Whether you've known each other since freshman year or you've just met, we all have a long list of things we should thank our roommate for. We know ourselves all too well, but we have to admit that our roommates know us better than anyone else. Here is a small list of some things that we should take some time to thank our roommates for.

1. Dealing with my emotional self

From failing a test to PMS, you've been there through it all. Thank you for listening to me cry for no reason or vent when I've had an awful day. Thank you for never judging me even when it may be easy to. I may be a lot to handle, but you never show how much effort it takes.

2. Late night talks

Whether it's just when were getting into bed or into the early hours of the morning, thank you for the uncontrollable laughs in the dark and the silence and advice when I need it. Our conversation may not always make sense, but we do enjoy them.

3. Sharing your things

Thank you for giving me the perfect top to complete my outfit for a night out or a great lipgloss to put the finishing tops on my makeup look. You always have what I need and you're always coming in clutch.

4. Study dates

Whether we're cramming the night before an exam or weeks in advance, you always push me to do my best. You know when to push me to study a little bit longer or to stop and give my mind a break. Thank you for being okay with me having the light on in the late hours of the night.

5. For being as OCD as me

Thank you for being as obsessed as I am with cleaning. Thank you for doing dishes with me just for fun or going to the store to get Clorox wipes and other cleaning items.

6. Movie night

Thank you for understanding the lazy day feeling we all get once in a while, or for me, way too often. Thank you for watching endless episodes of "The League", or "New Girl", or watching endless re-runs of "Pride and Prejudice." I don't regret those 80s movie nights with our Chipotle burrito bowls one bit.

7. Thank you for being my kind of crazy

Thank you for laughing at my dumb jokes that don't make sense and the ones that flat out stink. I know I am a lot to handle, but thank you for choosing to deal with me.

Alex, you've been a real trooper for two and a half years. Love ya, girly.
