Pros and Cons of Having Female Roommates

The good, the bad.

Pros and Cons of Having Female Roommates
DLT Entertainment

I have spent the past two years living with female roommates, one of whom is my twin sister. There have been many interesting moments in our apartment, both good and bad. I have learned that the are many pros and cons concerning living with roommates of the opposite sex like always having a bounty of fresh baked goods (girls love to bake when they're going through boy problems, FYI). Here, a list of all the pros and cons that come with living with girls:

Pro: Food

There is almost always a fresh baked good in our apartment. My roommates love to cook and I love to eat, so it's very much a win-win.

Con: Lack of Groceries

My roommates go grocery shopping on the regular, but sometimes strictly for the food they plan to make from scratch. I will never turn down a homemade meal, but I also enjoy my typical college kid food. Would it kill you girls to buy some boxed mac n' cheese once in a while?

Pro: Cleanliness

Even when our apartment isn't messy my roommates will clean. I don't know if it's a hobby or a nervous habit, but I like it.

Con: Cleanliness

BUT I sometimes I feel like I committed a crime if I don't make my bed.

Pro: Freedom

My roommates usually go to their boyfriends' house to hang out, so I can often be found sitting on our couch with Netflix on my laptop and sports on the TV.

Con: I'm Outnumbered

On days when they're both at home, they love to watch certain TV shows and movies together, meaning I'm banished to my room. Sorry, but I'll pass on watching Sex and the City on repeat.

Pro: Boyfriends

There's a sense of relief knowing that there won't be any random guys in our apartment since they both have boyfriends.

Con: Boyfriends

My relationship with my roommates' boyfriends vary. Sometimes I'm fine when one or both of them are over, and sometimes I'm ready to knock them out. They have nothing to worry about, but I'm always watching.

Pro: I'm Ready for Life

Many years from now, I might be living with a special lady. My roommates have shown me what it is like to live with a woman and I'm thankful to have the training I will no doubt need.

Con: I'm Screwed When I Move Out

I carry my weight in our apartment, but it is nice to have people help me out. Eventually I will be on my own and I'm not quite ready for that. How do they make everything smell SO nice?

*Both of my roommates are probably going to grad school in the Dallas area, meanwhile I'll be in a different town broadcasting minor league baseball games, so this is our final year together. As much as living with female roommates constantly drives me nuts, I've loved every minute of it because it's nonstop entertainment.*

I've lived a whole 21 years with an RBF (Resting Bitch Face), so naturally, I go through most of these struggles on a daily basis.

And before you ask, yes I'm fine. No, I'm not mad. This is just my face, so take it or leave it! To those of you who have been #blessed with an RBF, you'll probably relate to these more than you'd like to:

Why Theater Kids Are the Greatest People Ever

Supportive and spontaneous human beings are the best.

Theater Kids

Throughout school, the theater department has always been my go-to place with go-to people when I need advice, a dance party, or just someone to listen to me vent.

You never know what's going to happen when you're dealing with theatre or what kind of characters you'll encounter. We have too much fun doing anything! One time in my senior year acting class, we spent an entire class period watching Bob's Burgers, and it was the greatest class period ever.
