10 Reasons My Freshman Roommate Is Invaluable

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

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

It is no secret that many American traditions have changed over time. As we grow older we change in so many ways that it only makes sense that we also change the way we celebrate special occasions. Of course when it comes to the holidays there are some family traditions that many of us still excitedly look forward to, whether it is eating your favorite dish or seeing favorite cousin. However, we all know that the holidays have overall changed a little from what they used to be.
