16 Abnormal Apartment Things That Become Normal In Your Senior Year Of College

Renee Kennedy

We're right on the verge of being independent adults but sometimes we just refuse to grow up. Since the first day of our senior year, my roommates and I have been in constant denial that we will ever have to graduate and face reality. As the year quickly comes to an end, I've had time to reflect on all of the weird things that have gone on in our apartment.

These are 16 of them and I'm sure we're not the only ones with a wild story.

1. Photoshop happens, way too often.

Renee Kennedy

This one in particular was a masterpiece.

2. One roommate believes they're good at gymnastics and decides to practice on the kitchen floor

Renee Kennedy

This ended with some bruises...

3. The other roommate goes down, hard, on the kitchen floor

Renee Kennedy

... as did this one

4. Too many roommates in one bed, usually results in a broken bed

Renee Kennedy

Too many roommates in a king bed did not end so well.

5. One roommate decides she's religious

Renee Kennedy

This was a shocker to all of us.

6. The same roommate then comes home accompanied by five paramedics and two police officers

Renee Kennedy

Which ended in me signing as the sober guardian.

7. The roommates clean up their act because one of the roommates' parents come to visit

Renee Kennedy

Just three innocent angels

8. The two most mathematically challenged roommates attempt to plan a school trip

Renee Kennedy

Counting was not exactly our strong suit.

9. Wigs happen

Renee Kennedy

Handling money is way more fun while wearing a wig, you should try it.

10. The roommates become The Incredibles

Renee Kennedy

Nothing like homemade costumes.

11. The roommates attempt to dye their own hair

Renee Kennedy

Honestly it came out pretty good, aside from a little hair loss.

12. One roommate takes a trip to the ER

Renee Kennedy

... and eight stitches later.

13. The roommates clean the apartment (rare)

Renee Kennedy

One of three times our apartment has ever been clean.

14. One roommate believes she can fly

Renee Kennedy

Goes sky diving once

15. Banana suits also happen

Renee Kennedy

I'm not sure what to say about this photo.

16. The roommates then make a viral video of their adventures to conclude their senior year

Renee Kennedy

Premium content, if I do say so myself.

It would be so much easier to just pay someone to do it for you

1. Figuring out when to start

2. Searching through list after list to get everything you need

3. Shopping for deals

4. Getting bins to put everything in

5. Figuring what you can’t live without

6. Going through clothes to find what you need

7. Finding out your siblings took something from you

8. Fighting with your parents.

9. Trying to plan things with your roommate

10. The fear of forgetting something

11. Move in day

Relatable moments from one of the best shows I have ever watched.

1. When you fail that midterm you studied so hard for.

2. When your crush finally texts back.

3. When payday comes around.

4. When you accidentally like someone's picture from 108 weeks ago.

5. When someone takes your unassigned assigned seat.

6. When your favorite character in your favorite TV series dies.

7. When that guy/girl you’ve been crushing on agrees to go on a date with you.

8. When you have so much to do, and such little motivation to do it.

9. When someone asks for your last fry.

10. When you try a new health-food craze.

11. When you get new clothing.

12. When you check your bank account.

13. When they're serving good food in the dining hall.

14. When someone tries to tell you what to do.

15. Or just your thoughts about life in general.

We all have that "I don't care" attitude.

1. Most students just take life day by day.

2. That means procrastinating, one day at a time.

3. College students don't mind dressing like crap sometimes.

4. In fact, dressing nice feels weird.

5. College students get so stressed that they contemplate dropping on a daily basis.

6. But most find another solution to deal with that stress.

7. And that solution can be pretty cheap. Anything over $5 is expensive.

8. One of the only things college students will spend money on is coffee.

9. College is just really expensive and you never forget how expensive it is.

10. But hey, we're getting a somewhat high-quality education, right?

11. We all really just want to pet dogs all day.

12. And eat pizza for every meal.

13. And stab the next person who asks us what we want to do with our life.

14. However, despite the stress and student loans, college is amazing and there's plenty of reasons to smile.

Thank you, April, for inspiring us with your wicked relatability.

Girls; they're notoriously late.

1. You spontaneously tried a new hairstyle....that you hated

2. You tried on 20 different outfits

3. You stabbed your eye with your mascara

4. You got caught stuck in bed checking social media

5. You were trying to impress someone

6. You forgot to check the weather

7. You just don't mind being THAT girl

8. You decided to wear shorts and realize you have to shave your legs

9. Your bed was just too warm compared to the Antarctic weather outside

10. You debated too long on skipping class

11. Your roommate steals the shower before you

12. You're rewarding yourself for being on time last week

13. You overslept your alarm

Living in the dorms can tear down your immune system.
