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.
