21 Things You Do With/For Your Hallmate

Shout-out to my hallmate for making sure I always have something to do and someone to do it with.

21 Things You Do With/For Your Hallmate
Author

A hallmate is defined as one who lives in the same hall of a residence as another person. However, a hallmate is much more than a next-door neighbor. A hallmate is someone you can always count on to do things with. And for me personally, a hallmate is the roommate I no longer have.

1. Binge-watch Netlix

2. Go on Walmart runs

It's 2 a.m. and you absolutely need more Arizona tea, or you're out of tampons, toothpaste or shampoo, so you barge into your hallmate's room and beg them to drive you since you're careless and for some odd reason they say yes. Or maybe you just want to fool around in Walmart like the girl above.

3. Share closets

Double, triple, or even quadruple amount of outfit options? Um, yes please! Plus your hall mates always have quirky signature pieces you can't find anywhere.

4. Gossip or vent

Your hallmates know everything about you and every boy/girl you like or don't like, and you know everything about them and the boys/girls they like or don't like.

5. Order way too much pizza

Spending $20 on pizza to have garlic breath is a recurring occurrence in college and it's OK.

6. Help each other with schoolwork

Whether it's tutoring each other, lending each other supplies, or complaining about the class instead, your hallmates always be there to help even if it's not the best idea.

7. Have sleepovers

Sleepovers are not "so middle school." Sleepovers are awesome!

8. Party

This one is a given. Your hallmates will always be done to party with you.

9. Shower together

No, I don't mean actually shower in the same shower. I mean bring your speakers in and shower at the same time, while jamming out to some Jimmy Buffet of course.

10. Watch old Disney movies

Old Disney did it better and some days "Cheetah Girls" at 12:30 a.m. is just what you need.

11. Go on adventures

Your hallmates are usually up for anything: hiking, trying new things, causing trouble, etc.

12. Nap

Napping alone is fun, but napping with a hallmate is even more fun!

13. Cuddle

This goes with napping. Nothing is better than cuddles with your hallmates.

14. Give each other advice

You and your hallmate give each other boy advice, fashion advice, friend advice, and any other advice you might need.

15. Go on food runs

Cook Out, Chick-fil-A, Sheetz, Starbucks, you name it, most hall mates have made a food run there.

16. Sit and do nothing

Some people think it's weird sitting and doing nothing, but that's because they just can't handle it, but you and your hallmates can and do for hours.

17. Eat meals together


You're hungry? Don't want to go alone? A hallmate will be feeling the exact same way and, bam, both of your problems are solved!

18. Have dance sessions


My gymnastics coach always said, "When in doubt, dance it out." Let's face it, college is full of doubts, so dancing it out with your hallmates is a must.

19. Walk straight into their rooms

Knocking is nice, but not always necessary with your hall mates. You find yourself walking into their rooms on the daily for just about anything.

20. Take care of each other

Mom and dad might not be at school, but my hallmates are and they make sure I'm safe, happy, and healthy, which is very much appreciated.

21. Love each other

This is the most important one out of the whole entire list and is self-explanatory.

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.

There have been many lessons learned.

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.
