Just in case I want a bedtime snack, this seems the best place to sleep.

Por si acaso quiero un tentempié antes de acostarme, esto me aperece el mejor lugar para dormir.

Una vez en la universidad, mis compañeros de cuatro robaran mi queso y debería vigilar por el refrigerador como este.

Edit" Una vez en la universidad, mis campañeros dl cuarto robaron el queso y debería haber vigilado el refrigerado como este."

One time in college, my roommates stole my cheese and I should have kept a watch on the refrigerator like this.

Hi coffee! Do you say it like that in Spanish? Me suena raro. ¿No sería mejor "Te dije que encontraría ...". In any case, it sounds strange in English. It's better to say "I told you I would find..." - gintar77, Sep 26, 2011
