Roommates…

No, it is not usually this messy

So I am on my second set of roommates (No, I did not scare the first away). People always tell you, “Roommates are weird” and “It’s just one of those experiences you have have at some point in life.” or even, “It will prepare you for marriage.” Here is what I think:  

Why the heck do we do this to ourselves???!?!?!? Seriously.  I could have lived without the experience. And I sure as heck am not marrying some stranger so hopefully I will be a little more prepared to live with my husband instead of three random strangers.  

Here are ten things I could have lived without ever happening to me:  

1.  Random men puking on my floor at 12:30 at night.
2.  Girls wandering around in their underwear/ naked
3. Listening to “Party in the USA” at least 6 times a day
4. Always, always having to deal with someone’s PMS
5. Girls constantly complaining about the men in their lives
6. Waiting two hours to use the bathroom or wandering to the building with a bathroom.
7. No silence, privacy, peace, or comfort.
8. Single beds that are 5′ off the ground. Who thought this up?
9. Constant visitors. If you aren’t socializing, you are wasting your time.
10. Very poor repair work that has to be redone every month.

Say Cheese!

Not that college is all bad.

 In fact, having roommates can be spectacular. Like, once a week. So here are the ten best things about living with roommates that you met the day you moved in:

  

1. Spontaneous dance parties
2. There is always someone to do your hair and makeup for a date
3. Everyone is just as poor as you
4. Really good clothing advice
5. Chick flick marathons
6. Laughing your head off at 2 AM
7. Roommates getting asked out/ engaged/ married
8. There is always someone to talk to somewhere
9. You can buy really fun pets to decorate because you are in college and expected to make silly decisions.
10. They hate the guys you tell them to hate because they love you

See, I can be nice.  

This is me now. I have hair!
