10 Things That Happen When You Live With Your Best Friends
Morgan Fox

College is a time that a lot of young adults learn to live alone. Some adults can live with whoever and make it work. Some people live with their friends and have problems but some of us are a little luckier. Here is my list of things that happen when you live with your best friends.

1. Once one person is sick, everyone is sick.

Good luck. Once one of your roommates is sick, it's bound to get to you eventually. Stock up on disinfecting wipes and don't you dare share the same glass.

2. You learn each others insecurities.

Before living with these people, I never realized that they had insecurities. They were so confident and so close to perfect in my eyes. Turns out, everyone really does have things that they are insecure about. Good thing roommates are also really good at picking you up when you get into a funk.

3. You never have a boring grocery shopping experience.

Grocery shopping for four different people becomes a grand adventure. The cart becomes hard to push, the cashier is confused, and the other people in the store are definitely annoyed that it took us five minutes to pick out the bread we wanted. For us, it was a bonding experience.

4. You have a free therapist.

Okay, maybe those aren't the "right" words. You always have someone that is going to listen to you if you need it. Sometimes you might even have three other people there to listen. They give the best advice because they actually care about the outcome.

5. The dance parties/jam sessions are endless.

Beyonce? Fergie? Britney? Who knows who it is going to be but the neighbors are going to hate our singing and the Snapchat videos are going to come in an abundance. I don't care what anyone thinks, we just really like to sing and dance.

6. There is always someone that is going to be brutally honest with you.

Whether you want them to be honest or not, they are going to tell you exactly what they think about your outfit. They are even going to tell you if you are going after the boy that is going to break your heart. They are also going to call you out for something completely ridiculous that you are doing; you'll appreciate it in the end because they really do know what they are talking about.

7. You become more comfortable with who you are.

I never thought I would be comfortable walking around with no make up and my hair in a rats nest but in the morning, I don't really have a choice. Thanks for putting up with me like a champ and never judging my "sleeping beauty" look in the morning. Thanks to them, I am more comfortable with who I am.

8. There is never a dull moment at dinner time.

There are four people trying to fry their food and use the toaster and the kitchen is not that big. This turns into a straight up sitcom in the kitchen as we all end up stepping on each others toes and wanting what they are making for dinner instead of what we made. Also, what is that burning smell?

9. You have someone to binge watch the game show network and bake cookies with you.

Or, in other words, you just always have someone that enjoys doing the same things as you and even if it's 11:00 at night, they are totally okay with watching the 12th episode of Family Feud with you.

10. There is always a smiling face to come home to.

No matter how your day went, you always have loving people to return home to. Chances are, they are going to make you laugh, watch your favorite movie with you, maybe even cook you dinner. There is nothing better than returning home and seeing the people that love you.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

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.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
