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.

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

College is an endless cycle of crappy, sleepless nights, tedious, boring lectures, and hours of never-ending piles of homework.

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.
