College Roommates

In this article  it discusses some of the perks and set-backs to having a college roommate. For example some of the set-backs can be that they leave the light on at night making it difficult for you to fall asleep, you not getting along with them, or just simple things like eating each other's food. Although having a college roommate isnt all bad. Here are some of the perks listed in the article. You have someone you know you can count on every night, if you get along it could lead to a very good friendship, and you always have someone looking out for you at the end of the day.

In my opinion having a roommate would be alright. Having a roommate be somebody I didnt know would be even better because that way I could make a new friend and get introduced to some of their friends and their cute "girl" friends. Oh yeah. Plus if he plays guitar or somethin we could jam.
