15 Signs That You and Your Roommate Were Meant to Be

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

Going to college – especially if you go the random roommate route – can be terrifying. However, sometimes you just get lucky. The perfect roommate makes everything so much easier. There are specific signs that tell you that you and your roommate were meant to be. Here are a few of them.

They get your humor

Lets face it, some of us make weird jokes sometimes. But, your perfect roommate always seems to understand them.

It seems like you work together as a perfect team

One of you does the makeup and the other one picks out the outfits. The perfect pair.

They always know what to reply to a certain text

Somehow your roomie always seems to know the perfect reply when that special *someone* texts you.

They’re the first person you spill all the gossip to

Who else but your perfect roommate to spill all the gossip to?

They always seem to know how to make you feel better

Sometimes all you need is a little pep talk to make you feel better.

They’re always down for a party

No one can tear it up like you two. 

They make you study even when you don’t want to

It happens to the best of us.  Here’s to the roomies that talk some sense into us every time we feel like giving up and dropping out of school.

You both have a signature dance move that you randomly break out into

Although there’s rarely ever any music playing when this happens.

You both have that one person on campus that you secretly love, but actually know nothing about

He’s really cute, but whats his name you ask? Well, we refer to him as “Second Floor Library Guy.”

You both know how to harmonize perfectly to random songs

It’s more like a performance…that you’ve done hundreds of times.

They don’t judge you for stuffing your face. Usually, they’ll join in.

Leftover pizza for breakfast is a totally acceptable activity.

They dont judge you for not going to the gym

We all have those days when your bed just seems so much more inviting, and your roommate understands.

You come up with code names so you can talk about people without being obvious

That’s why your hair’s so big, it’s full of *secrets*.

If you’re from different states, you spend hours asking each other how you say different things

“Wait, say “water” one more time!”

They’ve become one of your best friends

Enough said. Nothing beats living with your bestie!
