Ah, roommates. We've heard all of the horror stories that come with the term. Even if they are your best friend, living with a person can bring out the worst in some people. Of course, if you're lucky enough you'll hit the roommate jackpot and find someone who fits every aspect most of us desire in a living buddy. After two years and counting, I'm confident to say that I won the roommate lottery.
1. She's Considerate
If she's ever going to have friends or family over she always makes sure to run it by me first.
2. Which Means Not Being Loud Late At Night On Weeknights
Even if she still has papers to get done, she always works in the most quiet fashion possible and makes sure to check in that she isn't keeping me awake.
3. She Cleans Up After Herself
You won't find empty takeout containers months later in our place, thank you.
4. And Doesn't Hate Me When I'm Not Clean
While I'm far from a messy person, sometimes life gets a little too hectic to have the time to clean after a long day (or week). My roommate forgives me for when things get a little untidy until I have the time to get to them.
5. She Is A Built In Companion
I always have someone to be my partner-in-crime.
6. Which Means I Never Eat Alone
It's a rare occasion when I don't have someone to eat my meals with.
7. She Accepts Me As I Am
Meaning no makeup, fresh out of the shower in the baggiest sweatpants and t-shirt I could find.
8. She Lets Me Borrow Her Clothes
When it's Friday night and nothing seems to look good she always offers her wardrobe to help my fashion-challenged self.
9. She Approves Messages To Boys
Texts and Snapchats are always run by her.
10. We Go To The Gym Together
Tell me there's something more perfect than having a roommate who is also your workout buddy. There isn't.
11. She's Always Down For A Roomie Movie Night
Sometimes it's just better to stay in.
12. She Cheers Me Up When I'm Upset
Or cries with me.
13. And Is The First Person I Want To Share Good News With
Who else will I have celebratory champagne with?
14. I Don't Get Sick Of Talking To Her 24/7
If we aren't together chances are we're texting, sending each other Snapchats or commenting on each others social media posts.
15. She's My Best Friend
Forever grateful for having the best roommate I could ask for and more.
