I feel like I would be just as good at describing what it would be like to be a cockroach, since I've read a lot about these little creatures. I was fascinated by Entomology and constantly read articles on PestQueen. By the way, this is a very cool resource where interesting and unique articles about different kinds of insects periodically appear. You can also find great tips here if you are tired of the presence of insects in your home.
