Being a girl, living with three guys and another girl was really ideal for me. I didn’t have to worry about being on my own or living in another residence hall. I have found that still; living with men is a very different experience than just being home with your dad or even brother. It honestly is fun and a little bit ridiculous at the same time. Here are some things I have found out to be true (at least with my roommates) by living with a few guys in college.
They are so loud no matter what time of day it is.
It could be because of a football game or even a video game. Whatever the case is, my roommates love to be loud. I get it, any sporting event can be cause for a yelling celebration. But when my bedroom is right above the living room, it’s hard to continue studying without wondering what all the commotion is about. But I can’t be bias, because if I'm downstairs with them I can be equally as loud. Just give me my weekends to sleep please!
They think they are hilarious.
Even though they really can be, sometimes I am in sheer awe of what comes out of my roommate’s mouths. It either completely cracks me up, or just I end up confused or shocked.
They never give you a straight answer to ANYTHING.
Okay I probably over exaggerated this for the majority, but whenever I ask my roommates a serious questions, nine out of ten times I will get, “none of your business." Or my personal favorite response to where they are going to eat, "A new Mexican restaurant called, Nacho Business." What even is that? I am all for joking around, but really, just answer my question!
They have their own secret language with each other.
They just get really weird with each other honestly. I would be lying if I didn't say it freaked me out a little. Sometimes all it takes is a confusing statement followed by sudden laughter that can be the most confusing thing in the world. It’s even worse when they know it bugs you that you don’t understand what they are talking about. Their inside jokes are seriously endless (and yes, it is killing me that I don’t know them!)
They can be pretty good motivators.
It can be weird, but they do know how to keep us all motivated in some strange way.
They are always there for you no matter what
They are basically like older brothers. They may bug you and pick on you, but they make college life better. Even though they can be a pain, I still really enjoy all of my roommates. And let's be honest, we all can be pretty weird when we are around each other.
