If you've ever had a roommate, chances are they're one of these five types:
The Sleeper
Often found in bed. This kind of roommate is not uncommon. Usually insistent on the idea of beauty sleep, they take absolute advantage of every second of free time they have to power nap. Probably goes to sleep early and wakes up early. Probably a morning person.
The Ghost
The roommate that you never actually see after the first week, whose existence is now questionable. Likely to be involved in more extracurriculars than you can remember. Frequently seen on and around campus more than in the room.
The Parental Figure
The roommate that takes on the role of a parent, frequently nagging you to do tasks in your dorm that are kind of unnecessary. Strong advocate of making the room look neat and presentable. Also constantly reminds not to forget your personal items (keys, bags, etc).
The Megaphone
This kind of roommate takes it upon themselves to be as loud as possible. They are obnoxious at all times just to make sure everyone knows that they’re there. Not only that, but they take it upon themselves to make all of their daily activities have the sound equivalence of a Justin Bieber concert.
Examples include: blasting music, tv or video games.
The Collector
This roommate doesn’t throw anything away. Usually their side of the room looks like an absolute disaster with pretty much anything you can think of stacked together. They probably haven’t ever heard of a trashcan, and are also likely unfamiliar with the idea of maximizing space.
