29 Annoying Things All Roommates Do

Disclaimer: I am probably more particular than most roommates that anyone will ever encounter, and very random things can drive me nuts. However, there are many things that roommates do in general that would irritate anybody. I am also not claiming that I am the perfect roommate, as I am guilty of some things on this list myself.

1. Not changing the toilet paper roll.

2. Leaving hair in the shower.

3. Leaving dirty dishes in the sink for days.

4. When it's midnight and you're trying to sleep, but suddenly it's social hour in your common room.

5. Leaving makeup all over the counter in the bathroom.

6. Getting toothpaste all over the sink and being too lazy to rinse it.

7. Letting the trash pile up until it looks like Mt. Vesuvius.

8. Ordering takeout and stinking up the whole room.

9. Forgetting to turn the light off before they get in bed.

10. Snoring

11. When you're freezing your ass off and they decide to open the window.

12. Or refusing to open the window when it's sweltering outside.

13. Being super loud in the morning while they get ready and you're still sleeping.

14. Taking naps at the most inconvenient times.

15. Yelling at other roommates for things they do themselves.

16. Eating all of your food.

17. Playing videos/music out loud when you're trying to study.

18. Treating the common room like a second bedroom.

19. Leaving the sponge in the sink so all the nasty food and drinks can soak into it.

20. When they use your stuff without asking.

21. Using your dishes and then not washing them.

22. Taking your clothes.

23. Not replacing common items like toilet paper, tissues, hand soap, etc.

24. Getting "sexiled"

25. When someone misses the trash can and thinks it's chill to just leave the trash on the floor.

26. Having pets.

27. Not contributing to cleaning common areas.

28. Taking up all the closet space.

29. When you're trying to quietly do work and your roommate takes a phone call in the room.

At the end of the day, though, no matter how much they may annoy me, my roommates are still my best friends.

It is that time of year again. Christmastime. It is one of my favorite seasons for a myriad of reasons. Here are just a few reasons why I love Christmas. This list is in no order of importance.

1. The Christmas decorations

I am that person who will decorate directly after Thanksgiving is over. This year, my roommates and I put the tree up in our apartment before we even left for Thanksgiving break. It is a great stress reliever for me to just sit in my living room and work on the huge amount of work I have before the semester is over.

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?
