Coming to college, I was so nervous that I would get some crazy person who would steal all my stuff or stare at me while I sleep as a roommate. I heard crazy stories about horrid roommates like Rebecca (Leighton Meester) in The Roommate. I always thought, “With my luck, I’ll get some girl who has never shared a room and doesn’t understand what it’s like to live with another person.” However, when I met my roommate all those fears went away. She is a beautiful sunflower in a sunshine meadow, and these are the reasons I love her.

1. She is my confidant and personal therapist

When I need someone to complain to at the end of the day, she’s always there. She will listen and try to help me as much as I need it and try to cheer me up. And when I want to be a Debbie Downer, she lets me be miserable and just sits and watches Netflix.

2. She takes my sass

My roommate will take my sass and give it right back. It makes our room loud and obnoxious, and I love it.

3. She lets me borrow anything and everything

This includes water bottles, clothing, makeup, etc. And it’s like having another closet! Even though we aren’t the same size, we find things that work in each other’s closets.

4. She doesn’t hate my boyfriend

This is especially lucky because he is a goofball and we can be pretty disgusting if we want to be. She will deal with us being lovey dovey and be the third wheel when we go out. P.S. she's actually my girlfriend so he’s actually third wheel not her.

4. She is my best friend

She fulfills every aspect of the definition of best friend. At night when we lay on our phones, we will send each other funny things even though we are 10 feet away from each other. We will gossip and tell each other secrets all the time as if we have known each other since 1st grade. She will always be there for me and I for her, even when we go our separate ways.
