5 Lessons I've Learned Living With 7 Girls
Sarah Thompson

Living in a house with other girls can be tricky. Sharing one house with seven is a whole different ball game. And let me tell you, this is a ball game where the rules were probably explained a few times, but no one really paid attention to the rules away.

1. You will never be lonely... like.. ever

Yes, this has its pros and cons.

Trying to find alone time when you live with a thousand roommates can be extremely difficult. Alone time is essential if you enjoy living a sane life. But, constantly having a friend right down the hall or even in your same room is truly something else. You basically have a free therapist 24/7. And we all know we could use one of those.

2. What's mine is yours, and vise versa

Yes, sharing is taught at a young age when your mother yells at you to share your toys with the little kid next to you. But realistically, no one enjoys sharing. We buy certain clothes we like and sometimes letting a friend borrow your favorite jeans can be like pulling teeth, but you do it anyways. Same goes for food. Dude, who ate my f*cking cheese again?! Seriously though, let it go. It's really going to be okay.

3. Personality clashing.

Everyone is different in their own ways. This we know. So with that being said, you can assume that living with many girls in one house can sometimes go south and that assumption is not wrong.

You will definitely have your fair share of being pissed off at one of your roommates here and there. And that is totally normal. We're college students aka no one has any idea what they're doing. But that's also the beauty of it. We're all figuring this life sh*t out with one another, even if that entails stepping one each other's toes every once in a while. (or maybe more than every once in a while, oops)

4. A hot mess

Living on your own means not being told to clean up after yourself and we all know if you don't have to, why would you? (Or maybe that's just me? Idk.) Likewise, the house can become dirty real quick. Dishes are racking up in the sink, you haven't done laundry in two weeks, and there's most likely makeup left out all over your bathroom counter.

I mean hey, this is the only time you can live in filth and somehow get away with it so why not? You're also probably out of toilet paper because who's turn is it to buy some anyways?

But, after a few aggressive texts sent in the group chat, the job gets done! You're doing great sweetie.

5. It's actually the best thing ever

Yes, living with more roommates than even allowed on the lease has it's downside (besides being illegal) but, the positive aspects outweigh them all. You have all your best friends in one spot and honestly, that's more than enough.

Constant laughter, more than one shoulder to cry on (and let's be honest you need more than one because your one friend is already annoyed that your crying again), and several girls to balance out and speak life into you when you need it the most. If living with my best friends for the rest of my life is an option, please sign me up.

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.

Power of Love Letters

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.
