What It's Like To Live With Your Best Friends

So this isn't the first time I've moved in with someone I know. I've only lived with one other person, but now I live with 3 other girls that I met a year ago. Living with these four girls (Kaitlyn, Alaina, and Krysta) is probably the craziest thing I've done while in college because of our sleepless nights, random food runs, and noise complaints from our neighbors. If you plan on moving in with some of your closest friends then here is some advice from each of us.

"How do you all organize the cleaning schedule?"

Each of us made a decision that two will clean the restroom and the other two will clean the kitchen. it's important that these rules are followed because if we end up forgetting to clean we could get bugs throughout the dorm since the dorms at our school are pretty old.

"When is bedtime?"

Technically we don't have a bedtime. There are two heavy sleepers in the house, Krysta and Alaina. Alaina usually goes to sleep at 11:00 PM while the rest of us go to sleep around 2:00 AM, and YES on school days. "This is the time for us to bond." Krysta says.

"Do you all share food?"

We usually don't share food, but we will cook for each other especially myself or Alaina. Sometimes Alaina and I will cook together. It's always a good time here at our dorm.

"Do you all argue often?"

"We mostly argue over the air conditioning." Alaina said in my interview with her. I agree. Alaina and I prefer different temperatures so it often comes up in a mini argument will happen. Kaitlyn and I will usually just have arguments that last 5 minutes, then we're cool again.

"What advice can you give anyone else who may want or has multiple roommates?"

The best advice my roommates and I can give is to "be yourself, communicate, and enjoy it while it lasts." Once you start living on your own, it's going to be hard to keep up with finances, food, work, and your social life outside of work.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.
