Throughout college, I’ve gone from one roommate to multiple roommates. By multiple, I’m talking 6-8 of us in one house. After freshman year, most of the housing situations are living with a house full of people. It’s super intimidating.

Whether you’re living with friends or not, I promise you’ll want to punch everyone in the house at some point.
