10 Ways To Avoid Pissing Off Your Roommates
Anna Florczak

Are first impressions too nerve-racking for you? Think you're not a nice enough person? Trying to establish a closer friendship with your roomies? Say no more, and if you didn't say anything at all, just listen. You've come to the right place for advice because I'll teach you everything you need to know on how to be the best person to live with.

1. Hide all of their shoes. Who doesn't love a fun game of hide-and-go-seek?

2. Put their lives in danger. Shout profanities at angry basketball players and invite Robitussin-seeking delinquents to your room and sure enough you'll have no ragrets.

3. Crank up the Christmas music year round... and if they happen to close their door, don't sweat it, that just means they want you to turn the volume up louder.

4. Prank call their parents and tell them their son is responsible for getting you pregnant. This is the ultimate way to nail a first impression from your in-laws. (wink wink)

5. Celebrate unheard of foreign holidays without them actually being aware of said holiday. Want a fun holiday to celebrate? Here's one: Åšmigus-dyngus day which is a Polish holiday dedicated to throwing water on people. Oh and don't tell your roommates about the holiday; that's what makes it all the more fun.

6. Nominate them for The Bachelor. Even if they may not believe in polygamy, give them a shot at possibly finding the love of their life.

7. Announce their relationship status to the entire campus. I know what you're thinking, "Won't that make them uncomfortable?". Absolutely not.

8. Keep them up at all hours of the night. Pffft who cares about homework and sleep? Amirite?

9. Invite the people they most despise for slumber parties and game nights. When they say they hate them that actually means they like them! Reverse psychology!

10. Execute the Strike System for whenever they misbehave. I don't think I'll elaborate on this one for the sake of not being reported...

Speaking from experience, this definitely deepens your friendship.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
