13 Things You Forgot To Thank Your Roommate For
Katelyn Kraus

Getting assigned a random roommate was probably one of the most terrifying things about college. I have to live with someone I don't know? Luckily my freshman year roommate became one of my closest friends.

1. Thanks for always greeting me.

The little "Hi, how are you?" "How was class?" when I walked in the door meant more than you know.

2. Thank you for establishing our room as a "no pants zone" so early.

The first few weeks were pretty tough with the whole changing in the bathroom thing. I was relieved when we got over that and started changing in front of each other and running around in underwear and sports bras.

3. Thanks for the pictures.

When we were dressed up to go out, or just messing around in the room I have countless pictures of us and they remind me of all of our good times in freshman year.

4. Thanks for the random story times.

Falling asleep, just waking up or getting ready, the room was never silent. We were always gossiping and talking about something. Thanks for always listening, providing feedback and giving advice.

5. Thank you for being my personal alarm clock.

I really owe you for this one, some days you were the reason I didn't miss class.

6. Thank you for doubling my wardrobe.

Closets in college are already small enough. When you moved in, I had twice the clothes. Luckily we were basically the same size and you came to the rescue a few times.

7. Thank you for allowing my friends in the room.

And even welcoming them, soon my friends also became your friends and having you all get along was a great feeling. And thanks for making your friends my friends, too.

8. Thanks for jamming out with me.

Twenty-one pilots, Kanye, Beyonce, or Jack Johnson our room was always blasting music (thanks to your speakers) and we always had a little fun dancing around like fools.

9. Thanks for using my stuff and letting me use yours.

Shampoo, bowls, spoons, cups, clothes, everything you let me borrow or use saved my life just a little bit at a time.

10. Thanks for watching all the YouTube videos with me.

And always making references to them that made me bust out laughing "ANOTHER CUP OF COFFEE"...that's all.

11. Thanks for never turning down a night with movies and junk food.

Even if you were doing homework or on your phone, it counts that you were there watching a movie with me and never judging me on how many pieces of pizza or candy I ate.

12.Thanks for never turning down going out.

For as many nights as we stayed in, we also found time to go out and have a little fun and you were the first one to invite me or make plans and force me to get out of bed and get ready and take pictures and dance the night away together.

13. Thank you for enjoying college with me.

We had a lot of freedom in a big city with lots of strangers. Both of us were learning, growing and changing and I'm so lucky I experienced it with you.

14. Just thank you.

Like I said, moving in and literally sleeping in the same room with a complete stranger was terrifying. Thanks for always getting along with me, making my first year so much fun, never fighting and loving me like family. You were one of the best friends I made in college and I'm so happy I loved my random roomie.

Miss you, love you and can't wait to see you next semester.

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.

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.
