What are college roommates for?

Roommates are for…

Long romantic walks through Walmart.

Midnight McDonald's runs.

Working through broken hearts.

Let’s be honest--helping with the bills.

Gossip.

Laughing.

Binge watching Netflix.

Ranting about professors or that one kid in class.

Being annoyed at their messes.

Thinking that you’re the only one who does the dishes.

Working through boyfriend troubles.

Talking and giggling through the night.

Making “Becky” calls.

Cooking Masterpieces that Bobby Flay would be proud to make.

Eating Ramen and $1 meals for a week.

College Roommates are the most wonderful, most fun, most irritating and the best thing that will ever happen to you. They can be the most supportive and understanding people in your life, which is good because they can seem to be everywhere all the time. They are there to listen when you need it or when you need a distraction. They know you better than anyone.

College is one of the most stressful parts of your life because of your often changing schedule and the process of molding yourself into adulthood. The only thing that seems constant is your constant state of stress about the thousands of what ifs in your life. Having your roommates always there for you to count on is one of the most important parts of this time in our lives.

So thank you to all of the wonderful roommates in the world.
