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.

So while we approach the greatest time of the year, let's watch the 15 best Christmas movies of all time.

6 Signs You Are An English Major

There are various stereotypes about college students, most of which revolve around the concept of your major. Unfortunately, we often let stereotypes precede our own judgments, and we take what information is immediately available to us rather than forming our own opinions after considerable reflection. If I got a dollar for every time my friends have made a joke about my major I could pay my tuition. One stereotype on campus is the sensitive, overly critical and rigid English major. Here are six telltale signs you are one of them.

When you were little, your parents probably told you television makes your brain rot so you wouldn't watch it for twelve straight hours. However, I feel we can learn some pretty valuable stuff from television shows. "The Office," while a comedy, has some pretty teachable moments thrown in there. You may not know how to react in a situation where a co-worker does something crazy (like put your office supplies in jello) but thanks to "The Office," now you'll have an idea how to behave ifsomething like that should happen.

Here are just a few of the things that religious Office watchers can expect to learn.
