15 Things You Definitely Do If Your Roommate Is Your Bestie

My sophomore year in college gave me the amazing opportunity to live with my best friend! We randomly met through mutual friends, and on a leap of faith, we decided to room together. We became best friends instantly! I'm sure if you lived with your best friend, you know that you guys do absolutely everything together while totally being true selves. Here are a few things you have DEFINITELY done with your roommate if they're your absolute bestie!

1. "I'm starving, are you starving?" Even though you both already ate lunch, snacks, and dinner at the dining hall.

2. You're totally comfortable with each other, so nothing is off limits. This could be dancing around with no pants on, going to the bathroom while they're in the shower.

3. You're each other's biggest supporters and always attend their events, whether it's a concert, club event, or even just their shift at work.

4. After a long day, you love to come home and hear about your roomie's day and everything that happened. And I mean everything.

If they have a conversation with their family/significant other/other friend, you want to know all about it. If they go on a date, you'll have the popcorn ready when they get home to listen. Everything important that happens to them is just as important to you!

5. Whether it's a TV show or activity, you definitely have something that you both obsess over that is just for you two.

It will honestly start to consume your life and you will bring it up in every conversation, even if other people are around who won't understand.

6. You have a secret language.

Okay, no, you didn't actually create a secret language (I mean, maybe you did, who knows), but you both can have a full conversation about something without even saying what it is and everyone else is just left in confusion.

7. You know everything there is to know about all the crazy crushes they have.

Whether it's actually their significant other, a person they swiped right on on Tinder, their celebrity crush, coworker, group partner, or their waiter they had that day. You gladly will support their fictional scenarios about them and will help plan their wedding immediately as long as you get to be the Maid of Honor or Best Man.

8. You will lose sleep just to stay up with them doing stupid stuff that no one else would ever do.

Like puppet shows on the wall, watching a boxing show with Nick Jonas in it, grabbing your favorite snack from the vending machine after a night out, or burning Oreo churros in the microwave. (Okay, maybe this was just me and my roommate, but I'm sure you guys have your own weird things y'all do at night together, too).

9. You have a million and one photos together along with stupid ones of just your roommate.

Of course, the cute ones will be posted on Instagram or Facebook for the World to see, but you also have a whole set of blackmail photos to use against your roommate whenever the time may come.

10. You hate going out without one another!

A party is not a party without your best friend being there, but you also hate when you have dinner plans without them or even a study session at the library. Everything is so much better with your roomie being present.

11. You're not afraid to call them out on something.

If it's your roommate's turn to take out the trash or they need to stop being so dramatic, you're going to say something. It's not being mean, but you know you can be upfront with them!

12. You'll defend them to the depths of the Earth.

If anyone talks bad or treats your roommate with disrespect, they're coming after you, too, so you'll take the matters into your own hands and stick up for them without question!

13. You want to introduce them to absolutely everyone.

As much as you talk about your roommate, you can't wait to show them off to your family and friends even more. It's much more exciting to show off your best friend compared to a bringing a boy home, trust me...

14. When one of you cries, you all cry.

If your roommate is having a bad day, then you stick it out with them and watch sad movies, eat fattening food, and just chill out together all day long. If they're upset, you're definitely going to feel upset, too!

15. There always going to be your best friend.

You shared such a small living space together for so long that y'all are legally obligated to be best friends for life, and you aren't even the least bit upset about that!

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.

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.
