NORTHFIELD, MN—Like many Carls, I am looking for a new roommate for next year. I have been told by my current roommate that I am clean, respectful, and generally enjoyable to live with. Here are just a few of the characteristics I am looking for in my new roommate.
My ideal roommate would:
- Keep their side of the room neat
- Enjoy being outside
- Be down for Netflix binges
- Go to bed by 1 AM
- Join me in sunrise yoga every morning
- Run an 8 minute or under mile
- Never make eye contact with me unless instructed to do so
- Address me as Commander or Admiral
- Enjoy going out and partying exclusively on Monday afternoons
- Never ask me about myself
- Lock the door after leaving the room
- Speak over three languages (Pig Latin not included)
- Have basic knowledge of Ponzi schemes
- Play the Australian didgeridoo
- Enjoy discussing alternative conspiracy theories
- Consider converting to a new religion with me (non-negotiable)
- Appreciate the rise of the My Little Pony franchise
- Want to remain roommates until our deaths
As you can see, I am a very low maintenance and understanding roommate. If you have these qualities, please don’t hesitate to get in touch!
