15 Common Discussions Between Roommates
Auburn.edu

One semester down and one to go of my freshman year in college. I have to say, living in a dorm has been a journey. My roommate and I were strangers sleeping in a room together, and we both agree that the first night or two was super awkward. But 4 months later, we were sad that we wouldn't see each other for a whole month for Winter Break. Whether you've known your roommate for years, or you just met at the beginning of the semester, I'm sure you've faced similar questions and comments along the way.

1. What episode are you on? Oh that's a good one, just wait.

We recommend various Netflix shows and often binge watch a few episodes of "Friends" together.


2. Does my hair look greasy?

Okay no, we're not slobs. But we do skip a night every so often of washing our hair so, you must ask for a second opinion on this one.

3. Should I go to math today?

Of course.

4. Should I wear sweatpants or do I have to wear real ones?

What about a happy medium and go with leggings.

5. Do you know if it is cold outside?

It is too long of a walk to try and see for yourself so maybe your roommate has been outside today.

6. Do I have something due tomorrow?

We know each other’s schedules like we know our own, and it is probably because we complain about being so busy.

7. Will you grab more Command Strips while you’re out? The curtains fell again.

The curtains fall all the time and the paint goes with them. Sometimes, Command Strips can be great, but other times, not so much.

8. Is it hot in here?

You can’t ever tell so you ask for clarification. A lot of times, it's right after hiking the stairs and you want to make sure it's not just you being out of shape.


9. The shower is kinda hot now, you should get one while it last.

It’s a good shower when you don’t come out shivering so obviously you have to share the news.

10. Are these brownies old?

Bringing back brownies from Thanksgiving break was a good idea, but eating one a week later wasn’t.

11. Did we just spend all day in here?

Sometimes, a whole day goes by when you wake up late and study for the rest, then you realize you haven’t left all day.


12. I’ll take out the trash tomorrow I promise.

Trash piles up quickly and it gets in the way. Nothing gross, but boxes from packages take up a lot of space in our tiny room.

13. Did I have any mail?

We share a mailbox, and we'd rather just ask than walk all the way to the mail room.

14. When is the last time I’ve washed my sheets?

You can't ever remember so maybe your roommate can.

15. Is it too late to have coffee?

For your sake, and mine, if it is past 8 o’clock, you shouldn’t have coffee.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

I don't think I say it enough...

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.
