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.

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.
