Choosing a roommate can be a tough decision for a college student. You want someone who is clean but not so clean that you’re the dirty one. You also want someone who won’t kill you in your sleep or leave the toilet clogged. You can go through a number of humans before you find one worthy enough to be your roommate, or you can choose to live with a dog and have the best roommate ever.
Here’s a list of 30 reasons why dogs make better roommates than humans:
1. They always greet you at the door when you come home.
2. When they lick you, you are not that mad about it.
3. You are also more accepting to them licking their own ass.
4. They don’t leave dry toothpaste stuck inside the sink.
5. They don’t clog the toilet.
6. They are equally as excited about the knock of the pizza delivery person as you are.
7. When they stare at you in the middle of the night, it’s only because they need to pee. And let’s be honest, you probably have to, too.
8. They don’t open your mail
9. They don’t judge you by what you eat because they will eat just about anything that falls on the floor.
10. It is like having an automatic vacuum cleaner.
11. They don’t wreck your car.
12. You can leave cash lying around.
13. They will even try cleaning up the vomit off the floor because your dumbass drank too much.
14. They won’t judge you for it either.
15. They don’t give grief when you “let loose”.
16. They are the best listeners.
17. They don’t purposely drink your beer.
18. If they shit on the floor, you are upset. But not nearly as upset as you would be had it been human shit.
19. They make sure all of your guests are clean by sniffing them in the butt.
20. They are never late with their share of the rent.
21. They don’t leave lights on everywhere that racks up the electric bill. That would be you.
22. They don’t borrow your clothes— they just occasionally sleep on them.
23. They are okay with binge watching the same shows on Netflix over and over again.
24. You won’t have to worry about lonely nights— they make great snuggle buddies.
25. When they are upset, all it takes to cheer them up is for you to rub their belly.
26. They don’t leave dishes in the sink.
27. You don’t have to listen to their favorite playlist over and over again.
28. It is not weird when both of you are sitting on the couch naked.
29. They don’t send text messages or snapchats of you when you’re passed out.
30. They don’t ask you where you’re going or where you have been. They are just glad to have you home.
