Today's Topic: Living with a Roommate

I think I've always been really lucky when it comes to roommates. My dorm roommate ended up being my best friend and roommate all 5 years of college...yes it took me 5 years lol...whhaaat I went to SDSU... you know they had party buses that picked us up on campus and took us to Mexico on the weekends for $12 round trip. HA.. okay I'm getting off subject here.

My roommate now is my other best friend, Taja. We've been friends ever since 7th grade. It's seriously the best living situation because we are so comfortable with each other, nothing ever really goes unsaid. I've had so many of my friends always come up to me complaining how they can't tell their roommate that it bugs them when they leave their socks in the living room, don't do the dishes etc.

Just like a relationship with a significant other, you should treat your roommate situation the same way. ALWAYS communicate! Even if it's a touchy subject and you don't know how your roommate will react it's better than suffering and holding it all in. Example: I told Taja the other day it really bothered me how she left her coffee cups piled up next to the sink... sometimes 3-4 would pile up... she said "oh, I'm sorry didn't realize that bothered you" and that was it! No more coffee cups. Don't be afraid to be who you are... I promise people will love and appreciate you for it!
