New Roommate Syndrome

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!!

Almond Roommate

Your roommate who is likely preparing their post Pilates non-gmo, organic, blue spirulina, chia seed smoothie bowl with a side of judgemental gaze towards you and your pregaming companions.

“God, Brooke is such an almond roommate. I ran into her this morning as she got back from CrossFit and she said she “admires my willingness to let go on the weekends” like.. what?”

roommate-ish

A person who helps make your life less stressful by helping you with bills.

A roommate-ish person is someone who supports you and has your back no matter what. They always look out for your best interest and makes sure you stay on the right path in life because if one person in the house is failing then the whole household will fail.

A roommate-ish person is someone you can connect with emotionally and physically.

Paul is my roommate-ish friend.
