11 reasons why teasing your roommate is the best
popsugar.com

Whether you've gone random or not; having a roommate is always tricky business. When you are living with another person for an entire year, you're bound to get to know more of each other than probably either one of you wants. It starts off by just knowing their sleeping route and other daily habits, but at the end of the year you know more about their personal life than you might know about your own and vice versa. What could happen is that because of all this knowledge you unintentionally acquired you might start to get annoyed with them, but what I'd suggest is that you use your shared knowledge for the greater good and start teasing each other.

Just to get the edge of things a bit, here are 11 reasons why teasing your roommate is actually the best:

1. It makes you more open

They might judge for taking naps all day and all the other unusual habits you have, but the fact that they know this only means that you don't have to hide any of your other habits from them either. It will make your life a lot easier if you stop trying to hide all the SourPatch Kids you buy every single day, because of fear of judgement.

2. It makes the relationship healthier

Sometimes living with someone in such a small space can get awkward, but the fact that you can crack jokes about it shows that it doesn't have to. Teasing your roommate about their life clears the tension and makes room for a much more relaxed and health atmosphere.

3. It is a lot of fun

Who else is more fun to tease than the person you see every single day and already know exactly how they're going to react? Absolutely no one!

4. It shows how much you know each other

You can't tease someone about their life if you know nothing about it. The fact that you know each other so well to know which buttons to push, shows that your relationship is flourishing.

5. It shows that you pay attention

You wouldn't tease someone you don't care about. Teasing your roommate about that time they humiliated themselves shows that you enough of an effort to actually remember the things they do. You paid so much attention to this person that you found spare time to come up with jokes about their life.

6. You become closer through the process

They know everything about you and you know everything about them. You can't expect to have your roommate relationship succeed if you're not even close enough to know why Chris from 7th grade is a person who shall not be named, but who's name you occasionally drop just to see how they react.

7. It gives you more confidence to share personal details in the future

Despite the fact that your roommate will probably host future roasts in your room using these personal details, you know that deep down that's all you really need. This person already know every little detail there is to know about you, the fact that they're using it to roast you only shows that they're close enough to you to not treat you like you're fragile and can't handle a little mockery.

8. You make fun of either people together

You might tease each other from time to time, but bless all the people you both know because your mockery will also include them. This time you get to join forces and not be pitted against each other!

9. You have each other's backs

Together you make a united front. You might make fun of all the frat boys your roommate has made out with, but no one other than you can make fun of her for doing exactly that. Don't they dare!

10. You have inside jokes

Because you make fun of their life so much, means that after a while one word or look will be enough to tell what has happened to them. You'll be crying of laughter within no time, because what's funnier than not even having to say the joke to know that you are the roast master.

11. Your roommate will become one of your best friends

You'll laugh so much about each other's embarrassments that you can't help but become super close friends in the process. So brace yourself for a lifetime of mockery and friendship.

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.
