When I first started college, I knew no one. Naturally, my roommate was the most accessible and potential friend in such an unfamiliar place. Randomly assigned roommates don't always work out, but I cannot tell you how lucky I got. After two semesters of living together, she is still the coolest, most thoughtful, and supportive roommate a girl could ask for. Anybody that loves their roommate knows there are about a thousand thank yous that need to be said at the end of the year, but here are 35 for starters.
