6 Reasons Why Your Roommate Is Better Than A Boyfriend

The time has come: College. Freshman year. For the first time in your life you're living with a complete stranger. Someone who's never been to your house, someone who doesn't yet know about your past infatuation with One Direction, a complete and utter stranger. But then, the days you spend with each other turn into weeks and those weeks turn into months. And next thing you know, that person that you once called a stranger, becomes something much more than you could've ever expected. Much more than a stranger, much more than a roommate. They know you almost better than you know yourself. They're the ultimate boyfriend, actually they're better than a boyfriend. This one's for you roomie!

1. They never fail to greet you when you walk through the door.

Whether you want to be greeted or not.

2. Spending time with you isn't a chore, it's their favorite activity.

"You guys spend too much time together."

3. They will actually listen to all your wants and needs.

You want pizza? They'll get you that pizza (because they want it too).

4. They'll always give you their honest opinion.

Sometimes, their opinion may be too honest.

5. They'll never judge you for how much you eat.

Or better yet, how you look when you eat.

6. And at the end of the day, they've always got your back.

And you hate the thought that one day (hopefully far, far into the future), one of you may move in with a real significant other...but let’s be honest, they'll never be able to compete.

Friendship. It's defined as the state of being attached to another person by feelings of affection or personal regard, but what really is friendship? Is it that occasional hallway talk with that one person who always manages to cheer you up? Is it that relationship you have with someone where they can be gone for a long period of time, but when they come back, it's like they never left? Is it spending every waking hour with someone, and knowing every detail about their life? Is it the relationship that's filled with fighting, but filled with even more resolution? I've learned that it's all of these things, and every friendship is different. It's a beautifully dysfunctional mess that should always be cherished and never be taken for granted.
