10 Things You Should Thank Your Roommate For

Before you came to college, the idea of living with another person was terrifying! What if you don't get along? What if she's a morning person and you're a night owl? Chances are, after meeting them, you quickly learned that wasn't the case; becoming friends was inevitable. Now after a rough day, you find yourself looking forward to her walking through the door after her night class. So as soon as she gets in the door, grab her, and thank her for these ten things!

1. All the random late night food runs!



Because who else wants to go to Taco Bell with you at two in the morning? Or go get a chocolate milkshake when it’s four degrees?

2. For listening to you talk about your crush like it’s your job.


You know you’ve told her the story of how he looked at you and waved 12 times today already, but you’re just SO excited that you have to tell her a couple hundred more times. After all, you guys are going to get married.


3. For not murdering you when you don’t get up for the first seven alarms.


She knows just as well as you do: you’re not getting out of that bed for your 8 am until 7:55, but instead of getting mad, she tries to go back to sleep. But be warned, she’ll tease you about it later.


4. For all of the beautiful, hilarious, ugly, and insane pictures she takes of you.


You never knew that you looked like a T-Rex while you laughed, but thanks to her, you do now!


5. For being your “Mom away from Mom."


“Your paper is due tomorrow, and you have to do your laundry! You have to wear those black dress pants. No, you can’t wear sweatpants, IT’S A JOB INTERVIEW!” What would you do without her?


6. For being there for you all the time.


It’s finals week and you’ve already lost your mind twice, thought about changing your major, and haven’t slept in three days; she’s been by your side the whole time. Through all the crying, the frustration, the yelling, she’s been there for everything.


7. For all of her undying support.


She knew you were going to get into that summer program, and when you did, she celebrated like she was the one going. When you come to her with a bad test grade or doubting yourself, she’s pushing you and believing in you; even when you aren’t.


8. For sharing.


How could she ever say no?


9. For all of the great advice.


From which professor to take for College Writing, all the way to what you should say to that cute guy who sits in front of you, she generally knows what to say.


10. For being the best roommate, and best friend you could ever have.


How could you live with anyone else?

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

College is a great place to meet people, especially through Greek life. If you look closely at sororities, you'll quickly see there are many different types of girls you will meet.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September.
