Things My Roommate Has Said in Real Life

These all really happened. No exaggeration.

Things My Roommate Has Said in Real Life
Kalee George

My roommate Krista, has said some ridiculous things over the years I've known her, so I thought I would share some of the craziness with others.

"Yeah, those twins are platonic."

Krista was explaining that Ashton Kutcher and his twin look nothing alike, and this is what came out of her mouth.

"The opposite of bread is soup."

Foolishly out of curiosity I mused on what the opposite of bread would be. Without missing a beat, she replied "soup." There was no reason as to why.


"I am a GENIOUS."

She was really trying, but spelling is hard.

"I could be a spy."

This was in reference to the fact that while driving a van with another van, she was able to keep track of the other van from in front of them. There was no explanation before she decided to just say this out loud.

"Because I am cold."

Sure, this seems normal out of context, but this was her response to "Why are you wearing napkins on your legs?"

"A snapback is a response to a Snapchat, right?"

She was confused.

"Josh is in place, Fireplace.

While assistant stage managing Extremities, Krista was to inform the stage manager that all actors were "in place." The actor Josh's place just happened to be in a fireplace. She thinks that she is funny.


"I know I almost lost my thumb today, but if I had broken my iPod, that would have been the worst thing that happened to me today."

She had cut her thumb on a table saw, and also dropped her iPod in the same day. This was in 2015 and she was still using an iPod.

"My hair is so soft."

This had as much context as when she decided to say this.

"Did you know that 50% of people with British accents aren't actually British; they are just trying to sound fancy."

Again, no context. This was just said out loud.

"I didn't know you couldn't use the microwave as a timer."

She ran the microwave with nothing in it because she is actively trying to murder me.


"I hate parades.

This is one of the first things she ever said to me. I will never forget it.

Despite all this, I have lived with her for almost two years. It should be noted,however, that we are not friends on Facebook.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.
