1. You'll always have someone to come home to after a long day.

After a long day on campus of not-so-fun class time and dealing with the stresses of life, coming home to someone who equally hates leaving the house as much as you always makes life easier.

2. You always have a partner in crime

Whether you need a hiking partner (even if you end up getting lost), or someone to go to the local farmers market with, having a roommate always gives you an excuse to go out and do something fun.

3. You can face the horrors of renting a house together

Having to deal with landlords, electricity bills, and, should I say, "unique" house features (such as a can-opener attached to your kitchen wall from the 50's), it helps to have someone else there with you. Or even when someone pounds on your door at 1 AM and scares the living crap out of you, you have someone there to huddle in a corner with and cry.

4. You'll always have someone to pregame with (and you don't even have to leave the comfort of your own home).

Never fear! Your roommate is here, and she has Malibu!

5. ...And if you stay in, you have someone to lounge/be lazy with

Ordering food and eating it in bed might also occur.

6. If you're sick, you have a built in NyQuil supplier

No one likes going to the store when their sick, but luckily for you, you can make your roommate do it for you! Just give em your best moan and cough.

7. You don't have to study alone

Studying for that Physics class is a lot less painful when your roomie is there suffering with you.

8. You can motivate each other to workout

Lets be real, sometimes working out SUCKS. But having a workout partner makes it a lot more bearable.

9. They're there for you when you've had one too many

When you go out with your roommate, you have a built in safety buddy! You know you're both going to end up going home together, so there's no chance of getting lost, or sleeping over at that one guy's house. You also get to slpit Ubers! (Hooray!)

10. You know they have your back

If you're ever in a pickle, you know your roomie is always there to help you out. Forget your house key again? No fear, your Roomie is here!

It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. But also a time of stressing over the perfect gift.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

Bucket List To Live In The Now

Find excitement in your life and start exploring wherever you are right here, right now.

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…
