Almost everyone in college has a roommate at one point or another. Whether it is someone you know or someone you have never met before in your life; we all eventually have one. If you have never shared a room before, it can definitely be a learning experience for both you and your roommate. You will have bonding moments that bring you closer together, but you will also have moments that can tear you apart. These moments can make or break your overall roommate experience. I have arranged 11 real-life moments that I have experienced with all my roommates so far in college.

1. You will learn to respect personal space.

2. You will learn that you will not agree on everything.

3. You will learn that there are morning people and there are night people.

4. You will learn to share.


5. You might have some great girl talks...

6. or some great bromances.

7. You will learn that you might have the same likes and dislikes.

8. You will learn to knock when your roommate has their significant other over.

9. You will learn that you might even be best friends...

10. Or you might be frienemies.

11. Most of all you will learn to be yourself around your roommate.

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.
