6 Reasons Why Living With Roommates Sucks

I love them all individually, but sometimes we get under each other's skin.

6 Reasons Why Living With Roommates Sucks
Kelsey Thomas

Don't get me wrong, I love the three girls I live with; however, it can be a challenging experience from time to time. It's much different than living at home with your parents or living in just a dorm room. This year has already been an experience. I'm sure I am also guilty of doing these things, but they are annoying.

1. You don't know their cleaning habits.

Some of us like to keep the apartment spotless and looking presentable, while others of us leave our trash and food everywhere. It's hard finding a healthy balance between the two.

2. You don't know their sleeping habits.

Some of us need to get up early for classes, while others of us don't need to be up early because we have late classes. A few of us have to stay up late to study, but some of us prefer to get to bed early.

3. They exclude you.

Living with people, obviously not everyone is going to be BFF's, but sometimes it's easy to feel closer with some roommates and not others. It's hard to avoid, it's a sad fact of living with more than one person.

4. Laundry is a hassle.

There's always someone's clothes in the dryer when you need it. Me, just like everyone else tends to leave their clothes in the dryer until they need them again. It's more convenient that way, but it's annoying to everyone else.

5. Food is also a struggle.

There is only a certain amount of cabinet and fridge space, so not everyone can have all the food they want. The freezer and fridge is always overflowing with leftovers and lots of groceries no one actually eats.

6. Walls are thinner than you think.

Whether it's the radio, television, or friends, you can hear everything. It's especially inconvenient when you're attempting to study, nap, or just relax. We can hear whatever happens at all times, even at the wee hours of the morning.

On the Upper East Side, Blair Waldorf is an icon. She's what every girl aspires to be. She's beautiful, confident, and can handle any obstacle that life throws at her. Sure, she may just be a television character. But for me, she's a role model and theres a lot that can be learned from Queen B.

The Perks of Being a Girl

“I just want you to know that you’re very special… and the only reason I’m telling you is that I don’t know if anyone else ever has.”

As frustrating and annoying as it can be, being a girl is really awesome. We are beautiful inside and out. Not a lot of people may see that, but girls have a ton of amazing qualities.

We have unique flirting skills.

Us girls have a significant way to flirt with other people. Even when we say the most random or awkward things, we have a way of making everything sound cute and planned. It’s just a gift; we’re good like that.

We Heart It

Over the past decade, television has undergone a very crucial transition: the incorporation of female lead characters. Since it's a known fact that girls actually do run the world (Beyonce said so herself), it's time for the leading ladies of the small screen to get some credit. Without these characters, women would still be sitting in the background of our favorite shows. These women are not only trailblazers for female empowerment, but role models for women worldwide. With that, here are 15 of the smartest, sassiest ladies gracing our screens that remind us that women do, indeed, rule:
