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.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
