Why Being Roommates In College Is Actually Like Being Married

I came to the realization the other day, that I am currently more committed to my college roommates then I have ever been to any boy. So committed in fact that I have been living with them for three years, and I have come to the conclusion that we are basically married. How did I come to this conclusion you may ask? Well the more I thought about it, the more reasons I found for why we resemble a married couple (even though there are three of us). And I honestly couldn't help but laugh at how obnoxious and awesome our roommate relationship is.

So give it a read! Are you married to your roommates too? Or is it just us?

Reason #1: We are obsessed with each other. (see all social media outlets for confirmation).

Reason #2: We can't go a single day without talking to each other, and often we are talking through more than one mean of communication. Varying from the 15 separate group chats we have to the endless interactions we are constantly a part of on social media.

Reason #3: We know each other's habits, the good and the bad. (including but not limited to setting 405893018 alarms, burping like a man, and leaving dishes in the sink five days too long).

Reason #4: We know each other's pet peeves. We also know to not commit any of these so-called "peeves" unless we want to face a potentially deadly wrath.

Reason #5: We have each other's orders (starbs, pizza, alcohol, etc.) memorized just like a good husband should.

Reason #6: We are really great at emotionally supporting each other through the hard times like finals week and hangovers.

Reason #7: We work as a team. My project becomes their project and vice versa. (I can't even tell you how many times we have made posters until midnight or how many balloons we have blown up for one another's events).

Reason #8: We are each other's biggest fans. Common phrases in our house include: "If I was a guy I would totally sleep with you," "You are a 10/10, I would recommend you," and "Wow! You are so nice to me"

Reason #9: We can read each other like a book.

Reason #10: We share everything. Everything: /evrēˌTHiNG/ (noun)- clothes, toothpaste, food, gum, chargers, secrets, alcohol, catchphrases, etc.

Reason #11: Personal space is honestly just not a thing.


Reason #12: In case you didn't already get this, we know way too much information about each other. (and we're taking all of it to the grave).

Reason #13: We already have a plan to live in a nursing home together when we're old.

Reason #14: And in the same culdesac when we are less old, but still old enough to actually own houses.

Reason #15: We say "goodnight, I love you" every night and wake each other up with coffee and emotionally supportive memes (most mornings).

Reason #16: We complete each other. Ex: I hate driving. My roommate drives so that I don't have an anxiety attack.

Reason #17: We are each other's best friends, and I wouldn't trade them for the whole wide world.

birthday party

My birthday has never been my favorite holiday. I've found that I'm more excited to celebrate my friends' and family members' birthdays more than my own. I don't like being the center of attention, so I usually celebrate over dinner with a small group of family and friends. This way, I can enjoy myself naturally without feeling like I have to entertain everyone and make sure they are satisfied. In the past when I've had large parties, I was so nervous that people weren't perfectly content that I didn't enjoy myself at my own celebration.

College Informations

Most of us have already started the spring semester, and for those of you who haven't started yet, you suck.

It seems like coming back from winter break wouldn't really be a break all things considered, since we all come back to school and pick up right where we left off. We know exactly what to expect, yet we're unprepared every single time.

I'm serious

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.

16 Secrets Anthropology Majors Never Admit To

You know that all of these things apply to you. You'll just never tell.

I'm an anthropology major, and I love every minute of it. I couldn't tell you why, but I guess there's just something about studying different lifestyles that absolutely fascinates me. But anthropology majors definitely have our weird sides, especially when you go to a school that is filled with mostly Business and Bio majors. But us weirdos definitely have a lot in common, specifically these 16 things.

pale girl

Everyone has insecurities, that's just a fact. You didn't ask to be born this way. You didn't ask to inherit the one trait no one else in your family has. And you definitely didn't ask to be this ghostly white. But as soon as you've learned to live with it for a while (less wrinkles later on in life, right? right???) someone has to ruin it for you. They have to flaunt they're perfectly tanned body from Spring Break and hold their sun-kissed skin against yours. But I've had enough... here are the things that perpetually pale individuals are tired of hearing.
