7 Times You And Your Roommate Were Leslie Knope And Ann Perkins

Many times, your college roommates become your closest friends. In fact, they become more than friends--despite disagreements or frustrations, there's something about sharing a living space that brings you closer together like nothing else will. You develop a bond deeper than friendship, and although they may never be roommates in the television show Parks and Recreation, Leslie Knope and Ann Perkins are the perfect example of what best friend college roommates are like.

1. Asking each other for clothing advice:

Because you would much rather hear it from them and have them save you the embarrassment of wearing a bad outfit in public.

2. Spending so much time together that people mistake you for a couple:

Although truthfully, they probably know more about you than your significant other does. After all, the best conversations happen behind closed dorm doors at 1 a.m.

3. The bond and loyalty you share:

Your roommates become your family, and family comes first. Always.

4. Being able to rely on them when you're having a bad day:

You know that no matter what, they have your back. Sometimes you don't even have to ask for support--they know you well enough to know when you need some cheering up.

5. Pep talks:

Not only are they there for you, but you want to support and encourage them when they're feeling low, because they're awesome and need to be reminded of that sometimes.

6. Wanting to find them Mr. Right:

It's no easy task, because they deserve the very best, but you're up for the challenge. Because if anyone knows them well enough to find them a match, it's you!

7. Loving each other through the good, bad or the ugly:

There will be times when you don't get along and feelings are hurt. But through it all, you will always make amends, because you love each other and can't imagine life without them.

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?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
