What makes friendships flourish more than a good old fashioned slumber party? Yeah, you already live together but try and set this up the old school way; blankets on the floor,

a nostalgic movie on Netflix, a game of Truth or Dare and of course plenty of snacks and drinks to keep energies high.

College can be overwhelming at times, and that's when you need a buddy to get through. Plan at least one day or night a week where you just head out

and do something new. This is especially great if you are both new to the area.

Whether it's the middle of the week or the weekend, any night is a perfect night to pop in a movie, or head out and see one. Here's the thing

though...to get to know one another, alternate who gets to pick the movie each week.

You don't have to go full What Not to Wear and tear them down. Think of it more like a movie montage from the '90s.

High school may be over, but a lot can be learned about a person by looking at their yearbook. Spend some time going through one another's senior one, ask questions,

laugh and dive into their past a bit.

Even if cooking isn't your go to thing, it's fun to cook a meal every once in awhile. Either cook for one another, or take on a recipe you saw

while binging on some Chopped on Netflix.

If you noticed you and your new roomie both brought a ton of books from home that aren't required reading, suggest starting a book club with her to discuss your

favorites together.

You're going to have to share a space for almost a year, why not head to Target and pick out some pieces together to make it feel more like the

both of yours?

While you'll more than likely want to spend winter break with family, Spring Break is all yours. So plan a trip together; be it to a concert, a national park, basically

anywhere your car can get you and make the most of your time on the road together.
