You think you know a person and then you start to live with her -- and then you really get to know her. Because your relationship with your roommate is a relationship unlike any other. It’s a 24/7, constantly in each other’s spaces, going through life together kind of deal. And you both signed up for the challenge.

Having a roommate can be incredibly rewarding, especially as you learn more about this person and form a special bond that only comes from knowing her bathroom schedule.

Yup, you find out a lot of weird, random things about your roommate when you move in together. But you wouldn’t have it any other way. Because witnessing someone else’s ups and downs and being there for it all is truly remarkable.

Here are the 48 weird things you learn about your roommate when you move in together:

1. What she will and won’t spend money on. Household appliances? Yup. Household cleaning supplies? Nope.

2. The number of guys she actually brings home versus how many she tells you.

3. The same three outfits she has on rotation every weekend.

4. The names of all her best friends -- real and imaginary -- since she was 5.

5. The only three meals she knows how to cook. Scrambled eggs don’t count.

6. How much she enjoys ABC Family. And how poorly your television tastes align.

7. How much she still struggles when it comes to doing her own laundry. What are friends for, right?

8. The item she’ll always forget after she leaves the house.

9. Everything about her job, coworkers, boss, office, career and, did we mention, job?

10. Her fondness for hot sauce on everything.

11. The type of alcohol she absolutely can’t stand. It rhymes with Shmapkin Shmorgan’s.

12. How often her ex sleeps over. But you would never tell... because roomies.

13. The type of dish person she is: Does she clean the dishes immediately or leave them next to the sink to (presumably) be done later?

14. How she treats her parents. You can infer from overheard phone conversations.

15. Her refusal to refill the toilet paper and how long she'll continue to use tissues instead.

16. Who her real friends are… besides you, natch.

17. Her fondness for One Direction, especially before going out.
