What It's (Really) Like to Live With All Guys

I'm Your Modern Day Lucy

What It's (Really) Like to Live With All Guys
New Girl

Yes, I was "that" girl. The one who when asked who she's living with next year, listed off a bunch of male names and then was told I was insane. I shook it off, thinking it really wouldn't be that bad, right?

Wrong.

Granted, I love my boys. I wouldn't trade them for anything. They keep my life insanely interesting. But it's not always rainbows and smiles.

Coming to think of it I'm the equivalent of a modern day Lucy. Top Notch housewife at it's finest.

1. Cleaning

Cleaning is something I enjoy. Every now and then I'll get in the mood to just clean the heck out of my house. But I've also come to realize just how gross boys can actually be *insert upside down smiley face*

2. Gaming

I'm basically a pro at playing COD and Far Cry. Even though I was never actually allowed to play... And had to beg them to let me watch just to spend time with them...

3. Wing-Girl

I've become a pro at being the best wingman around. You can pay me for my services in Toppers Pizza.

4. Showers

THEY TAKE LONGER SHOWERS THAN I DO AND IT'S RIDICULOUS. I just don't understand why you're in there for 30 minutes, when I'm in and out in 5? Are you watching football?

5. Food

No food is safe. Even if you write your name on it, if they see it and it's gone. The amount of corn dogs that I have missed out on, is so saddening. I also have a hungover delivery service. They're welcome.

6. Relationships

Being the only girl in the house you can bet I have a pretty open relationship with everyone. It may come off a little odd to some, but for the most part, I love my boys. I usually forget that only boys live with me, and walk around in my towel. At this point, they just expect it.

7. Girls.

Probably the worst part of living in a house with guys. I'm literally Jess from New Girl and Nick lives upstairs.

8. Parties

Living in a house with all boys is bad enough. Now adding the fact that they love to drink 9 times a week and party hardy. I promise it makes it just ever so slightly more difficult. But hey, it gives me something to write about.

9. Drunken Nights.

My least and favorite memories of this house. The amount of times I have been woken up at 2:20am to the beasts roaming the house for drunchies and stomping the stairs never ceases to amaze me. Like can we not walk on our heels sir? Sweet. Thxxx.

10. Clothes

I can always find a comfy sweatshirt laying around that I'm able to steal and wear while I binge watch Pretty Little Liars. But when it comes to asking for help on my wardrobe before a night out, let's just say they've gotten better at matching colors together. And that yes, I can wear a sweatshirt and leggings to the bar and still look pretty damn good.

11. Helping A Sister in Need

I always have someone who will pretend to be my boyfriend for the night to get some creep off of me. Granted they hate doing it, but they go with it. #Blessed

12. Cooking

I've learned that when cooking a nice meal for myself, I might as well cook for 6 others. Even though there's only 4 of us that live there.

13. Quiet Time

Oh, the lovely sound of silence... Or the lovely sound I hear before I get beaten with a pillow or strangled with a lanyard. How nice? But really, quiet time is extremely valued. Seeing as once one of them comes home it sounds like a velociraptor is walking around the house.

14. Man Things

They have tool boxes and muscles to open the jelly jar. So they really do come in handy.

15. New Hobbies

I have found a love for trailing behind them as they disc golf. It's actually extremely relaxing.

16. The Bathroom

Accepting the fact that the toilet seat will always be up...

17. TV

If you're watching something that doesn't involve things being blown up or extreme violence, you can bet it'll be changed as soon as they walk in.

18. Fixing Things

My goodness they don't know how to put away a freakin dish. But they do know how to fix the door that fell off the hinges. So that counts for something.

19. Knocking.

ALWAYS. KNOCK. Must I say more?

20. One of These Things Doesn't Belong

Please tell me how the keys are in the freezer and there's a dead mouse on the living room floor? Also, since when did the butcher knife get stabbed into the wall in the kitchen?

21. Jokes

Although they sometimes joke too much, and push the limits a bit, there's always a reason to laugh in the house, and laughter really is the best medicine.


I may hate them 99.99% of the time (some more than others at times) but I wouldn't trade living with these 3 amazing men for anything. Love them sometimes hate them always.

xoxo,

Your favorite roommate.

One of my biggest pet peeves is when someone does not try to help their self before asking others. How can someone else be expected to help you if you do not first do that yourself? I'm all about helping those that need it when the time comes, however whenever someone does not even attempt to help him or herself first then that becomes a huge problem. As we all have learned, people tend to take advantage of us in one way or another. I am sure we all read this short story when we were younger and it follows that same principle:
