1. Your roommates always seem to have SOs… #foreveralone

2. Cleaning is a group effort. You never just wash your dishes.

3. You just bought new shoes, but can’t pay for utilities?

4. It is 2 a.m. Why is she being so loud?

5. “Wait, are you telling me you ate my leftovers?”

6. “Is that mine?” Every time someone goes to grab something.

7. The mess. Just all the mess. Are they ever going to clean it?

8. When their significant other just takes advantage of the situation.

9. Are they ever going to leave their room and socialize?

10. Let’s agree to disagree.
