10 Reasons I'm Thankful For My Roommates

Let's face it; not everyone considers their roommate a friend and that's okay, but when you are close with your roommate, (and in my case, roommates), college is practically Disney World.

One of the biggest anxieties about going away to college is sharing a room with a practical stranger, but at the same time, it's also an exhilarating experience because you get to learn all about that other person.

I was reluctant at first because I wouldn't have to share a dorm with just one roommate, but two.

Now I feel greedy because I got two of the best roommates anyone could ask for. Only four months into college, and I couldn't picture living with anyone else.

1. They help me wake up in the morning:

And I'm not an easy person to get out of bed.

2. They Don't Mind When my Alarm Goes off Every Three Minutes:

After all, I do need to set at least ten alarms to make sure I get up in time for class.

3. They Don't Let Me Binge-Watch Netflix Alone:

"Don't watch Grey's Anatomy without me!"

4. They Let Me Jam Out to Taylor Swift:

They even let me hang my poster of her without judgement.

5. They Don't Mind My Excessive Eating Habits:

6. We Have Weekly Target Shopping Sprees:

Seriously, we have more fun there than at the Frat Houses.

7. They Take Care of Me When I'm Sick:

Thankfully one of them is a nursing major...

"You're dehydrated. Drink water."


8. They Accept my Germaphobic tendencies:

They know if they sneeze, they get sprayed with my collection of Lysol.


9. They're Always There for Me:

Especially when I freak out about writer's block and my printer not working.


10. They Never Fail To Make Me Laugh:

Even when we're stressed about our seventeen tests in a week, we still manage to crack jokes.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
