22 Times Your Roommate Saved Your Life

College ain’t always easy. But if you’re lucky, your roommate might also be one of your best friends in the world. And that makes things a whole lot easier. She saves your life on the regular, and you can’t thank her enough:

  1. She agreed to go out with you, even though she’d already settled in to watch The Mindy Project in her pjs, because you needed your bestie to be your wingman and/or emotional pillar.
  2. And then she totally didn’t complain when you ditched her for that cute DJ the second you got to the party.
  3. She let you have the room later that night, after you’d dragged her out and then ditched her. Bless.
  4. But when you just needed to stay in for the night, she was right there with you to make nachos and combine all your blankets into a mega fort.
  5. All those times she made you laugh so hard you might have peed a little.
  6. She let you borrow that perfect dress when you just had nothing to wear. Well ok, she forgave you after you borrowed her dress without asking first. That’s what best roommates are for.
  7. She also forgave you for all the make-up, shoes and granola bars you “borrowed.” And for that one time you accidentally wore her underwear for a full day.
  8. And She understands that you need to live-text her second-by-second updates to get through awkward social situations.
  9. She also understands exactly what your texts mean, even when it’s just the nail-painting emoji ten times in a row.
  10. She was psyched about Facebook stalking the cute DJ with you, even though she had a paper to write, because your hypothetical love life is more important to her than school.
  11. When she took the time to be your mom. Whether that meant getting you medicine, or cupcakes, or just plain telling you to stop whining and get over it.
  12. And when you couldn’t get over it, she was a shoulder to cry on. Always.
  13. When she gently explained that your fringe crop-top looked heinous and you were not pulling it off.
  14. She routinely forgave you for being an undisciplined slob and leaving your crap on her bed.
  15. All the times she let you vent. About your evil professor who hates you, about your acapella group drama, about boys, boys and more boys—she was always ready to listen.
  16. All the times she offered you spot-on, thoughtful advice, and never accused you of reading too much into text messages.
  17. And then when you ignored all her advice and ended up in tears, she never said “I told you so.” Not right away, at least.
  18. She was your biggest relationship cheerleader, even when your beau was hanging out in your room way too much.
  19. But when things went sour, she was the first to tell you that DJ guy was a total douche, and that she’d always known you deserved better.
  20. She took care of you when you were trashed. She didn’t laugh when she caught you rocking out to The Spice Girls. Basically, she never let you feel embarrassed when you were around her.
  21. When she totally covered for you. If you needed to pull an early exit, or get a clingy guy off your trail at a party, she was always there to be your bodyguard/mama bear/fake girlfriend.
  22. All those times she was just the best best-friend-roomie anyone could ever ask for. She let you be you, and she made sharing a tiny space an amazing bonding adventure. Let’s hear it for all the life-saving roommates out there.      Header Image Source 

Ditch The Roommate? Top 10 Things That Tell You It’s Time To Live Alone

Are you thinking it might be time to live alone?

Ahh our roomies! We love them! Or do we? You probably moved in with your closest friend. And you know each other so well! You like a lot of the same things and you definitely look out for each other.

Unfortunately, being best friends does not always mean you can live together. And at some point it will be time to put your grown up pants on and get your own space. Here are ten signs that tell you it is time to live alone.

You Really Want YOUR Space

When you can get along really well with yourself, it’s natural to crave your own space. Having your own space gives you room to breathe, relax, and daydream.

You Are The Cleanup Crew Or You Like A Messy House

Neat freak or Comfortable Slob, being able to tidy up your house at your own pace is always better than being your roommates’ clean up crew. Or, feeling bad that you just can’t keep up with their cleanliness.

Your Sleep Schedules Don’t Match

Alarms going off at different times? She works nights and you work days? It is almost impossible to create a routine when one of you is constantly getting ready for bed or ready for work. So it just might be time to live alone!

It Is Impossible To Get Any Work Done

A crowded house makes it very hard to study and get your assignments turned in on time. And If you are past the college phase in life, your online coursework as well. So maybe it is time to get that second job and get your own pad?

You Want A Party In Your House And She Doesn’t

At your own place, all your friends are welcome. You are just a social butterfly and that works well for you. What doesn’t work is having to ask for permission when you invite someone over.

This situation in reverse is not cool either. Imagine coming home to constant strangers in your living room? And what if you work from home, uh no thanks.

No-one Can Seem To Mind Their OWN Business

I once had a roomie who was also a tarot card reader. And she was always using her psychic abilities as an excuse to sit down after my date with a potential suitor and see what the cards had to say. Needless to say, this got tiring, fast! No-one needs to be in anyone’s business twenty four seven. And a roomie has nothing better to do than to know what is what and then some.

Sharing Is Caring

No, it can actually be so annoying. Especially if you both go into the roommate situation with expectations. Like my roommate is not going to break all my things. Or borrow my favorite shirt without asking? Or my makeup ? I mean, cmon! For someone who did not grow up with a sister, sharing personal items is tough.

You Want A Pet Or They Have One And You Are Not An Animal Lover

Pets are wonderful. But you and your roomie both need to get along well with the type of pet that you share your space with. I am sure the dog or cat or bird would love you both unconditionally, but people, are picky. Yes we are! And having your own space allows you to make the ‘with pets’ or ‘without’ decisions. Maybe it’s time…to live alone?

Financially You CAN Live Alone

Living alone is a very grown up thing to do. And it gives you all the space you need to create your own peaceful environment. And if you are financially ready, you should make the leap.

Walking Around Naked In Your OWN Place

Sounds fantastic. Enough Said
