10 Reasons My Freshman Roommate Is Invaluable
az616578

My roommate is wonderful, beautiful, and an every day inspiration. From our weekly crying sessions to getting excited about dogs every day, your friendship means more to me than you'll ever know, from gremlin to goblin

1. Weekly Crying Together

I love that someone can casually see me ugly cry at least once a week and it could be over anything from test anxiety to I'm overwhelmed because I saw a dog and got emotional. There's no one I'd rather pass a tissue box back and forth with.

2. Living in Our Absolute Mess and Being Perfectly Okay With It

Nine times out of ten, our room is filthy but somehow we're both okay with living in our mutual garbage heap.

3. Watching Random Things and Laughing Until We Cry at 2 AM

Everything from Lazy Town remixes to singing the Shrek soundtrack, I love laughing so much I'm crying with you.

4. Midnight Walks

Those times we can't sleep so we just wander and look at the stars.

5. You See Me In My Natural State Every Morning - You Deserve An Award

Monumental frizz, bleary eyes, and needing you to help me find my glasses every. Damn. Morning. You honestly need a medal for witnessing that on the daily.

6. Leaving Notes When One Of Us Leaves Before The Other

Often it's you leaving and me being mid five hour death nap, but there's nothing sweeter than a cute doodle of the gremlin (me) and the goblin (you), and yes, gremlins need a lot of sleep (even though you know it's just me running from things I need to do).

7. Speaking To Each Other In Spongebob Quotes

There's something special about having someone scream to you about chocolate in that voice, you know the one.

8. Sobbing Over Cute Dogs

Yanking out headphones to yell over a huge, fluffy dog or barging into the room because I just have to talk to you about this amazingly cute dog I saw, or catching each other at a weird emotional moment so we're reduced to tears over golden retrievers.

9. Celebrating Good Grades With Each Other

Nothing beats a good, gremliny hug because you aced that one exam you spent all week freaking out over.

10. No Matter The Letters

We went through formal recruitment together and supported each other through the nerves and the decision making and cried together getting the news of our bids, and I'll never forget that. We may be members of different sororities but our support is endless, no matter our letters.


Here's to you, my best friend

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.
