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.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

College is a great place to meet people, especially through Greek life. If you look closely at sororities, you'll quickly see there are many different types of girls you will meet.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
