    26 Things That’ll Help You Survive Living With A Terrible Roommate

    Thankfully my roommates are angels, but as for the rest of you...👀

    1. An oil diffuser so you can focus on adding moisture and aromatherapy to your bedroom, instead of the smell of your housemate's hard-boiled eggs wafting in under the door. Essential oils sold separately!

    2. A white noise sound machine for anyone in need of consistent privacy. This baby never loops sound and will help keep outside noises from disrupting Zoom calls, sleep schedules, and WFH sessions.

    3. A genius self-watering planter that'll keep your plants hydrated for up to two weeks, so next time you're out of town you can rest assured your plants will be well-taken-care-of.

    4. A sunrise alarm clock reviewers swear by for waking up on time and less groggy. The alarm mimics natural sunlight and is often bright enough to wake you up without any noise at all. Now you can finally be an early-bird and enjoy more quiet time before your roomies are up!

    7. A Ron Swanson dirty/clean dishwasher magnet that'll allow you to let someone else communicate their displeasure over dirty dishes for once.

    8. A pair of reasonably-priced noise-cancelling headphones to block out all annoying sound for less than $100 (compared to Bose, that's a steal!) — say bye to the noise from your roommate's binge-watching sessions while you're trying to study/relax!

    9. A weighted blanket for anyone who struggles to slip into a deep sleep due to anxiety, stress, or night terrors. The comfort of the weight helps all types of people fall asleep and stay asleep easier, so no matter how much stress your roommate added to your day you'll be able to rest easy.

    12. A set of 12 extra large bath bombs for anyone who has "listen to the sound of my bath bomb fizzing away as I slip into the tub" at the top of their peace and quiet to-do list.

    13. A bottle rack for storing the household's heap of water bottles in one easy-to-find place.
