30 Things We Don't Think To Thank Our Roommates For

We’ve all had our fair share of bad roommate situations. It’s life, and in college, these things are bound to happen. Roommates that worship cults, roommates that leave passive aggressive notes everywhere, roommates that try to track your every move, and even just roommates that you just don’t live well with. After a less than desirable roommate situation, it’s really important to recognize, appreciate, and hold onto good roommates. Here are 30 things that you should thank those great roommates for

1. Thank you for always sharing ice cream with me.

2. Thank you for always being so funny, and making me laugh every single day.

3. Thank you for being more terrified of our ghost than I am. I’m never less scared than anyone else… except for you.

4. Thank you for never calling me “roomie”. I may have had to drop kick you.

5. Thank you for having such funny sayings that I shamelessly stole and implemented into my own daily vocabulary.

6. Thank you for always helping me plan out my outfits, and literally abandoning your homework to help me decide if boots or converse were more appropriate.

7.Thank you for lighting the candles for me because I’m scared of lighters (If my RA is reading this - please don’t take away our candles)

8. Thanks for sharing a sense of humor with me.

9. Thank you for having a weird obsession with fantastic movies, and insisting on making me watch all of them.

10. Thank you for taking out the garbage all of the time because I never ever remember.

11. Thank you for tolerating my habit of not doing dishes for a while.

12. Thank you for always letting me eat the bananas you buy.

13. Thank you for always being so understanding.

14. Thank you for introducing me to blender-made banana ice cream.

15. Thank you for not caring when my side is a disaster.

16. Thank you for letting me borrow your clothes when I can’t find anything that goes with my outfit.

17. Thank you for always being down to go to the cafe with me.

18. Thank you for not being a snorer.

19. Thank you for sharing a dislike for a lot of the people I have a disliking for.

20. Thank you for not ever being annoying.

21. Thank you for not being weird about awkward situations we find ourselves in.

22. Thank you for being so relaxed about everything, and being so easy-going.

23. Thank you for introducing me to your friends (and letting me tag along) in the beginning of the year when I knew no one.

24. Thank you for never yelling at me, even when I’m being really annoying.

25. Thank you for not judging me when I eat Oreos at 2 am, with milk in a wine glass.

26. Thank you for listening to me complain about my tough classes every single day.

27. Thank you helping me out whenever I needed anything.

28. Thank you for the fact that we get along so great to the point where we have literally never had even a resemblance of a fight.

29. Thank you for being you, and for always being so great.

And lastly, thank you for doing random roommate, and also shout out to the housing department for throwing two seemingly-opposite, lost, lonely transfers together. Living with you has honestly changed my life, Morgan. It’s so cheesy, but it really has. I love you!

Things I Am Actually Going To Do This Semester

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

You need sleep, but also have 13 things due in the span of 4 days.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Top 20 Thoughts College Students Have During Finals

The ultimate list and gif guide to a college student's brain during finals.

University of Vermont

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
