15 Things You Forget To Thank Your Roommate For
Quinn O'Donnell

Roommates do a lot for you. They are with you every single day. They have seen you at your best and worst, and at your happiest and saddest. Your roommate has been with you through it all. You thank them for all the big things they do for you but often forget to thank them for all the little things. These little things are the things that make them so special to you.

Thank you for:

1. Dealing with my craziness.

2. Letting me borrow your clothes.

3. Letting me eat your snacks in addition to my own.

4. Eating meals with me.

5. Not making me feel bad when I don't go to the gym (which is a lot).

6. Being quiet in the morning and not waking me up when you have an early class.

7. Dealing with my constant random singing.

8. Answering my random questions. "Does this make me look fat?" or "Should I wear this today?"

9. Having random dance parties with me.

10. Filling up the Brita filter constantly.

11. Buying me coffee when I have a bad day.

12. Helping me manage my stress.

13. Letting me use your printer constantly.

14. Binge watching "Grey's Anatomy" with me.

15. For being you.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
