You really don't know someone until you live with them! This is a lesson I'm quickly learning this summer as I have taken the opportunity to live with my best friends from high school. The four of us were separated when we all chose four different universities, but we are now all living the dream together at the beach. This is a list of 12 things that you adopt when deciding to live with your best friends.
1. Four separate closets quickly morph into a closet the size of a small boutique.
2. You find yourself making mass amounts of food for family dinner.

3. If one person's getting ice cream, you are all getting ice cream.

4. Every single night is a sleepover (obviously consisting of talking into the wee hours of the morning, eating midnight snacks and watching countless movies.
5. You carpool pretty much everywhere you go.
One person needs to go to the bank? "I'll ride with you."
6. If one person goes to the gym, everyone goes to the gym.
Same goes for naps.
7. You find yourself sifting through laundry extremely confused about whose laundry is whose.

8. You'll need to label your leftovers because that fridge belongs to everyone in the house.

9. The competition surprisingly never stops.
10. At least twice a day you hear, "What's your phone at? I need the charger".
11. A dance party is always happening because there is always someone in the shower blaring their music from the bathroom.
12. You realize you wish you could live in this moment forever.
What's better than living with your besties?
They may be in your space 24/7, but would you really have it any other way?
