You moved in with your best friend and things couldn’t be any better! Not only is there a BFF right there for a 2 AM update on that one guy who texts every two days, but they are there for pranks, dinner, or just hanging out. If you’re part of a gal-pal gang with a shared headquarters, here is a massive list of 21 things you can definitely relate to.
和你最好的朋友住在一起是再好不过的事了！她不仅会为你留意着你那每隔两天给你发几条短信的男友凌晨2点发来的短信，她们还会和你开玩笑，和你一起吃饭，或者只是出去闲逛。如果你正好有个女性死党和你住一起，下面列出的21件事你肯定能理解。
1. Your Sisters Would Never Understand
1.你的亲姐妹永远也不能理解
As much as you refer to your roommate as a sister, your real sisters only wish they could be that close to you. You and your roommate are so close, it’s as though you shared a womb—despite having different mothers.
在你把你的室友称作姐妹的同时，你的亲姐妹却希望自己能和你的室友一样与你亲近。你和你的室友是如此亲密，就好像你们曾经在同一个子宫里一样——当然，你们并不是同一个妈生的。
2. Dealing With The Dishes!
2.洗盘子
As much as you love your roommate, you still don’t want to catch some icky bug—Ascaris is not pleasant! Whether it’s the dishes or the tub, there is always some area that you need to be clean that they just can’t understand. The dishes are definitely a hotly contested subject for many roommate situations.
你爱你的室友，你不希望遇上棘手的问题——蛔虫很讨厌！因此你总要求盘子或是浴缸很干净，但是她们却不理解。室友有矛盾往往是由洗盘子这个问题导致的。
3. There’s Hair In Every Corner
3.每个角落都有头发
While your long hair seems to creep into the carpet, your car, and every part of your boyfriend’s apartment, having two or more of you in the house seems to double the trouble.
你的长发掉到地毯上、车里以及你男朋友住所的每一个角落，你们两个人，甚至三个人住一起情况就加倍地糟糕了。
Small brown hair bunnies seem to drift around your hardwood floors like a cowboy on the range, and your tub has never drained right since you moved in. While it’s kind of gross, at least there is a tiny piece of her with you everywhere you go.
有了室友之后你的家里就好像多了些棕毛小兔子，它们像牛仔在原野驰骋一样在你的房间溜达，以致于你的浴缸放水放不干净。至少你走到哪儿都会带上她的一部分了，虽然这有点恶心。
4. The One Who Cooks Is Queen
4.做饭的人就是女王
Oh, what? You need the apartment for a night, but I can have this cheesecake? Oh yeah, sure thing, how long should I be gone for?
什么？你要用公寓一晚，但是我可以吃这个芝士蛋糕？行，要我出去多久？
Seriously, whoever cooks is queen. While you will always love your other roommates, the one whose drunken hobby is making cakes is your absolute favorite! The best roommate is the one who cooks, and cooking parties are the best way to pass the time, or to turn into one of those…
事实上，谁做饭谁就是女王。你爱你其他的室友，但是喜欢做蛋糕的那个才是你最爱的！喜欢做饭的室友才是最好的室友，烹饪派对是最好的消磨时间的方式，它甚至会变成其他类型的派对…
5. Random Dance Parties!
5.随意的舞会
The fliest dance parties in the hemisphere will always be held in your kitchen. You lay down sick dance moves anytime, day or night. It’s pretty much the best thing you can do to relieve the stress of a long day, it’s exercise, it’s super fun, and it only gets better with a group of kick-a** roommates.
在厨房里的舞会才是最好的舞会。你可以不分昼夜，在任何时间跳舞。这差不多是你缓解一天下来的压力的最好方式，这是种锻炼，超级有趣，如果有一群酷酷的室友参加就更好了。
6. TV Nights Can Have You OBSESSED
6.晚上看电视会让你们着迷
TV nights will have you and your roommate obsessed. Forget the bae, you’re talking about “A” from Pretty Little Liars—it’s not a romantic thing, although you would expect all the scorn of a cheated lover from your roommate if you did happen to watch ahead.
