7 Types Of Roommates As Told By "Friends"

Well, it's about that time of the year again. The new semester is right around the corner, and whether you chose housing on - campus or off-campus, there is one thing on everyone's mind: New Roommates. Everyone is curious about how they will get along with their roommates and what kind of roommates they will have. So with the help of Friends, I put together this little list of 7 different types of roommates.

1. The Eddie

Eddie is the type of roommate everyone is hoping they don't get. Eddie was Chandler's crazy roommate for a short period of time. The Eddie type is the paranoid, crazy type of roommate that you are afraid of but actually don't know what to do about them. They come in your room uninvited, accuse you of taking their things, and just make you miserable. If you find yourself with an Eddie, try to swap immediately.


2. The Ross

Ross is another type of roommate that you are hoping you don't get stuck with. At first, Ross seems like he would be no problem, but as time goes on you start to realize he is actually really annoying. His air purifier will sing you to sleep, his favorite shows will take preference over yours, and if you even think about making any type of noise you'll get the "quiet down" gesture. The Ross type can be an annoying roommate, but they can also be great friends, so at least the relationship won't be all bad.


3. The Rachel

Rachel is probably the most fun type of roommate. She isn't the neatest or most responsible but she is a ton of fun. Rachel is the type of roommate that will instantly become your best friend. The type of roommate that you will have movie marathons with or go out with on a Friday. She's the type of roommate that you'll have late night talks with and when the semester's over, you'll be sad to say goodbye. The Rachel type is one of the types of roommates you hope for.


4. The Joey

Joey is an interesting type of roommate. Joey can be a lot of fun and a lot like Rachel, but there is a difference. Joey is super dependent. If you get Joey as your roommate you can guarantee that he'll ask you for money. You'll probably have to help him with rent or with everyday expenses. He also doesn't share his food so keep that in mind when you're looking for something to eat. The benefits of having Joey as a roommate is that he is a great and loyal friend. You will bond with him over TV Shows and when playing games. The Joey type isn't the ideal type of roommate but you will gain a great friend and that's what counts!


5. The Phoebe

Phoebe is a super chill type of roommate. She's kind of a mix of Joey and Rachel and then some. Phoebe is the kind of roommate who doesn't quite have it all together but she's okay with it. She's a little messy and super carefree. Phoebe is the type of roommate that just goes with the flow and doesn't really care about anything. The Phoebe type is super easy to get along with. She'll be a great friend. The Phoebe type is awesome to live with and it should be a fun experience!


6. The Chandler

Chandler is one of the best types of roommates. He is funny, kind, helpful, and responsible. Chandler is the kind of roommate who will help you out if you need it. He will be there for you and listen when you are having a bad day. He'll make you laugh and he'll become your best friend. Chandler is the type of roommate everyone wants. With Chandler, you'll have fun and truly enjoying your living experience. If you end up with the Chandler type you are in for a treat!


7. The Monica

Monica is the roommate everyone claims they don't want but in reality everyone is secretly hoping they get her. At first glance Monica seems like the uptight and strict roommate, but there is so much more to her. Monica can cook, really well! She doesn't like a messy apartment so she will always do the cleaning. She'll take care of you like your mom would if you still lived at home. Not only does that make her a great roommate but she is also a great friend. She is caring and great to talk to. She is the all around best roommate. If you end up with the Monica type don't be mad, be happy because you are in good hands!

So whether you end up with one of these types or you are one of these types there is no need to worry. Make the most of the experience and make some new friends. Except for Eddie. Run far, far away from Eddie.

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.
