How You Know Your Roommate Is Also Your Soulmate

Sometimes, it's just meant to be.

1. You take the same amount of time to get ready...but it's not a problem

Whether it's getting ready to go out for the night or for the day, you never have a problem because you were meant to be together. While you shower, she picks out her outfit. While you do your hair, she does her make up. No matter what, you are done at the exact same time. No awkwardly waiting around for you

2. You understand each other's bad days

Sometimes your roommate needs her space, and sometimes you do too. You know each other so well that words aren't usually necessary in determining when to leave each other alone. A simple look will do. Alternatively, you know when your roommate wants someone around, and are always more than willing to drop plans to stay with them because you know they'd do the same for you.

3. You know EVERYTHING about each other

You know every detail about their life and they also know everything about you. From childhood friends to pet peeves, people they've had a drunk encounter with to their favorite songs. You name it, you know it. With all the good also comes all the awkward, meaning you know when they have a weird poop or a weird scratch shows up in a normally hidden place.

4. Privacy doesn't exist

You also see everything as well as knowing everything. Any conversation you have, they overhear whether they want to or not. If you have someone over, they know. You've peed together, used the bathroom while they've showered, changed in front of each other countless times, and so much more because boundaries really don't exist anymore.

5. You couldn't imagine living with anyone else

Sure, they get annoying. But at the end of the day you wouldn't trade them for anyone else. You'd follow them anywhere they want to go, and they'd do the same for you. Because you were meant to be together, and life without them just isn't the same.

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?

Happy Birthday Cake

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.
