Your Roommates As Told By Friends

Relatable circumstances that the television show will reveal about your roommates and you.

Your Roommates As Told By Friends
Vivid Screen

Your roommates are your family in one sense - your crazy, awkward, unpredictable family. You share laughable moments, heart to hearts, relentless arguments, and insufferable heartbreaks together. It's like having a bunch of sisters or brothers under the same roof. Yet, all of you can relate to inside jokes included in your little group of roommates.

In many ways it makes you feel like you are reliving an episode of Friends, and you feel a little excited that if your life inside the house or place you share with your roommates was a show, it would be just as popular as the classic.

A few we all (who have these interesting roommates) could relate to in some way to the classic T.V. show, Friends:

1. The One with All the Boy Problems

There's always that one with all the problems that start and end in her love life. And though a few of you had warned her about this boy or the other, she took the jump anyways, knowing she could fall back on you all. Yet, as she sits and scrolls through her phone, being a complete tinderella, you all know it's coming back in the same way it always does. A bunch of awko tacos and lots of tissues for rejections.

2. The One Who is a Little Too OCD

Of course, there has to be a Monica, right? Who else would keep us all in line with our already hectic lives? We can always count on them to be there to tell us it's time for Susie to clean the shower or for Lily to take out the trash (which is a horrid smack to reality when you have to leave the warmth of the heater and into this wicked cold that the north has to face). But, without her, we would probably be living in a toxic environment.

3. The One That Speaks Words of Wisdom Through the Strangest References

Otherwise known as Joey from Friends, and if you tell me that you have never had a Joey, then wow! You clearly have not lived. I mean, without this roommate, you would never cherish the moments you share. Every thing that happens in your life will be given to you in the most direct, yet clearly not related in any sense kind of way. The most unusual statements always end up making great phrases to live by.

4. The Really Smart One

Sometimes she seems out of it as she takes things too literally, but it'll eventually seep through the overworked brain cells. She usually knows a little too much more than everyone else, and it will get on everyone's nerves about her knowledge on everything. But you cannot help loving her passion to learn and reciprocate the learning experience for everyone. Plus, who else can make you feel really bad for eating late at night by explaining the side effects of your decision?

5. The Comforting One

Of course with everything going on, you need someone to fall back on. Someone that holds the house together, taking the role of almost a loving mother. Whether it be arguments that arise or personal problems, she will be the one to fix it. No one can hate this person, it is almost like she is the sole loved soul in the group.

6. The Crazy One

The crazy one is where all the fun is at, alongside the comforting one, she usually is more loved as she always has the crazy fun moments to cherish. She will be the one to suggest a late night food run, or to suggest a night out clubbing to forget your woes and worries.

Either way, without any of your roomies, you would probably not know what to do. The biggest inside joke of them all is how you ended up together and still alive through all the tales of adventure. And much like our beloved T.V. show Friends, you don't know what you would do without them blessing your life with their antics.

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.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
