Advice and Tips for living with multiple roomates

What It's Like To Live With Your Best Friends
me

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.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. 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.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