晚上看电视会让你和你的室友着迷。忘了你们的宝贝，你们谈论的是《美少女的谎言》中“A”这个角色——这事虽然与浪漫无关，但如果你一不小心看得比你的室友超前了，那你室友就会感觉像是遭到了爱人的背叛。
7. That Moment When Everyone Gets Sucked Into A Single Interest
7.大家有一个同样的爱好
It’s not just the boob-tube that sucks you in, you and your roommate rebound off each other for everything. Whether it’s the color mint or growing a backyard garden, getting into hobbies has never been more exciting or enjoyable as when you are doing it together. Figuring out plant pairings is just as exhilarating as stealing a cop car when you do it with your live-in BFF!
能吸引你们的不仅仅是电视,你和你的室友有很多共同爱好。不管是吃彩色薄荷糖还是浇灌后花园，爱好只有在共同完成时才更让人兴奋。和你的室友兼一辈子的最好朋友做园艺就像偷警车一样刺激。
8. When Someone Goes Missing For A Moment (whether for finals or a mini-vacation)
8.当有人消失一会儿时（不管是去期末考试了还是去短期度假了）
You never really realize how close you and your roommate are until the first time they leave on a long vacation. Whether it’s for finals or to find Europe’s best beer, you find yourself wandering around the apartment all by your lonesome, touching the walls, peeing with the door open, and living like a wildebeest until their return.
你永远也不会意识到你和你的室友有多亲密直到她们第一次出去度长假。不管她们是去期末考试了还是去找欧洲最好的啤酒了，你会发现你自己一个人在公寓里游荡，摸摸墙，上厕所也不关门，在她们回来之前，你活得像只角马一样。
9. There’s Always Someone To Lean On
9.总有人能依靠
Whether it’s 3 AM or a Tuesday morning, it’s always great to have that roommate there to lean on. There are so many deep questions that need answering or texts that need urgent evaluation.
不管是凌晨3点还是周二早晨，有人依靠的感觉真是太好了。有太多有内涵的问题需要回答，太多信息需要立即评估。
10. That One Thing You Both Promised To Never Talk About Again (but there are so many questions!)
10.那件你们说好再也不谈的事（但是存在很多问题！）
You don’t even want to know what you just walked in on, but you totally do. There are so many questions!
虽然你不想了解你到底碰上了什么问题，但是事实上你还是清楚的。问题太多了！
While you can never talk about it again, you desperately need to know.
但是你要知道，你永远都不能再谈论这件事。
11. Judging Blind Dates From The Window
11.从窗外就能知道相亲的状况
As the live-in best friend, you have the end-all say to what goes on. Whether it’s sending the emergency SOS text to help them escape a bad date, or helping judge an attractive potential mate from the window, close roommates know how to make a great choice.
作为住在一起的最好朋友，你对发生的情况有终结权。也许是发呼救信息帮助她们逃离一次糟糕的约会，或者是在窗外评估一个迷人的潜在伴侣，亲密的室友就是知道怎样做好选择。
12. Encouraging Better Habits
12.她们能让你养成好习惯
Close roommates know that having someone right there can encourage great habits, like exercising or better study habits. Having someone there to boost your confidence can even make negotiating a salary when you go on job interviews a little easier. Your roomie is a superb source of confidence!
亲密的室友知道，有人陪伴可以促进自己养成好习惯，比如说锻炼或者更好的学习习惯。在你面试时谈薪水也更简单了，因为她们增强了你的自信。你的室友是自信的极佳来源。
13. The Pranks!
13.恶作剧
There is nothing better than a housemate you can prank. A comrade with a sense of humour will help inspire some of the grandest mischief in the world! Maybe duct taping things to the ceiling is your cup of tea, or hiding small pictures of the Bonus-Jonas everywhere until you finally complete the prank by taking them to a mystery concert with a surprise guest: the Bonus-Jonas!
没啥比拥有一个可以捉弄的室友更好了。一个有幽默感的伙伴可能会让你想出世界上最有趣的恶作剧！也许你喜欢把东西黏在天花板上，或者把Bonus-Jonas的照片贴得到处都是，然后这样结束恶作剧——把舍友带到一个神秘音乐会上，这个音乐会的嘉宾就是Bonus-Jonas！
Pranks. One of the best things about a high-quality bunkmate.
14. New Levels Of Passive Aggression
14冷战的新阶段
Whole new levels of passive aggression are born in any roommate situation. Signs or memes can be created with the sole purpose of getting someone to do something without freaking out and yelling “just do it!”
