10 Things You Should Thank Your Roommate For

Before you came to college, the idea of living with another person was terrifying! What if you don't get along? What if she's a morning person and you're a night owl? Chances are, after meeting them, you quickly learned that wasn't the case; becoming friends was inevitable. Now after a rough day, you find yourself looking forward to her walking through the door after her night class. So as soon as she gets in the door, grab her, and thank her for these ten things!

1. All the random late night food runs!



Because who else wants to go to Taco Bell with you at two in the morning? Or go get a chocolate milkshake when it’s four degrees?

2. For listening to you talk about your crush like it’s your job.


You know you’ve told her the story of how he looked at you and waved 12 times today already, but you’re just SO excited that you have to tell her a couple hundred more times. After all, you guys are going to get married.


3. For not murdering you when you don’t get up for the first seven alarms.


She knows just as well as you do: you’re not getting out of that bed for your 8 am until 7:55, but instead of getting mad, she tries to go back to sleep. But be warned, she’ll tease you about it later.


4. For all of the beautiful, hilarious, ugly, and insane pictures she takes of you.


You never knew that you looked like a T-Rex while you laughed, but thanks to her, you do now!


5. For being your “Mom away from Mom."


“Your paper is due tomorrow, and you have to do your laundry! You have to wear those black dress pants. No, you can’t wear sweatpants, IT’S A JOB INTERVIEW!” What would you do without her?


6. For being there for you all the time.


It’s finals week and you’ve already lost your mind twice, thought about changing your major, and haven’t slept in three days; she’s been by your side the whole time. Through all the crying, the frustration, the yelling, she’s been there for everything.


7. For all of her undying support.


She knew you were going to get into that summer program, and when you did, she celebrated like she was the one going. When you come to her with a bad test grade or doubting yourself, she’s pushing you and believing in you; even when you aren’t.


8. For sharing.


How could she ever say no?


9. For all of the great advice.


From which professor to take for College Writing, all the way to what you should say to that cute guy who sits in front of you, she generally knows what to say.


10. For being the best roommate, and best friend you could ever have.


How could you live with anyone else?

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
