College roommates are honestly the greatest blessings.

9 Reasons Your College Roommates Are The Best
Caroline Warner

Picking random roommate assignment was honestly one of the best decisions I've made for my freshman year of college. I was scared at first because I didn't know what to expect, but they're honestly some of the best people on this earth. Here are nine reasons why your college roommates are the absolute greatest:

1) They let you eat their food, even if they secretly don't want you to.

I'm guilty of this one, I eat my roommates' meals all the time, but I share my food too!

2) You wear each other's clothes.

I have something they like, they have something I like. It's a mass clothing swap. We've all raided each other's closets at least once or twice at this point.


3) They give the best advice.

We all make dumb mistakes. Your roommates are their to give you advice on boys, clothes, classes, etc. (and let's be honest, they give the greatest advice, too).

4) They cook for you.

Oh and speaking of food, my roommates have made food for the whole apartment. And it's good. Reaaaally good. Bless them. (and I still need to make a meal for them, speaking of).

5) There's no judgment on how sloppy you look.

I've not once dressed up fancy for class, and neither have my roommates. There's never any judgement or comments about how we dress, because we are think "same."

6) If you hate someone, they hate that person, too.

You come home and rant about someone you despise and it's go time girls! We all bash the same person together, regardless of if we know them or not.

7) They stop you from doing stupid things.

This also goes back to the advice. Roommates prevent one another from making decisions we will regret later on. They will definitely call you out on it before you press the send button.

8) They laugh with you and at you.

My roommates have laugh attacks on the daily, it's expected. One of us always does something weird, but we choose to laugh anyways.

9) They're there for you no matter what.

My roommates have been with me through some tough moments, and vice versa. We help each other through the good and the bad. Altogether, we just love each other so, so much, and want the best for one another.

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.
