8 Reasons Living With Your Best Friends Is The Best Idea You'll Have

You won't actually end up hating each other by the end of it like everyone says.

Many people say don’t live with your best friends because you'll end up wanting to never see each other again. I completely disagree, moving in with my best friends was the best decision I could’ve made. They are my hypemen, support, and family, and I couldn't imagine living with anyone else.

1. They support you no matter what

I am constantly banging on my roommates’ doors to get advice. Somehow, even if what I decide to do is the complete opposite of what they said, they will still support me. Now, maybe this is a bad thing if they support some of my more risky decisions, but ultimately, I know these ladies have my back.

2. You can get ready together

Imagine not only having one closet full of clothes and shoes, but three. It is an absolute dream. Living with my best friends has led to an infinite amount of outfit possibilities, and there is always someone around to help you pick out the perfect outfit.

3. You make the most amazing memories

Binge-watching Netflix, cooking our first meal together, trying to cope with the upstairs neighbors (who don't know how to be quiet), and so much more. Living with your besties makes you remember the hilarious inside jokes, mishaps, and embarrassing stories. But the good news is you get to make even more when you live together. I swear we never stop laughing.

4. It's the ultimate slumber party

Living with your best friends is like a constant slumber party. Binge watching rom coms or scary movies while pigging out on pizza and ice cream is by far my favorite thing...what more could you possibly need? Plus, having someone to constantly gossip with is just a bonus.

5. You learn to appreciate each other even more

You will learn to appreciate each other more than you could ever imagine. It's the little things, like coming home from class and your bestie has already made dinner because she knew you were gonna be tired. Or maybe your roommate brings you your binder at nine in the morning because you forgot it at home and they don’t have class until one.

6. You have a shoulder to cry on when needed

College is rough and sometimes we all need to cry it out. I know that I can have a breakdown and my roomies will immediately try and make me feel better. School, life and everything else gets hard—don't go through it alone.

7. You learn a LOT about each other

I have learned many things I wanted to know and many that I didn’t need to know about my best friends by living with them. But all these weird and funny quirks that they have make me love them that much more (I’m sure they think I’m just as crazy as they are).

8. You hold each other accountable

One thing that I love about living with my best friends is that they keep me on track. If I’m procrastinating, or vice versa, we call each other out to get it done. Sundays are homework days and we all sit together at the table blasting random throwbacks, having dance parties, all while managing to finish our homework.

Ultimately, living with my best friends couldn’t be more fun. I know that they will always push me to be the best version of myself and have my back. So why not take a chance and room with your bestie? It might be the best decision you ever make.

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.
