10 Reasons I Love My Roommate
Becca Hernandez

Not getting along with my roommate was a fear I had. I realize now that was totally irrational because we get along great. I have truly found my match. I am so thankful for that because I have heard plenty of roommate horror stories. I am proud to say mine is not a horror story. So here are some reasons I love my roommate.

1. We like the same snacks.

Almost every night we sit down with carrots and hummus. We switch to chips and salsa. Then we are eating chocolate. Oh, and don't forget the beef jerky. That is the most important.

2. She keeps our room clean.

She always does her part in helping out. I love that my room is never dirty. Of course there are clothes thrown around sometimes, but I never feel like I am responsible for everything.


3. We have the same sense of humor.

We always are laughing together and laughing so hard. Whether it is doing spit takes at twelve AM or laughing at funny videos on twitter. She always makes me laugh.

4. She does not judge my strange habits.

I have the worst allergies ever and I blow my nose so much in the middle of the night. I talk to my boyfriend every night before bed and she never gets mad at me. She always just lets me do whatever I want/need to do.

5. She listens to my rants when I am annoyed.

Sometimes they are about my boyfriend, sometimes they are about my family, or about our team, even sometimes about her. She always listens and manages to cheer me up.

6. She stands up for me.

If she ever hears people talking about me she will always stand up for me. She can always complain about me, but if anyone complains about me it is not okay.


7. She always forgives.

I can be a real brat sometimes, and we fight. She always forgives me even when I do not verbally express my apology.

8. She always comes with me when I do not want to go somewhere alone.

9. She knows how to have fun.

No matter how tired we can be sometimes, we always have fun. Even during our miserable pre-season, we always had fun together.

10. She sings High School Musical with me in the car.

We are really in this together, and we are so not going our own ways.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
