5 Reasons I'M Thankful For My Roommate, As Told By "Parks And Rec"

You are a wonderful person.

5 Reasons I'M Thankful For My Roommate, As Told By "Parks And Rec"
Huffington Post

I seriously don't think I would have made it this far without you. There a million reasons why I'm thankful for you, but I didn't want to keep everyone here forever, so I narrowed it down to five that encompass my gratefulness (is that even a word? I should know this, we're going to be teachers).

1. The jam sessions.

All the way from freshman year, we would always be down to blast some SoMo, throwback Disney (yes, that was us blasting Nobody's Perfect at 1 a.m., judge us) and Justin Bieber (I know you're still judging). It was those late night "I'm not tired yet" nights where the music was too good and the memories were even better.

2. The late nights.

Remember that one time we all crammed in your tiny room pulled an all-nighter, because I had to write my English paper that was due the next morning? Good times. (Also the worst time in my life because I realized I cannot function on 3 hours of sleep.)

3. The words of encouragement.

Whether it's letting me know I'm gonna ace a test that I'm super nervous about, or just giving me the extra encouragement I need to go to class (ew), I know I can count on you to be that little voice in my head that gives me a push every now and then.

4. For all the laughter.

"Where?" "Is it velveeta Las Vegas?" and countless other time's we've just looked at each other and suddenly can't breathe from laughing, it always seems to come in right when I need it the most.

5. The love.

Even though we weren't roomies from the start, fate always knew we'd be the best of friends. I'm so thankful for all that you do for me, and all that you do for others. You are an amazing person and I am lucky to be able to yell across the room to annoy you.

BUT ALSO I'M FREAKING OUT BECAUSE WE ONLY HAVE ONE YEAR LEFT OF BEING ROOMIES AND WE CAN'T TALK ABOUT IT BECAUSE I'LL CRY.

Love,

your main bitch. :)

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

10 Reasons Why Sisters Are The Best

Who could be a better friend than your own sister?

sisters

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions. So, if you are aware that you’re a Starbucks addict as well, or maybe you need to check to see if you’re an addict, here are seven ways to tell.

It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective. The following aren’t foolproof tips and may not apply to you, but I was able to find success with them (hope you do too!)
