Perhaps you love your roommate (like I do,) perhaps you really dislike your roommate, or maybe you and your roommate maintain equal levels of weirdness. Well, regardless of how well you get along with your one roommate or rather house full of individuals you classified as “normal” until you starting living, eating, and breathing under the same roof as them, chances are you have shared some of the strangest, wackiest moments of all time.
And why hide these outrageous and intriguing moments when you can share them with the entire University?!
This idea came to me when I watched a clip from The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. He shared real stories connected by the hashtag #myroommateisweird on live television. I thought the concept was pretty ridiculous until I listened to not even five minutes of the segment only to die laughing at what some people tweet about their roommates. The best two I heard:
1.My roommate used to make scratch marks in his deodorant so he could tell if I used it. #MyRoommateIsWeird
or even better…
2.My roommate once drunkenly peed behind the fridge. I asked if he knew what he was doing. He responded, ‘Yes.’ #MyRoommateIsWeird
So, how weird are roommates on the SLU campus? Let’s take a look:
