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?
