25 Things To Thank Your Roommate For
http://residentiallife.vassar.edu

Whether you get assigned a random roommate or choose to live with someone you know, college rooming is always scary. You hope that the ideal "roomies turned best friends" scenario will happen to you. Regardless of whether this happens or not, it is obvious that roommates have a huge impact on your college years. They're the ones who see you at your best, your worst, your "hangriest", and your weirdest. Needless to say, we have a lot to thank our roommates for so here's just a small list of some of those things.

1. Thank you for making sure I didn't sleep through all five of my alarms in the morning.

2. Thank you for taking care of me when I was sick.

3. Thank you for getting past your first impression of me.

4. Thank you for forcing me to do my laundry.

5. Thank you for tagging me in endless videos on Facebook and Instagram.

6.Thank you for letting your closet be my closet too.

7. Thank you for not judging me when I didn't leave the room for a full day.

8. Thank you for listening to my endless rants about boys and life.

9. Thank you for always being down to snuggle and watch a movie.

10. Thank you for having dance parties with me on a weekly basis.

11. Thank you for forcing me to go out even when I really didn't want to (which was a lot).

12. Thank you for not letting the door slam when the windows are open.

13. Thank you for being (almost) as weird as me.

14. Thank you for making fun of our first conversation with me.

15. Thank you for being my cheerleader during midterms and finals.

16. Thank you for never letting me pig out alone.

17. Thank you for accepting my weird and random music choices.

18. Thank you for always singing with me.

19. Thank you for hating the gym as much as I do.

20. Thank you for knowing not to talk to me immediately after I wake up.

21. Thank you for decorating my room for my birthday.

22. Thank you for letting me send you ugly Snapchats and for sending ugly ones right back to me.

23. Thank you for appreciating naps as much as I do.

Ask friends of mine to name a quality about me, and one a lot them will point out the fact that I am almost always smiling. I like to laugh and smile -- not to quote Buddy the Elf in April, but smiling is my favorite! It is probably my favorite go-to expression. However, what a lot of people do not see is that I have my down days. I have days when smiling and laughing is a real struggle, or when I have so much on my plate that going out of my way to behappy takes more effort than I have stored in me. Be it a symptom of college and growing up or a facet of life, I cannot always be content.

11 Ways To Live The Best Life You Can

Life is full of twists and turns, but you have to keep going.

Life is all about twist and turns, sideways and which ways. Nothing is permanent, so we should take risks, and chase our dreams. We are taught at a young age many lessons that will follow us into adulthood. What we aren't taught is how to feel, and how we handle those emotions. We just have to figure them out ourselves, and that's not fun. In my 21 years of living, I have come to know that way too many people can't handle emotions, or the fact that not everyone is dead inside like them. When you're like me, and you have zero control over your emotions, it's hard to feel comfortable around people who aren't so in touch with themselves. As much as I would like to feel nothing at times, I've accepted who I am and the fact that I can cry over practically nothing. So, there are some things in life that you just have to do.
