For some of us, coming to college was the first time we ever had to share a room. It was a big change, but a fun one. As you meet more and more people over the course of your college career, it seems to be a pattern that you will at some point have that one friend that doesn't live with you, but acts like they do. We call those people, "Honorary Roommates" and here are 11 signs you have one in your life.


You come home and they're already in your room.

Your door wasn't open. You've been gone all day. Nice to see you too, I guess.

They help themselves to all your food.

That leftover pizza you thought was in you fridge has somehow magically disappeared.

Your clothes are their clothes.

"I'm borrowing this."

They've requested their own space in your closet.

Of course, because college has ample space for everyone.

People are shocked when they find out you're not roommates.

Wait, does she even live in this building?

They've added their name to your door.

Squad goals, am I right?

Sometimes they sleep in your bed even though they have their own.

Note to self: twin dorm beds are not ideal for sleepovers.

They never knock.

Yeah, go ahead, come on in.

They leave their miscellaneous items all over your room while you and your actual roommate wonder who's stuff it is...

Some of the Schmidt's jar.

"Is this yours?" "No..."

Sometimes they follow you into the bathroom while you shower so they can talk to you.

The more the merrier, right?

No matter how much they're in your space, you wouldn't have it any other way.

To my honorary roommate, I wouldn't trade you for the world. You're always welcome to eat my food, wear my clothes, and even talk to me while I shower.

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.

11 Things We Learned From Brooke Davis

"What's more important? What we become or how we become it?"

Brooke Davis

"She was fiercely independent, Brooke Davis. Brilliant, and beautiful, and brave. In two years she had grown more than anyone I had ever known. Brooke Davis is going to change the world someday, and I'm not sure she even knows it." - Lucas Scott, An Unkindness of Ravens

Brooke Davis of the hit show One Tree Hill was the it girl - she had it all, or so we thought. She started out as a stuck-up, shallow, spoiled, head cheerleader who didn't have her life together. She slept around a lot and loved to party - sounds like your typical high school teenager right? Wrong. B. Davis had so much more to offer. Caring, loyal, and outspoken, she has taught us some valuable lessons throughout the 9 seasons that OTH was on the air:
