8 Reasons I Am Thankful For My Roommate

In This Article:

I have heard horror stories about other peoples roommates. Some people have even moved out because they can't stand their roommate that much. Other people just live with someone they never talk to. I am so thankful that I hit the roommate jackpot. Madison has become my best friend and a huge part of my life.

So here's to you Madison, thank you...

1. For not thinking I'm weird when I talk to you in my sleep. 

This has happened multiple times, and she just recaps me on the conversation the next day. Super thankful she doesn't think I'm a weirdo or get scared because one night I asked her about a shotgun.

2. For letting me borrow your clothes when I don't have the right thing to wear. 

God blessed me with a roommate that wears the same size as me. Even in shoes!!!

3. For being down for food whenever wherever.

Y'all we were in the middle of a tornado warning, and we loaded up in her car and drove to cook out.

4. For letting my boyfriend come over and hang out.

Honestly, I was worried about getting a roommate that didn't want a boy in the room or just wouldn't be friends with my boyfriend. However, Madison and Will have become good friends, and they joke around and laugh just as much as me and Will do.

5. For letting me play music ALL the time.

I play music when I shower, when I put on makeup, when I study, literally all the time. Good thing is that we both like the same music, for the most part, we get to sing along together, and I get to show her my awesome dance moves.

6. For letting my home be your home away from home.

I have brought her to my hometown football games, to my house multiple times, and to my hometown parties. She's been happy to go every time. We even got our hair cut at my home salon at the same time.

7. For not getting mad when I leave my stuff everywhere.

My books and binders tend to stray from the coffee table to my desk to the floor. Clothes are even worse. I don't know a single girl that can keep a room clean when she is trying to get ready. I am thankful that Madison doesn't care when I change clothes five times and every time leave the remaining clothes on the couch or on my bed.

8. For being willing to try new things.

We have tried so many new things in this first semester of college. A kickboxing class, pancakes in a cup, new coffees, are just some of them. I am so glad we get to try this stuff together. Even if we don't like it all.

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

College is an endless cycle of crappy, sleepless nights, tedious, boring lectures, and hours of never-ending piles of homework.

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.
