9 Humorous Truths About Having A College House
Kylie Knur

Going off to college is a big deal in and of itself. When you add in moving into your own house with friends things get even more crazy than you ever imagined. Your'e flooded with freedom and responsibility at the same time. This is a list of things you can likely relate to when you've moved out of your parents house into your very own.

1. Your parents expectations versus yours while you're looking for a house seem to be just a little bit different..

Mom says "this will do"

While this is more your speed & budget since you know... I'm in college

2. You've gone weeks maybe even months without mowing the lawn and thought everything was going to be okay...

Unfortunately you and the neighbor who happens to be a cute old man that lives through his perfectly cut grass are not on the same page with this landscaping. Life is busy as a college student.

3. Everything was fun and games until you realize all you have left to eat for dinner is a slice of cheese and a raz-ber-ita, and you have $0.20 left until next Friday.

4. "Mom, what temperature should I keep the house at to keep the bill under $26? Because that's all I've got."

You know calling mom and dad twice a day to ask questions way too well, you also know being broke pretty well. Like I said before... I'm a college student...

5.When you go home for breaks and your parents ask you to do chores you have to keep your cool.

6.When you have to call your parents and tell them you're out of money and pay day doesn't come for another week and a half.

"Honey what did you spend all of the money on?"

You really have no idea, but certainly not what it was supposed to be spent on.

7. You think since you have a full kitchen you'll turn into chef boyarrdee, well it's only true about 3 times a year.


8.Your roommates turn into your family

Being around them all the time actually doesn't get old. Anytime someone comes home there is excitement. You go almost everywhere together.

9.You appreciate your mom and dad more for everything they do when you are away, and realize some of the responsibilities that came with the house you never even thought of.

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.
