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.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
