Me: I literally hate you
Roomie/bestie of 7 years: nuh uh
Me: Objection! You have no proof
Bestie: overuled! You made me Macingbd cheese
Me: I can't believe that's the specific time you choose, not me blowing you kisses multiple times a day, or the many times I've refilled your water bottle. But the Mac n cheese?
Bestie: I wanted Macingbd cheese so bad, then I had Macingbd cheese
i fucking hate people who are like "no one has a right to live alone, just have roommates if you can't afford it, i had them for so long" etc because every single person my age that i know has a horrific roommate/housemate story. i genuinely believe that being able to afford living alone is deeply important for human dignity and also like, sanity, and i also think you should be able to throw your roommate out of a window if needs must
So I know COVID has prevented A Lot of us from going to college, or we just chose to not attend college. And that’s fine!!! You do you boo!!! In case you are, in fact, going to college this year and happen to be moving into a dorm (this also applies to moving into a new apartment) here are some tips for packing (and what to pack) when moving in.
- pack a small bag for stuff you’ll need when you immediately arrive. This means disinfectant wipes, a mop/broom, paper towels, and command hooks if you happen to be needing them (you will, idc what you think, you will need them)
- bring command hooks!!!!! a lot of college dorm don’t allow nails in the walls for hanging things. I can already hear people saying they don’t need to be hanging any decorations and ooooohhhh boy you are in for a treat. Winter gear???? You want your coat on a heap on the floor???? towel???? you want the thing you dry your beautiful body with on the dirty ass floor????? bring command hooks coward
- wash your dishes before you get there. I know this isn’t possible in every situation, but if you can, wash your dishes/travel mugs/tupperware before you move in. one less thing you have to do
- speaking of which, you will never have enough tupperware. you think I’m kidding??? I’m not. you bring that shit everywhERE you go, and you smuggle as much food as you can because your ass is paying for that, and by god, you will get your money’s worth
- communicate 👏 with 👏your 👏roommate(s) 👏 and this applies to apartments too. who’s bringing the mini-fridge?? who’s got the microwave??? are you having those in your dorm?? do they go to bed before or after 11pm??? comm👏un👏i👏cate
- bring,,,and extra,,,,,set,,,,of,,,,everything. towels, sheets, pillows, do it. yes it means a little more room in your bags, but pleaaaaseeee do it
- you will never have enough kitchen towels. I mean it. you will use those little shits for everything. wiping down a spilled drink, dusting, oven mitts, everything. I used them to wrap breakable things in my other bags
- I can’t believe I have to say this, but bring,,, shower,,,,shoes. If you are in a communal bathroom, there are probably dozens of college students using that same bathroom,,,,do you want foot fungus???? I didn’t think so
- door stop!!! sometimes dorm rooms don’t have these, always a good idea
- if you live in the north like me, and winter is a thing that happens for 6 months, think about bringing a shoe mat/tray for your boots. Doesn’t have to be a big one, but those boots are gonna be tracking in so much salt and snow and dirt, you want to put them somewhere
That’s everything I can think of off the top of my head, but please please please feel free to add more!!! stay safe!!!!! bring masks!!!!!!
So I usually don't post my own stuff but I decided why not just do it loll. This is a short story I wrote for school so yeahh.

My name is Alya. I am a college student living in an apartment with my roommate. We never really talk, we actually don't even know each other. I need a roommate because I was short on money, so I decided to put an ad on Craigslist. Anthony, my roommate, is very secretive, and private. I never know what he's up to. He's almost never home, which is great because I get to have the house all to myself. When Anthony does come home it's either very early or very late. One night I've got a strange phone call. Someone was shouting and pleading for me to help them. At first I thought it was some sort of prank. After a few moments, listening to the words to the panting, I came to a realisation. It was Anthony!! At first I was sceptical to go. I didn't know him well enough. After a few minutes of thinking I decided to go, because if something bad happened, I won't forgive myself. I grabbed the keys of the car and went in a hurry. He gave me the co-ordinates of some random ally in the middle of the city. I didn't recognise the place. I wasn't thinking clear when I went to help. What I saw was mind blowing.
The only reason Crowley lived in his car instead of being roommates with Aziraphale was because of Gabriel staying with Aziraphale in the bookshop.
