Cause your roomie is your best friend.

We all have to share our spaces with someone (or multiple people), and with close proximity comes bonding that you just can't get otherwise. Your roommate(s) is your confidante, your go-to, your ride or die, and whatever else you could call a super close, live-in best friend. It'll be weird to adjust to living without them after graduation. Here are just a few things you'll end up missing:

1. Having someone to go anywhere with you

If you want Starbucks or Chipotle, you can count on them to be along for the ride.

2. Venting sessions

Sad over a boy? Fail your exam? Get in a fight with your mom? Your roommate's there to hear about all of it.

3. Netflix and cuddling

Because if you can't sit home on a Friday night to watch Gilmore Girls and eat junk food with your roomie, who can you do it with? No one, that's who.

4. Decorating/furnishing your apartment

Even if that just means hanging up some lights and a few old posters, you make it your own.

5. An always available support system

Need I say more?

6. Having a perpetual sleepover

You can have ice cream and wine any night of the week, and it's acceptable because you're technically always having a "sleepover", right?

7. Making questionable decisions too often

Refer back to #6.

8. A best friend

At the end of the day, your roommate is your best friend. And even if you know you won't be seeing them as much after graduation, you know you'll have countless memories to look back on and even more to make in the future.

Daily Fun Lists

One of the most dreaded places on campus is the library. Nothing awesome ever happens here. Usually, the only reason you're here is because you've procrastinated so long that the library is the only place you'll actually get stuff done. It gives you this feeling of sadness and impending doom. You have no idea how this is going to go or how long you'll be here, but you do know it is about to be the most excruciating experiences yet. But it has to get done, so you drag yourself to the lovely library.

With each new year comes new goals.

Deciding on a goal can be hard, unsure of what to change for this new year. A new goal for myself is to be happier and take care of myself more. I am a very driven person; so driven that I commit to a million and ten things.

It is that time of year again. Christmastime. It is one of my favorite seasons for a myriad of reasons. Here are just a few reasons why I love Christmas. This list is in no order of importance.

1. The Christmas decorations

I am that person who will decorate directly after Thanksgiving is over. This year, my roommates and I put the tree up in our apartment before we even left for Thanksgiving break. It is a great stress reliever for me to just sit in my living room and work on the huge amount of work I have before the semester is over.
