'Friends' had lied. Roommates, no matter if you had known them all your life, seemed to get under your skin in a way no other human being was able to. Why was the maple syrup in the refrigerator? Where was the fabric softener? Who left the living room television on? What was the WiFi password? Endless petty arguments, but above it all, a bond unlike any other. You just had to survive the idiocy first... and forever, probably.
