5 Things I've Learned From Living With 5 Other Girls

This year my 5 best friends and I embarked on the journey of moving into our cute home altogether. This journey had been a long time coming considering we had decided on this living situation in October of our freshman year.

Living with this group of girls has been such a blessing to me and has taught me not only more about myself but even more about them! We have gotten closer, grown together, and made our house a home. We have had countless laughs and some cries, but we have supported each other throughout the process and have truly become a family.

Living with girls brings a whole lot to the table. I have learned more than I thought possible from my roommates, so with this in mind, here are 5 things I have learned from living with my girl gang:)

1. We all have started to talk the same way.

I am 100% someone who picks up and adapts to the people I am around. This has definitely been the circumstance living with 5 other girls. Eventually, we have all started saying the same phrases, using the same language, and talking in inside jokes. We all seem to hear a phrase and run with it and for some time it is all our house will be saying, but it makes things funnier and makes all the more similar

2. Hair

My roommates and I seem to have a whole lot of hair between the 6 of us. It's quite inevitable that living with a house of girls means hair being everywhere. At this point, it does not seem to even phase any of us. As a blonde I'll look down and notice brown hair on my sweater and it will just make me laugh thinking about my roommates and all the poor hair that has been lost in our home; just part of being girls I guess:)

3. Need medicine? Shampoo? Someone's got it.

Our house is almost like our own personal drug store. Between the 6 of us, we pretty much own any medicine under the sun and can be there in a split second when one of us runs out of something. Game days were always my favorite when we all got ready together and swapped makeup, clothes, lipstick; all the girly things

4. Girls LOVE sweets.

My house has got a pretty bad sweet tooth. We love all the sweets and are always down for milkshake dates. Definitely thankful to have roommates that appreciate some ice cream as much as I do

5. Dance parties. Any time. Any day.

We love a good sing-a-long and dance party at our home. My roommates are the funniest dancers and never fail to brighten my day when we jam out to some throwback songs.

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.
