11 Best Things About Living With Your BFFs

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Fairfield chapter.

Roommates are the friends that become your family. You will have some of the funniest and greatest times of your life with these girls so enjoy it and appreciate every amazing and probably insane moment! Here are 11 best things about living with your BFFs during the best four years of your life: 

1. You always have multiple closets to choose from. Your BFF’s are always down to share their clothes. Whether you’re going to class or a party, there will always be multiple outfits and accessories to choose from. 

2. Laundry day is 1000 times more fun. Actually, every chore and mundane activity is more entertaining when you get to do them with your best friends. Never clean the bathroom alone again! 

3. Girls nights are every night. Just when you thought you would never have another middle school style slumber party again, you realize that living with your best friends is the never-ending sleepover you always dreamed of. Gossip, snacks, mani-pedi’s, and movie marathons happen on the reg. 

4. Family dinners are amazing. From breakfast for dinner on Monday night, to Taco Thursdays, or even just your average night in Barone, sitting around the table with your besties is the best way to end a busy day. 

5. You never accidently run out of female necessities. When you live with four or more girls, chocolate, wine and tampons become stockpiled in your house. Embrace it. 

6. Someone is always around and more than willing to help you get ready.

Roommate One: “I’ll do your makeup if you do my hair.”

Roommate Two: “Deal.” 

7. No pants, no problem. Your best friends don’t care if you walk around with no pants on because they understand that pants are the enemy. 

8. You never have to worry about your plans for going out. No matter what you end up doing or where you end up going, you’ll have a great time because you’re with your BFFs. Plus, if nothing is going on you can have your own party with your roomies. 

9. You have built in tutors. When you live with a bunch of girls, there is always someone who can help you with that impossible Calc homework or 20 page essay. #blessed 

10. Saturday morning pajama parties! There’s nothing better than cuddling under the blankets and chatting about your night out or the latest Scandal episode. Bacon and pancakes are optional, but highly encouraged. 

11. You always have someone who cares about you to come home to. Living with your best friends means you will never miss anything going on in each other’s lives. You’ll be there when they need a high five, a consoling hug, or even a drink, and you will love every second of it. After all, these girls are going to be your best friends for life!
