11 Things You've Definitely Said To Your Roommate More Than Once

No matter how wacky some of the conversations you have with your roommate get, you’ve got each other's backs.

11 Things You've Definitely Said To Your Roommate More Than Once
Brodie Vissers

The first year of college is full of interesting discoveries. This includes things like planning your own schedule, choosing what you get to do over the weekend, and finding the group of people that become a second family. But what’s probably the most interesting thing is the kind of conversations you have with your roommate.

Here are 11 things you or your roommate could have said to each other more than once:

1. Did you eat the last pop-tart?

If you have a class at 8 o’clock in the morning and you need it to get through the day, you could be out of luck if they’re all gone. Just make a note to get two boxes of them next time you go to the store.

2. Do you have any extra tampons?

Girls, let’s be real. We probably ask about this more than we do about our homework.

3. Can I wear this?

If it fits and you wash it before giving it back, yes. Otherwise, it’s a no.

4. Do you know where X is?

If it was still in the room between last week and today, it might be under one of the beds. I know if it’s not there, we’re out of luck.

5. I forgot my key.

From personal experience, this one could have you pinning it to the cork board on your door to your roommate bombing you with texts until you rush back to the room...which is halfway across from where you currently are on campus.

6. Are you going to eat that?

Seriously, if you even ask just take the food and eat it. Because once you ask and I haven’t touched the food it’s all yours.

7. *sniffs* Did you burn something in the microwave?

Maybe it was the bag of popcorn from last week. Maybe it was someone else setting off the smoke alarms in the whole hall. But no, we never figure it out by the end of the year.

8. I’m going to borrow X.

As long as I have it back before I need it, you are more than welcome to use it. Besides that:

9. Please swipe me into the bathroom. I lost my ID.

Again, from personal experience, this is something that can happen A LOT. Be prepared to help a girl out so she can go about her business.

10. How long has that been in the fridge?

If I write my name and the date on it, that means I will eat it. If it’s been forgotten about within ten days, it’s time to throw the leftovers away and clean out the fridge.

11. “If I’m not back in X amount of time--” “I’ll call to get you out.”

Let’s be honest with ourselves. No matter how wacky some of the conversations you have with your roommate get, you’ve got each other's backs.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

19 Lessons I'll Never Forget from Growing Up In a Small Town

There have been many lessons learned.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
