The College Roommate Groupchat, Printed As A Book
Print the roommate groupchat as a book. Every message about rent, dishes and who is bringing people over is set in order with each roommate's name beside it.
Can we print our college roommate groupchat?
Yes, a groupchat prints the same way as any conversation. Each roommate's name sits beside what they wrote, and the messages run in the order they were sent. One person makes the book.
The chat is years old and nobody uses it now, so can it still be printed?
Yes, as long as someone still has it on a phone or in a backup. Any roommate's copy works. We cannot bring back what a phone has removed, so use the copy from whoever kept the most.
What if the old chat is on a phone that no longer works?
A backup of that phone on a computer can be read. A phone that will not turn on and was never backed up to a computer cannot. The same chat is on the other roommates' phones, and the old phone guide has the steps.
Should we print one year in the apartment or all of it?
Print the stretch you would reread. The book can be made from a stretch of dates, such as one lease. All of it may run to more than one volume, and you see how many before you pay.
How does every roommate get a copy?
Order the same book again from its page, once for each roommate. The book stays in your library, so there is nothing to send again. The paperback is $49 and the hardcover is $89.
Do the other roommates have to say yes?
Yes, ask them. When you order, you confirm that the others in the chat would be happy to be in a printed book. A reunion or a wedding is a good excuse to bring it up.
When will it arrive if it is for a reunion?
A printed book arrives about two weeks after you approve it, and no delivery date is promised. The digital edition arrives the same day. More on groups is in the groupchat guide.
