50 Things You Say to Your Roommate

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

It’s safe to say that there is never a dull moment when you live in a college house full of girls. Your roomies have seen you at your best and worst moments, which is why you share a special bond with them. Whether it’s little victories like announcing that you finally did your laundry for the first time in two weeks or bigger triumphs like celebrating the fact that you got over 100 likes on your Instagram post, there are some things that you would only say to your roommates (mostly because nobody else would really care). Here’s a list of all of the things you say to your roommates on a regular basis.

In the very wise words of Drake, “here’s to living for the nights we can’t remember with the people we won’t forget.” College wouldn’t be the same without your roomies!
