16 Reasons Why Living With Your Friends Can Have Its Ups And Downs

    "Renting out a house with friends will only test who’s an adult and who’s not."

    1. You get to have even more hang out time...

    Living with your best friend is the best because it’s exactly like living alone except you pay half the amount in rent and you always have someone to hang out with

    You're never alone!

    2. ...But sometimes it means that you don't get any peace and quiet.

    On one hand I want to live with friends but on the other I want to be alone forever

    You're never alone.

    3. Random nights out happen more organically...

    So me and liv said we weren’t going out til Saturday and here we are in the white lion pissed

    No one:

    Me: I've ordered the Uber.

    4. ...But if you're the responsible one you can end up being the only one to clear up the mess from the night before.

    You know pre drinks were good when it's 2 days later and you're cleaning vodka jelly off the walls 😂

    Never be the responsible housemate.

    5. Learning how to split up the household chores can be a chore within itself...

    Some of you have never ever done a single house chore and it SHOWS #housemates

    Especially if your friend appears to be allergic to taking out the bins.

    6. ...But once you get into the groove of it, it'll be like a well-oiled machine.

    Necessity: Marigolds for unblocking the shower plug.

    Optional: cleaning playlist.

    7. You never have to look presentable when you're at home...

    You know what's cool about living with your best friend? No pants no bra is completely acceptable. No questions asked

    House rule: no bras allowed.

    8. ...But sometimes discovering a gross habit that your friend has can make you feel ~differently~ about them.

    Is nail-biting still a bad habit if you use the bitten off nail piece to dislodge food from between your teeth? Asking for a gross friend.

    Well is it?

    9. Sometimes you end up being a little bit too acquainted with your friend's dating life.

    I live with my best friend and her boyfriend and I thought my biggest fear was them hearing me fart. Nope it's hearing them have sex.

    No one wants to know how their bestie does it.

    10. You can share wardrobes...

    You know I love living with my 2 best friends, but you know what I love more? Their closets

    The jeans and nice top combos are limitless.

    11. ...But it can become annoying when they start helping themselves to your stuff a bit too much.

    Finishing the last of the milk and not buying another bottle: sacrilege.

    12. Living with friends can help you to grow up...

    13. ...But even when you're all trying to be an adult you can run into roadblocks.

    Living with friend sounds great until you all have to do laundry in the same day and you only have one washer and dryer.

    14. But even with all the bad, living with your friends can be the best thing ever...
