32 Things We Should Thank Our Roommates For

College is a major turning point in anyone's life. It is a time of ups and downs, mistakes and success and every emotion you can think of. One of the most crucial factors of getting through these four years of blissful hell is who you spend every day with: your roommate(s). All too often, we forget to thank them for the little things they do every day that make getting through college just a little easier. So, here are a few things I would like to thank the girl who has to put up with me on the daily for:

1. Thanks for staying up past 4 a.m. with me just to talk when I can't sleep.

2. Thanks for ordering cheesy bread with me when I'm craving it.

3. Thanks for dealing with me when I am moody for no reason, and loving me anyway.

4. Thanks for cleaning the mess even when it is not yours to clean.

5. Thanks for always being there to give me a hug when I need one.

6. Thanks for watching my favorite shows with me even though I know you secretly hate it.

7. Thanks for always making sure that I get home safe.

8. Thanks for having weird dance parties with me even if it's on a Monday night.

9. Thanks for taking my side on everything even if it might not be right. 

10. Thanks for playing card games with me when I don't feel like studying.

11. Thanks for running errands with me just so I have some company.

12. Thanks for picking me up from class when I am too lazy to walk.

13. Thanks for binge-watching TV with me every day after class.

14. Thanks for making cookies and sharing them with me.

15. Thanks for not judging me if I go too long without showering.

16. Thanks for cuddling with me and stalking people on social media together.

17. Thanks for curling my hair.

18. Thanks for buying me candy and other little sentiments when I have a bad day.

19. Thanks for not judging my appearance after I wake up.

20. Thanks for killing the spider.

21. Thanks for listening to me rant about random and stupid things for hours.

22. Thanks for sharing your wardrobe with me.

23. Thanks for leaving the last piece for me.

24. Thanks for taking over my end of our chores when I accidentally forget.

25. Thanks for stuffing your face with me so I don't feel bad about it.

26. Thanks for watching movies with me until I fall asleep when I am upset.

27. Thanks for accepting my goofy moods and matching my level of weirdness.

28. Thanks for sitting down and eating with me.

29. Thanks for not getting angry when I know I'm being annoying.

30. Thanks for being awesome at decorating and making our place feel like home.

31. Thanks for always being there.

32. Thanks for being you.

As cheesy as it may be, the people you live with are your family at college. While you are far away from home, haphazardly trying to get your life together before you are face to face with the real world, they get you through each day. The bond you develop with them is unlike any other relationship you will form in your life. 

So, let's try to remember to be a little more appreciative of the poor souls who got stuck dealing with us every day. Just kidding, but really.

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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?
