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.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
