The 10 Types Of College Roommates You Will Meet
Glamour

1. The one who sleeps a lot

They're already asleep when you're getting ready for bed, and they're asleep when you get back from class. You're not sure when they get any work done or if they've even made it out of bed and to that day's class.

2. The one who never sleeps

This is probably also the roommate who has binge-watched an entire series on Netflix since returning to school. Who else has the time to do that and all the schoolwork we get? You're kinda envious (OK, really envious) that they can manage with such little sleep.

3. The neat freak

You can't live with them, and you can't live without them. When you walk in your room and throw your stuff all over, your roommate is right there behind you picking up your belongings. But she's always there with a never ending supply of paper towels.

4. The slob

Once again, you can't live with them and you can't live without them. It's fine if they're messy, as long as it stays in their section. Once it overflows into yours, you become the neat freak.

5. The one who knows everyone

You can't walk more than five steps without them stopping to say hi to someone, which then leads to a whole conversation. You have to awkwardly wait for them to wrap up their conversation before you can walk another five feet them to see someone else they know.

6. The one who is super involved

You never see this roommate. They went to the activities fair and signed up for every table they stopped at. When someone asks where they are, you honestly can't answer.

7. The procrastinator

It's midnight, and they're just sitting down at their desk to start their assignment due at 8 a.m. And you know this will probably result in a mental/emotional breakdown an hour later. You just keep their distance and let them do their thing.

8. The partier

No matter what day of the week it is or what time of the day it is, this roommate is ready to go out. They have a 9 a.m. class the next morning and they don't care. You definitely spend a decent amount of time worrying about their sanity.

9. The roommate who is not really your roommate

They're usually someone's friend from home or a current roommates old roommate. But regardless of who they are, they're welcomed with open arms. You can usually find them sprawled out on the floor or in someone's bed. You wonder how long before they just move in.

10. Your best friend(s)

No matter what type of roommate you have, hopefully, they're also your best friend(s). There's no better bonding then living with each other.

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.

11 Things We Learned From Brooke Davis

"What's more important? What we become or how we become it?"

Brooke Davis

"She was fiercely independent, Brooke Davis. Brilliant, and beautiful, and brave. In two years she had grown more than anyone I had ever known. Brooke Davis is going to change the world someday, and I'm not sure she even knows it." - Lucas Scott, An Unkindness of Ravens

Brooke Davis of the hit show One Tree Hill was the it girl - she had it all, or so we thought. She started out as a stuck-up, shallow, spoiled, head cheerleader who didn't have her life together. She slept around a lot and loved to party - sounds like your typical high school teenager right? Wrong. B. Davis had so much more to offer. Caring, loyal, and outspoken, she has taught us some valuable lessons throughout the 9 seasons that OTH was on the air:
