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.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
