Signs You And Your Roomie May Be TOO Close

Is there really such a thing?

Signs You And Your Roomie May Be TOO Close
Taylor Martinek

We've all heard the horror stories. The stories about the roommate from hell that wears your clothes and eats your food. The roommate that stays up too late and constantly has people in the room. But for every one of these roommates, there are good roommates. At the same time, how close is too close?

You dress each other

Her fashion sense is just so much better than yours.

You're not sure whose clothes are who's

So you didn't see your roommate before you left for class. Suddenly she shows up at lunch wearing your shirt. Do you care? No. You're wearing her sweatshirt.

All food is up for grabs

Anything you don't want her to have better be hidden well. If I see it, I eat it!

You have so many inside jokes.

Other friends usually stop listening when you two start using inside jokes in your conversation. I guess you just had to be there.

The only time you spend apart is in class

Hands down the longest hours of the day.

When they leave for the weekend and you realize you have no other friends

You may think you have other friends, until you are watching Netflix alone in your room waiting for your roommate to get home.

You are associated together

You constantly refer to you and your roommate as we, and so does everyone else.

If one goes, both go

No need to invite both of you, and invite to one is an invite for both.

There is no such thing as personal boundaries

You know all of her relationship, personal, and family issues and have helped her solve many problems. Your room is a safe zone where everything is tolerated and judgement is not allowed. Of course, you could never judge her, she knows all of your secrets too!

You couldn't imagine life with anyone else.

At the end of the day, she is your best friend, and what's better than living with your best friend?

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

The 5 Painfully True Stages Of Camping Out At The Library

For those long nights that turn into mornings when the struggle is real.

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
