Have you been mentally trying to figure out your roommate? Does she flip out on you when you borrow a pencil without asking? Does she always have her hand wrapped around that illegal bottle of vodka?

The results

If you picked mostly As: The Party Animal

You’re living with a total party girl who constantly likes to go out and get crunk. She seems to forget the purpose of college and is pretty much here for the social aspect of it all. By now you’ve gotten used to her craziness, and you try not let her influence your choices too much.

If you picked mostly Bs: The Goody 2 Shoes

This girl is all about the books. She’s always studying and doesn’t really know how to go out and have a good time. You’ve tried convincing her to go out for a night, but it’s just no use.

If you picked mostly Cs: The Sleeper

You would think that eight hours of sleep is enough for a person, but not your roommate. She can barely get herself to class, much less do anything else. Sadly, you’ve gotten used to tip-toeing around the room.

If you picked mostly Ds: The BFF

You two are inseparable. You’ve formed a life-lasting bond with each other, you finish each other’s sentences and do practically everything together, even your homework. You really lucked out in the roommate department.
