11 Things To Thank My Freshman Roommate For

AliveCampus

Very few times in our lives, we come across certain people that will be important to us forever. One of those times happened when I met you. I remember when it was all awkward, forced conversation. 'What's your major?' or 'Where are you from?' From there the questions became 'Can I borrow a pair of your boxers?' and 'Can you just shut the hell up?!' First semester was hard at first living with a stranger, but somewhere along the road, we had an A-ha! moment where we realized that being roommates was one of the best decision of our freshman year. And as I write this now, I realized there are several instances when a thank you was due.

Here's 11 reasons why I need to thank you for being my roommate:

1. Thank you for not being weird.

I have had heard some horror stories of other people's weird roommates, and I'm glad that I didn't have to deal with sleeping with one eye open, or worry about my things.

2. Thanks for driving me everywhere.

I didn't have my car on campus, and you have saved me countless times from walking in the rain and snow.

3. Thanks for listening and dealing with my pointless drama.

I bet that half the time either you didn't care. But I apologize for all the times I've gotten up in your face...Or sub-tweeted you.

4. Thanks for being my study buddy.

Because if I didn't have you, I probably would have failed out of school.

5. Thank you for waking me up for class when my alarm didn't.

I would have been late so many times.

6. Thanks for getting me food when I'm sick.. or too lazy to get up.

I know it's annoying, but hey someone's gotta do it.

7. Thanks for cleaning my mess.

I mean, I cleaned up your messes, so I suppose we are even.

8. Thanks for making sure I made it home.

Or at least checking to see why I'm not back, or taking me back even if I didn't want to.

9. Thank you for having a show that you watched with me and only me.

The Real World!!! (We are watching as I type this).

10. Thank you for not punching me in the face (even if I deserve it.)

I know that maybe I need a good love tap, but thanks for not breaking my face when I come in at 3 a.m. extremely loud.

11. Thanks for being my best friend, and helping me get through my freshman year of college.

I don't know what I would have done without you. I couldn't imagine not having all the laughs, fights, cries, or 3 a.m. talks that we had. Thanks for picking me up when I fall, and encouraging me. I hope we stay friends for a very long time.

5 Ways To Bring Positivity Into Your Life When All You Want To Do Is Drown In Self-Pity

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.

11 Things We Learned From Brooke Davis

"What's more important? What we become or how we become it?"

St. Thomas Aquinas College

"She was fiercely independent, Brooke Davis. Brilliant, and beautiful, and brave. In two years she had grown more than anyone I had ever known. Brooke Davis is going to change the world someday, and I'm not sure she even knows it." - Lucas Scott, An Unkindness of Ravens

Brooke Davis of the hit show One Tree Hill was the it girl - she had it all, or so we thought. She started out as a stuck-up, shallow, spoiled, head cheerleader who didn't have her life together. She slept around a lot and loved to party - sounds like your typical high school teenager right? Wrong. B. Davis had so much more to offer. Caring, loyal, and outspoken, she has taught us some valuable lessons throughout the 9 seasons that OTH was on the air:

For some of us, coming to college was the first time we ever had to share a room. It was a big change, but a fun one.

We call those people, "Honorary Roommates" and here are 11 signs you have one in your life.
