8 Reasons I Am Thankful For My Roommate
Carlye Washington

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.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
