1. When you're out of milk and in dire need of a cuppa tea - one of your flatmates will always have your back.
2. You all can appreciate how much of a priority it is to finish a series on Netflix, you'll just catch up with each other later or text them from across the hall to alert them when you're hungry.
3. If you rant about a housemate using all of your kitchem stuff (without washing it up), more than likely by the time you have a major 'bitch fit' to them, you are pretty chilled and question why you had a bee in your bonnet in the first place.
4. You watch the same soaps, and often watch them together, so it's kind of like having the home comfort of living with your parents again.
5. By the end of the year, you know every one of your flat mates favourite meal, whether you're on talking terms with them or not.
6. You learn to accept that not everyone will remember to buy washing-up liquid as much as you do.
7. The same goes for the emergency toilet roll delivery from your room to theirs.
8. You see each other every day, and when you're not together, you are more than likely texting.
9. The state your flatmate will see you in when you come rolling home (literally) at 4am becomes a weekly student night ritual.
10. If you don't come home after a night out, your flatmates won't worry... They know exactly where you are.
11. You become all about teamwork, you will never be left to order a takeaway on your own.
12. But when you do, you will feel smug when your flatmate regrets not ordering one, leaving you to sit and gloat whilst gobbling up that garlic bread with cheese - Chinese sadly isn't in the budget.
13. Your wardrobe triples, what is your is theirs - and vice versa.
14. Sometimes you might not see the outfit you lent back in freshers for at least three months.. 'Of course you can borrow it' is apparently misheard for 'of course I never want it back', and then you forget you ever owned it.
15. One bedroom becomes the flats 'hangout space' - where one goes, the rest shall follow.
16. You reach the point of banter where the line of just insulting each other becomes non-existent.
17. There's always that one flatmate who just hibernates in the flat 24/7, and fresh air becomes a weird and unusual smell to them.
18. If your sleeping pattern is messed up, more than likely theirs is as well.
19. If you live with girls then the 'monthly sync' is no myth, avoid the danger zone at all costs.
20. If you are upset, more than likely your flatmates will feel your pain as well.
21. You always have someone to go out with.
22. You question your wellbeing without them when you return home for the holidays.
23. Laundry becomes a team effort, you either do it together or it can wait another week or two.
24. You have that one flatmate you just never see, and you wonder whether she still actually lives with you or not.
25. They know all of your secrets, meaning you are basically stuck with them for good.
