The 25 Types Of Roommates You Can Possibly Get Paired With In College

No matter where you live or where you attend school, the language of roommates is universal. Whether you found your future bridesmaid or your worst enemy, getting used to living with a complete stranger (or 3 strangers in my case) can get weird sometimes. Although we complain about them on the daily, our college experience just wouldn’t be the same without them.

From the roommates you never see to the ones you see too much, they all test our patience equally but we still manage to love them (at least most the time).

1. The one who actually doesn't live there

2. The one who lives there but is never home

3. The one who takes all your snacks

4. The one who you do everything with

5. The one who leaves their dishes in the sink

6. The one who pulls pranks with you

7. The one who acts like a mom

8. The one who always has a little too much

9. The one who always studies

10. The one who always sleeps

11. The one who leaves her hair in the sink

12. The one who never goes to class

13. The one who is passive aggressive

14. The one who is just plain weird

15. The one with the emotional support dog

16. The one obsessed with cats

17. The one who is a frat/sorority star

18. The one who is always too happy

19. The one who is always complaining

20. The one who is an overachiever

21. The hot one

22. The one who is too loud

23. The judgmental one

24. The one who always goes home

25. The one who is your friend soulmate

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.
