consumption of citrus fruits. And it's often all for the best.

6. Constant contact

You live right across the kitchen from me. Nuff' said.

5. They know this place

You grew up around here and you have a car. And if you're out or don't know something, I end up learning other ways of transportation and places to do and get things - so win, win.

4. We (sorta) suffer together

Sure we're different majors and work different jobs, but the struggle is still the same year by year. And we always try to help each other out.

3. They deposit rent

I can't just give anyone that big check. And you deliver, on time, always.

2. They eat what I cook

All a person wants is for others to eat their homemade food. Edible validation is quite nice.

1. Them

You're my friend. I chose you and you chose me (and this apartment). So when I leave, it's like leaving you behind. No matter how much I make this house a home, it's not a home without you.

We all have a person, and when that person makes some new friends, we tend to forget all the great things that can come out of it. Never forget how special they are to you and why you are best friends.

Toilet Troubles

"So, usually I would never go on a Tinder date but when you are out with girlfriends and a hot Bosnian guy says he wants to hang with you and his friends, you oblige. We head to their apartment and when I realized I may pee my pants if I don't find a bathroom soon. I ask for the bathroom and a friend of my tinder date shows me to it and said in all seriousness that I was not allowed to flush the toilet under ANY circumstances. Having a few drinks--or five--I relieved myself to, nevertheless, flush the toilet. Within seconds, his bathroom was flooded and towels were laid out everywhere to catch the toilet water. To say the least, we were not invited back"
