10 Things That Happen When Your Roommate Becomes Your Best Friend

The best (or worst) thing about college is getting to live with a roommate. Depending on who you end up with, this experience can be good or bad. This person sees you at your worst, when it's 3 am and you have a paper due at 8 or at your best, when that cute guy from chemistry finally texts you. If you're lucky, you get someone great that eventually becomes your best friend and these things happen:

1. Every night becomes a therapy session.

Because who else is going to listen to all of your problems and not judge? She'll always tell you like it is. You both give great advice.


2. You have one giant closet instead of two small ones.

You trust each other enough to share everything. With both of your fashion skills combined, nothing can stop you. Her black dress + your red shoes = total world domination.


3. You memorize each others' schedule.

It's not planned. It just kind of happens. Oh it's 2:00 on a Wednesday? She's in math class.


4. You always have someone to go places with you.

"Hey, wanna go get dinner?" "Sure!" She'll always tag along on your adventures across campus or anywhere else you might need to go. She can make any boring task a fun one!


5. You understand each other completely.

It's like you have pizza telepathy. She knows what you're thinking before you even think it. "Wanna order pizza tonight?" "Duh."


6. You're always updated on each others' lives, even on long breaks apart.

If you can't tell her in person, a text is the next best thing. It's like she never left. She gets a daily update of your life, even if it's just telling her you saw a cute puppy that day.


7. You celebrate together and cry together.

She's the very first person you call when something big happens. She's there to dance around the room with you after you ace your science exam and cry with you when you're stressed. Sometimes both. You both care about the small things and that's what makes your friendship so great.


8. You balance each other out.

She's the crazy one with a sunshiny personality and you're the cool, calm, and collected one that keeps you both put together. It works perfectly. Together, you're the dream team.


9. You watch the same shows on Netflix.

Usually together. You might even share an account. You obviously can't watch the next episode without her. It's against all laws of having a roommate.


10. You wouldn't trade each other for the world.

She quickly became your best friend and you couldn't imagine living with anyone else.


Hopefully, you'll be able to find a roommate this great.

40 Gift Ideas for the Indecisive

It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. But also a time of stressing over the perfect gift.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

Bucket List To Live In The Now

Find excitement in your life and start exploring wherever you are right here, right now.

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…
