10 Things Roommates Experience
the hunt

When you become roommates with someone or even a few people, you all start to become the same person. It can be scary at times how much you all turn alike or the lingo you share with them that no one will ever understand. Best of all, they become your soul sisters. You grow together, cry together, laugh together, and make memories together. If you truly love your roomies, I can guarantee you'll relate to these.

1. "Hey can I borrow that pink shirt you have?"

How come we like each other's clothes better than our own? Maybe this is the reason all of the clothes in my closet seemed to have disappeared. But hey, if she looks cute in them, that's all that matters.

2. You text for each other.

"What should I say back? I don't want to sound too pushy but I also don't want to sound like I don't care." That's when your roommate grabs the phone and types the text for you as you yell, "Don't send it yet before I read it!" Good thing for roomies!

3. "Do you still have my mascara? The pink bottle with the big brush?"

Your make-up starts to become OUR make-up. It's pointless to go looking for your make-up in your purse or car when it has gone missing. All you have to do is open your roommate's make-up drawer and BAM there it is.

4. Your "time of the month" becomes synchronized.

I always thought this was a myth until I lived with five other girls and realized it's like some crazy spell. Suddenly, we are all eating ALL of whatever we can find in the house, yelling from cramps, and giving attitude to anyone within 10 feet of us.

5. "Lets get ready together."

How come we still say this to each other? Like duh, of course we are going to get ready together when our bathrooms are right across from each other and we use all the same stuff anyway. It wouldn't begin as a good night if we didn't blare our favorite music and dance around while getting ready.

6. "Oh my gosh. She did what?! Where is she?! I'll handle it!!"

Well, I've heard this one many times and secretly have said it many more. Roommates know everything about each other. They learn your deepest secrets and your biggest insecurities. When someone messes with one of "the girls," they mess with all of us. Roomies have each other's backs always and will do just about anything to protect one another. Although, sometimes we may go too far. Whoops!

7. "When is he coming over? I have to meet him."

Poor guy...he has no idea that all the roommates will be home just to meet him and spy on how the night goes. We need all the juicy details asap.

8. When all else fails, you cuddle.

It becomes habit to jump right in her bed when you're having a bad night. You will both talk for hours, cry a little, turn on Grey's Anatomy, and cuddle until you fall asleep. This is probably the best thing about living with your best friends.

9. "Should we still go out tonight, or just stay in because I'm tired."

How come every Friday and Saturday night this conversation comes up? We try to be normal college kids who go out, but secretly we are too tired from the week so we'd rather stay in and watch Netflix. Good thing we end up forcing each other to get up and go have a good night. MOST of the time, it ends up being worth it.

10. Your roommates become more than your best friends. They become your sisters.

Through the ups and downs of life, they'll be there. You begin to walk hand-in-hand as you learn to "adult." Because let me tell you, it is NOT as easy as it looks. You are together through each other's struggles, and through each other's victories. Best of all, you learn to love them so much that you could never picture life without them.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
