17 Things We Forget To Thank Our Roommates For

It's that time of year again...We're about to shove everything we own into our Vera Bradley duffels and make the drive (or flight) home for Thanksgiving. While we're stuffing our faces with our families, let's not forget about our mini family back at school... Our roommates.


1. Thank you for signing a lease with me, even though you knew exactly what you were getting yourself into. 

2. Thank you for always sharing the family-sized hummus. 

3. And the wine. Mostly the wine. 

4. For always offering up your closet, even though all your outfits are comprised of my clothes anyway. 

5. For never turning down a trip to Wawa, even if it's four in the morning... Because calories don't count after midnight. 

6. For knowing full well that there's an open door policy. And for letting me barge into your room when I just have to vent. Which is basically every day. 

7. For watching foreign soap operas with me while we pretend to know exactly what's going on. 

8. For texting me "Are you alive?" the morning after a night out. And coming to cuddle as soon as I text you back. 

9. For cleaning the living room with me. And finding all that stuff we lost under the couch. Like I actually forgot I owned those Tory shoes. And that frat tank. #GoFigure

10. For having an entire Pinterest board dedicated to living room decor, but fully accepting the fact that the only decoration we will ever have is that philanthropy banner. Which is totally fine. 

11. For working late hours and still being awake when I get home from studying at the library... or going out. 

12. And for listening about every detail of my night. Even if it was boring. Which it probably was, since you weren't there with me. 

13. For having spontaneous movie marathon days where we never leave the house. Even when we have so many more productive things we could be doing. 

14. For always telling me when my outfit looks bad. And for not being offended when I tell you that yours looks worse. 

15. For letting me do your make-up. And eyebrows. And hair. And basically being your personal stylist. 

16. For being there for my anxiety attacks, moments of joy, and nights where I just feel like crying. 

17. And for actually making these four cement walls feel like home.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
