How To Lose A Roommate In 10 Days

In This Article:

Roommates typically go one of two ways: either you're "best friends for life" and putting them down as a bridesmaid in your wedding, or you're constantly arguing over who left the dishes out in the sink for three days.

But, in some circumstances, you're "best friends for life" until you realize that living with them is a complete pain in the ass. You find yourself thinking, "Wow, who knew they could be like this?" And then, you begin the process to move out just a few days later.

I have had a very unique experience when it comes to roommates, in a good and bad way. Out of all the crazy experiences my friends, family and I have had, I decided to compile a list of things that would cause you to lose a roommate in 10 days.

Day 1. When they are ready to go to sleep, invite 12 people over to party in your room!

Cause, you know, everyone is down for a dorm room crammed with 12 people when they are trying to sleep

Day 2. Wear a Harry Potter cape and insist your name is "Katniss" from the Hunger Games.

They could be the Ron to your Harry!

Day 3. Use their pan to fry something, but don't worry about washing it, just let it sit on the stove for a few days.

I mean they'll clean it in a few days...it is their pan after all!

Day 4. When they have to wake up at five to study for an exam, make sure to watch a movie on full volume...without headphones...make sure there is commentary.

Make sure to laugh REALLY hard when the funny part comes on!

Day 5. While they are trying to sleep, make yourself dinner, eat it in bed. But, you've got to make sure to scrape your fork against the plate.

You just have to make sure that every last bite is gone!

Day 6. Respond to everything--absolutely everything--sarcastically.

You're being sarcastic, so it's not fair if they get their feelings hurt, right?

Day 7. Cry when they confront you.

They can't be mad at you when you're crying! That's just heartless!

Day 8. No matter what they are telling you, turn it all around to be about you.

Because everything has to be about you, other than that, it's ridiculous.

Day 9. Always have a problem with something they are doing, but NEVER talk to them about it.

Because "there are already too many problems"

Day 10. After they've cleaned the room--completely spotless--make it as dirty as you possibly can!

Honestly, you're doing them a favor! Especially since they like cleaning so much!

As you can see, all of us have endured some pretty crazy situations with our roommates. Not everyone is lucky enough to get a best friend the first time around; it may take two or three tries to figure out the right fit!

Just like Andie proved with Ben, it is very possible to run someone out in 10 days! Trust me, if you do all 10 of these things, they will be packed and running for the hills faster than you could say, "Yucky, yucky pizza! Yummy, yummy cucumber sandwich!"

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Take the time to thank that one friend in your life you will never let go of.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Everybody gets sick once in a while, but getting sick while in college is the absolute worst. You're away from home and your mom who can take care of you and all you really want to do is just be in your own bed. You feel like you will have never-ending classwork to catch up on if you miss class, so you end up going sick and then it just takes longer to get better. Being sick in college is really tough and definitely not a fun experience. Here are the 15 stages that everyone ends up going through when they are sick at college.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
