communal living
Communal living is the high art of pretending "us" under one roof while waging territorial wars over dish racks. Privacy is buried beneath piles of laundry and resource sharing inevitably becomes a hellish cycle of dishwashing. The fiercest battlegrounds are the kitchen sink and the chore chart, altars of jealousy and sloth. The true sense of community is achieved by attaining enlightenment through a roommate's snoring.
