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.

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.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
