10 Things I want To Thank My Roommate For
Ryan Robinson

We all have one at one point or another. Roommates. As a Freshman in college, I live in a tiny dorm with one other roommate, who happens to be one of my best friends. When we first decided to live together, we really didn't know anything about each other. After one semester of living together, I can say that I can't imagine a time in my life without her. So thank you for all the things we have gone through together this semester!


1. For dealing with my messes.

I know we can both get fairly messy at times, but thank you for not getting mad when my side of the room is littered with clothing because I couldn't figure out what to wear the previous night out.

2. For always going to eat dinner with me.

While this one may seem odd, I really appreciate our lunch and dinners in the dining halls, even though we always end up sick after eating there.

3. For understanding when I'm closed off and not speaking.

I know that at times I can get into my funk where I don't speak and want to be alone, but thank you for always knowing how to give me my space (even though we live in a cabinet sized room).

4. For listening to me ramble on about the same topic 1,000 times.

When I can't get off a topic and I continue to go on about the same thing, you always listen and still make it seem important.

5. For always having the most fun pre-pregames ever.

Because sometimes getting ready is more fun than the party.

6. For being my favorite dance partner.

We both know that your dancing is a true gem.

7. For having the same sense of humor as me.

Because dark humor is the best humor, right? There is truly nothing like making fun of each other endlessly.

8. For making me feel better when I'm down about myself.

When I'm whining about how I look, you always cheer me up.

9. For cheering me up when I've made a mistake.

You make me remember that making a mistake is okay and to learn from it and move on.

10. For being my best friend.

Because I can't imagine a life where you may not have ended up dealing with my bullshit everyday.

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.
