I'm telling you right now to room with your best friend if you want to. There have been numerous studies telling you to do the exact opposite. You're told to run the other direction because it will ruin your friendship. Well those studies are wrong and heres 7 reasons rooming with your best friends will complete your life.

They will take on every cheat day with you.

So you want to skip the gym today and pig out on some really good Thia food. Chances are your best friend gone roommate will be down to join you.

Your place is a judgment free zone.

No matter your past or your strange hobbies best friends love you for you. And if you want to sit on the couch for 12 hours watching Grey's Anatomy reruns they don't care. They might even be right beside you doing the same thing.

If you need someone at 3:00am on a Tuesday they are there for you.

Whether it's a ride home from a tinder mistake or you need a hug because life is getting to be a little too much. Your roommate is never too far away to come to your rescue.

When you bring a bad guy home your best friend isn't going to let that happen.

Best friends look out for each other and if Chad from Palace Coffee wants to take you out and your roommate knows Chad has a girlfriend or Chad is a bad guy they are going to be brutally honest. You'll be mad at first but Chad is bad and they are doing you a favor.

You can share everything.

Okay so maybe not everything but for the most part if you need to raid their closet its up for grabs. And if they make dinner its probably for two and you can have some.

They keep you in check.

If it's time to get yourself together they are going to tell you. When it's been a little to long since you went out last you'er going to hear about it. If that outfit is just not cutting it they will tell you. Brutal honesty is no stranger in ya'll's home.

Unlimited venting time.

Your day turned sour or someone just really ticked you off. Good thing you live with your best friend and you can vent to her when ya'll both get home.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?
