Also known as NRS, this temporary loss of reality occurs when you invite a good friend to move in with you. For a brief period anything seems feasible, and impossible promises like "you can borrow my car" and "I'll help you buy things" are made in a haze of idealism. The potential roommate is quickly infected (this syndrome is highly contagious) and takes on the same delusions. Symptoms begin wearing off after several weeks and than fade completely when the individual is ejected and you never speak again.
New Roommate Syndrome Sufferer: Stop racking your brain looking for places, you can come live with me!! Rent is cheap and I can give you a ride to work now that we'll both be living in the city!!
NRS Sufferer 2: That sounds great!! I can sell my car and quit my second job!!

aka "melissa", "pocahontas", "rock star", "vegetarian freak", this once-carniverous chica exhudes all that a bunkmate, suitemate, roommate, apartmentmate or housemate could ever want. she bakes, she vacuumes, she enjoys the fine delicacy that is adolescent television programming (funniest home videos, abc family, etc). sorry boys - while this is the same damsel once known for giving love a "bad name", this heartbreaker is currently off the market.

Noun: A chosen or randomly assigned roommate that is completely compatible and who you quickly become best friends with. The platonic relationship epitomizes true friendship.

Someone that lived in your house right before you did. You didn’t live together but your stories intertwine.
Yeah, my step-roommate is a hottie. Thought she was mean at first but it turns out she also lived in my room before me. So, yeah, that made a ton of sense.