室友间有矛盾时，冷战经常会升级。要叫某人干某事时往往会暗中放信号或者写便条，免得大喊：“做就是了。”
15. You Have A Second Wardrobe — And A Real Opinion On Your Own…
15.在衣着方面，除了自己的观点，你还会有另一套穿衣方案……
You just got a second wardrobe. Need a great pair of skinny jeans for a date or just need an outfit opinion? Ask them. Not only do you get a real opinion, but maybe they have a better idea. It’s pure magic.
你有第二个穿衣方案。需要一条约会穿的紧身牛仔裤？还是仅仅是在服装上需要点建议？问室友吧。你会得到一个实实在在的建议，而且有时候她们的想法会比你更好。这就像魔法一样。
16. Mastering The Sneak Around
16.学会鬼鬼祟祟
If you made it past the passive aggressive stage of your relationship, you have probably also mastered the sneak around technique. While you and your closest companion have strange schedules, making as little noise as possible has evolved into something of an art form. From saving the microwave beeps at the last second and taking your shoes off at the door, you guys are noise ninjas.
如果你们的关系已经过了冷战这一阶段，那你们最好学会悄声无息这一技能。你和你的密友作息时间异于常人，因此尽量小声已经成了一种艺术。你们会在最后一秒打开微波炉门所以它不发出提示音，你们在门前脱鞋时一点声音都没有，你们是悄声无息的忍者。
17. They Are Always There When You Need Them
17.在你需要她们的时候她们会陪伴你
It’s not just about having someone to lean on, it’s about everything from advice to a ride when your tire goes flat. Having another member in your pack is amazing for everyone in the house.
这不仅仅是指有人依靠，而且是说你在需要建议时有人会给你，或者在轮胎漏气时有人会载你一程。你的圈子里多出一人，对这房子里的任何一人都是极好的。
18. 2 AM Conversations About Everything
18.凌晨两点瞎聊天
It’s those strange late-night conversations that explore aspects of the world that take you from regular roomies to the next level. Only ride-or-die roomies know about the endless fathoms that you can explore with moonlit talks. It’s unworldly, beautiful, and will help you solve every problem and leave you refreshed.
正是那些奇怪的探讨这世界各方面的深夜对话，把你们的关系从普通室友提高了一个级别。只有生死之交的朋友才知道在这些月光下的对话里，你能探讨得多深。它美丽、超凡脱俗，帮助你解决任何困难，让你神清气爽。
19. When You Hear A Certain Playlist From Their Room, It’s Time To Go AWOL
19.当你听见她们的房间里又在放那几首歌时，你就知道是不辞而别的时刻了。
You just heard your roommate come in, and you get up to go chat about whatever. Then it starts—that track that you know you should disappear for. The second it starts, your lip curls. You grab your stuff and run to the library. An early 2000s country love jam is not something to stick around for.
你注意到你的室友进来了，你正起来准备跟她随便聊些啥。然而那首让你一听到就想要逃离的歌就响了起来，它一响起，你就撇撇嘴。你收拾起你的东西，奔向图书馆。你肯定不会因为一首21世纪初的无聊乡村歌曲逗留的。
20. Y’all Are A Bunch Of Creeps
20.你们都会悄悄地喜欢上别人
Whether it’s the muscular mailman or just a particularly pleasing jogger, you and your roommate have mutually creeped on some studly piece of something wandering around your neighborhood. That barista that gave you both hearts in your coffee. Definitely. Beyonce. For sure—girl-crushing hard. Y’all are a bunch of creeps and it’s great.
你和你的室友总是会喜欢上这个街区里性感的人，也许是那个健美的邮差或是那个特别好看的跑步者。或者是那个给你和你的舍友的咖啡上都画心的咖啡师。当然，就像碧昂斯唱的那样，女孩子们总是会暗恋上别人。你们都会悄悄地喜欢上别人，这一点很棒！
21. You Will Still Love Every Day Living With Them!
21. 你还是喜欢和她们住在一起的每一天
You are so in-sync that no backstreet can take you and your roommate. If you wouldn’t change your living situation for anything, then you know you really are a close set of roommates
你们是如此的步调一致以至于没有什么伎俩能拆散你们。如果你们不愿意为任何事情改变你们的生活状态，那你们就可以确定你们是很亲密的室友。
