Sharing your room could get annoying, and truthfully no sane individual actually volunteers to give up their own space just to share with their sibling.You may love them and all, but the struggles of sharing a room with them are hard to bare especially when you both are in your early twenties.

It's safe to admit that as you grow, so do these nine struggles.

1. Getting used to your own room, only to have it taken away.

getting your own room is like winning the lottery because you don't have to deal with the little annoyances brought on by your sibling.however, don't get too cozy because as soon as school ends you no longer have this luxury and are forced back into a split room.

2.Twice the mess when you both come back from break.

unfortunately, their mess becomes your mess, and when it's double the mess it takes forever to sort it all out. Two messes aren't better than one

3. Bottles replace your toys.

As you become older you become legally able to drink ,and you begin to hoard bottles that end up taking up most of your desk.

4. You basically have two sets of wardrobe.

you get a one-way ticket to each other's closet and therefore your things become hers or vice verse and you realize that you both need to compromise on storage space

5. You develop different design tastes.

as time changes so does the decore and you both will never agree on wall color schemes so it's best if you settle compromise in advance

6. The struggle not to wake the other up when you stumble home from the bars.

Either your sleep schedules need to sync up or By This point , you should just expect to be woken up whenever you wish to sleep.

7. You need to watch Netflix with your headphones in.

If they want to sleep but you aren't tired and don't wish to migrate to the tv room or basement you are forced to watch Netflix with headphones in so you don't disturb sleeping beauty.

8. A clean room is never obtainable

it seems like as soon as one of you puts something on your floor a huge domino effect occurs and then suddenly your room looks like a bomb went off. and then when you get the motivation to clean both sides it somehow gets messy all over again so you just accept the fact that having a clean room is utterly impossible.

9. When going back to school it's highly likely your things would get mixed up.

half a room isn't enough, and no matter how big the room there isn't any space to fit both of your stuff so you're forced to throw it all together, therefore, your favorite pair of leggings will go for a trip back to school with your sister.


The important thing to remember is, although sharing your room could be a huge pain, you develope a strong bond being two feet away.

I've known you your entire life. More than likely I held you in the first three days of it and at least one of us cried. Cousins are truly one of the best things in the world and while sometimes I complain about how many people crowd Grandma's living room on Christmas Eve, I wouldn't trade you all anything.

You are my best friends, the only people who can understand what it's like on Thanksgiving, and you are the spunkiest people I have ever met. But you as so so young, most of you are just now starting your adventures in the public education system. I mean, I'm so very young too. I'm not married, I don't have children, heck, I just started my adult life, but I do want to give you what little advice I have. My dears, these are the things I want you to know.

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.
