The Three Best Friends Anyone Could Have

When you first read this title, what comes to mind?  I’m sure most of you would think straight to the movie The Hangover when Allen starts singing that stupid song to Phil and Stew while in the car trying to find Doug, Doug, Dougie Doug Doug, the last member of the wolfpack.  While yes that movie is absolutely hilarious and one of my all time favorites, this short post is going to talk about the benefits of living with two of your closest friends.

Doesn’t it bother you when you or one of your friends don't get along with a roommate?  You constantly hear them complaining about certain things that their roommate does and how they never talk or hang out.  How can you do that to yourself?  Isn’t the point of having a roommate so you have a friend that you can be with on a regular basis so you are not a bum living by yourself?  Luckily for me, the past 3 years I have lived with the same two people, Rob Blaker and Matt Geslin.  We are all the same age and have very similar interests.  Now I can go on and on about all the polite, conventional things that we look for in roommates, but I’m going to cut the crap and get down to the real reasons why each and every one of you need to live with your best friends.

First and foremost, unlike roommates who mind their own business, your best friend's life is part of your life.  You are "in the know” for whatever he does, how much he drank and the girl “he’s only talking to.”  This gives you unlimited amount of ammunition to use on him for future scenarios.  Trust me, you will benefit from this.  With that being said, when living with your best friends, you just don’t care.  You know they won’t take it personally and you better believe that they will come up with their own little resume to use against you as well.  It’s all part of the friendly banter that everyone loves.

What comes next? How clean your roommate is? How late he stays up? WRONG. Its how often he or she wants to go out and party.  Lets face it, it doesn’t look good if you live with a roommate that never goes out, while you are the weekend warrior.  You need a partner who enjoys the festivities of uptown Charlotte just as much as you.  Its as simple as that.  If you don’t agree with me, I suggest you read the blog below, which probably has boring nonsense that no one wants to hear.

Lets face it people, when choosing roommates, you need to be real with yourself.  What are you looking for?  Well, you have most likely just read the answer.  My two roommates have been and will be lifelong friends.  The amount of stories we have racked up over the years could make for a very entertaining novel.  I’m sure I’m not the only one who can say that either.  So, with all that being said, I hope you have enjoyed this post, because as Allen did say, you can’t beat the three best friends that anyone could have.

See you next week,
