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.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.
