Although my roommate situation at first was rocky, I managed to find a wonderful roommate who has become one of my closest friends on campus. It was really a blessing, because I was pretty SOL until I found her. We were both unsure of whether it would work because both of us were coming from pretty terrible situations. Luckily, we clicked immediately and realized we're a lot alike. We have a lot of fun together. Recently, I was watching Parks and Recreation and noticed that our relationships was very similar to Ann and Leslie's.

And so, here are 10 times Parks and Rec has perfectly captured the roommate relationship.

1. You love to mess with each other. And even though you're friends, you never miss an opportunity to do so.


2. Sometimes you act more like siblings than roommates, especially when you bicker, because in reality, you're family.


3. You're always real with each other because you know it's for the best.

4. But you mainly keep it real because you're close enough to say how you really feel. You know that your relationship can only grow from being honest with one another.

5. Sometimes you get a little crazy together... well actually, you're crazy more often than not. But having someone as weird as you around all the time can be a blast.

6. You can be totally yourself around them, especially your weird self. You grow so fond of them your weird self even compliments them in weird ways.

7. Everyone knows how close you are. Everyone. And it never fails to make you feel all warm and fuzzy when it's recognized.

8. You are always helping each other and finding out new, interesting details that only bring you closer.

9. You've gotten pretty protective of each other and you're always ready to back each other up.

10. But the most important thing is that you love each other through and through and you'll never forget your time together.

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.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads.
