Why You Should Always Live With Your Best Friends

If the opportunity comes up, do not let it go.

Why You Should Always Live With Your Best Friends
Madalyn Norton

Living with your best friends is an amazing opportunity. One that you will probably not get the chance to do again so take advantage of it while you can.

I live in a house in Lexington that is right off of campus. It's kind of reminds me of the dogs that everyone refers to as "ugly cute". When you first see it, it is hideous, but if you squint your eyes until they are closed it is kind of cute, in a way.

While my house may not be the best on the outside, it is the inside of the house that makes it so special. And by the inside I am not referring to the interior architecture, that's not any better from the outside, I am talking about the amazing girls that live in my house.

I live with seven of the most amazing girls I have ever met and I am not sure how I could do college without them.

Their names are Molly, Jane, Carly, Maddie, Heather, Hannah, and Taylor.

They allow my life to constantly be filled with energy, crazy stories and lots and lots of laughter. While we all get along well, the one thing that makes our friendship work so well is how different we all are.

Molly is a broadcast journalism major and she is the stylist of the house, she has her own fashion blog, wants to be a sports broadcaster one day. She loves to take photos and videos and is our social media queen.

Janie is the hard-worker. I have never met someone who can do so many things in one day. From working two jobs to studying at the library she is constantly on the go and makes it look easy.

Carly is the laid back one of the house. Coming from someone who is always uptight and stressing, I envy her. She seems to always be able to find a way to make things seem okay.

Maddie is the confident one. It does not matter what life throws at her she always comes out on top and is rarely flustered by the issues she faces.

Heather is the carefree one. If I could trade traits with anyone in the house I think it would be her. I am the anxious one in the house and Heather is always level headed and optimistic.

Hannah is the spontaneous one. She is always down for an adventure, whether it is to another state or just to see if the ice cream machine at McDonald's is working you can always count her in to join you.

And lastly there's Taylor, or T, she is the mature one of the house. The one who has her life together. Somehow she is able to balance academics and a social life flawlessly.

Living with your best friends has its own problems but they are nothing when compared to the fact that the person asleep in the bed next to yours will be there for you no matter what.

Having so many different personalities in a house could cause chaos but for us, it is a perfect mix.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. 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.

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
