12 Crazy Things A Former Roommate Has Said & Done

UC Davis Student Housing

You learn a lot more about someone when you live with them - their habits, their secrets, their life stories, their problems...But how much is too much? When does it come down to the point when you can't take your roommate anymore? When is it noticeable when a roommate goes a little too far in, well anything? From a personal experience, here are some of the wackiest, things a roommate has ever told me - it was hard to go to sleep sometimes after this level of just plan attention-seeking.

1) "I have been demonically possessed - twice."

2) "I'm allergic to the color of this cat, but I'm fine around every other cat."

3) "I hate Catholicism." Posts Christian morals all over social media

4) "I wasn't humming around the house - that was Adele playing." *CLEARLY hums several times a day

5) "I get 'county' and 'country' mixed up sometimes."

6) "I was afraid that I'd be kicked out of the house and left in the rain." ~ We're not barbarians, no one kicks you out of a place unless you're a criminal

7) "I don't do public transportation, I don't know how to."

8) "I don't fully sit on toilet seats at home - it's just how I am."

9) "I want a dog, and I'll just make it a service animal, but don't worry it won't bark at all and I'll keep it in a cage under my bed when I'm gone."

10) "Can I have some?" *Always asking to eat your food when they SHOULD HAVE JUST MADE SOME FOR THEMSELVES

11) "Today in class, some guy came in and PUSHED me in my seat so I stood up in front of the whole class and told him off like a strong woman, and everybody clapped for me." *Yeah, sure

12) This cloth is moldy, this area is moldy, this looks MOLDY..." *Says about everything in the kitchen that is drying yet none of it was that dirty AT ALL.

Okay, I'm not really sorry because when someone who made themselves out to appear and sound OUT OF THIS WORLD MAD, then has the audacity to call you and others the "crazy" ones, this is the outcome. So to everyone who has either lived or simply had to deal with someone that is pretty similar to what all of this sounds like, here's to you for having the strength to put up with them.

Economic Benefits of Higher Wages

Nobody deserves to be living in poverty.

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

13 Times April Ludgate Perfectly Explained College

Because who understands your bitterness better than April?

Indiana University - Purdue University Indianapolis

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.

Because who understands your bitterness better than April?

1. When you have to provide an "interesting fact" for your first day ice-breaker.

2. When your professor is babbling on and on in his lecture.

3. When you edit your friend's paper and they get an A.

4. When it's 2 AM and you remember you have a test tomorrow.

5. When you finish taking the test and you're pretty sure you failed...

6. ...but then you get the test back and somehow passed.

7. When you've been up for 12 hours straight writing a paper.

8. And then you manage to stay awake in class the next day.

9. When you have to butter up your professor for an extra credit opportunity.

10. When you're assigned a group project.

11. And your group-mates are trying to chat about life instead of the assignment.

12. When it's your last class of the day and you're about to go home.

13. But then you remember rent is due tonight and the anger comes back.
