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

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
