8 Things You'll Miss About Your College Roommate

Cause your roomie is your best friend.

We all have to share our spaces with someone (or multiple people), and with close proximity comes bonding that you just can't get otherwise. Your roommate(s) is your confidante, your go-to, your ride or die, and whatever else you could call a super close, live-in best friend. It'll be weird to adjust to living without them after graduation. Here are just a few things you'll end up missing:

1. Having someone to go anywhere with you

If you want Starbucks or Chipotle, you can count on them to be along for the ride.

2. Venting sessions

Sad over a boy? Fail your exam? Get in a fight with your mom? Your roommate's there to hear about all of it.

3. Netflix and cuddling

Because if you can't sit home on a Friday night to watch Gilmore Girls and eat junk food with your roomie, who can you do it with? No one, that's who.

4. Decorating/furnishing your apartment

Even if that just means hanging up some lights and a few old posters, you make it your own.

5. An always available support system

Need I say more?

6. Having a perpetual sleepover

You can have ice cream and wine any night of the week, and it's acceptable because you're technically always having a "sleepover", right?

7. Making questionable decisions too often

Refer back to #6.

8. A best friend

At the end of the day, your roommate is your best friend. And even if you know you won't be seeing them as much after graduation, you know you'll have countless memories to look back on and even more to make in the future.

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?

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.
