A Letter To My Freshman Year Roommate

Not only my roommate, but my best friend

Dear Lu,

As our first year here at Michigan State is coming to an end, I wanted to let you know how much I appreciate and love you. Everyone is always a little unsure about how the year will go with their roomate no matter how long they've known each other. Being so similar, I was nervous that we would fight or get mad at each other for the smallest things, but I was wrong.

You have turned into my best friend and I'm so thankful to have someone like you in my life. Your positivity and happiness never fail to put a smile on my face and you always know what to say to help me when I'm down. I wouldn't want to make late night quesadillas or order Cottage Inn pizza 10 minutes before it closes with anyone else ;) Thank you for appreciating my weird-ness and dealing with me in my bad/stressful moods (and for just dealing with me in general). People hear horror stories of bad situations with their roommate, but I am so blessed to have such an amazing one like you.

We have been through so much together and even though we won't be roommates next year, I will always be there for you as you have always been there for me. You will always be MY roommate, and not only will you be my roommate, you will always be my best friend, too. I love you Lucine!

Love, Lo

5 Ways To Bring Positivity Into Your Life When All You Want To Do Is Drown In Self-Pity

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.

11 Things We Learned From Brooke Davis

"What's more important? What we become or how we become it?"

St. Thomas Aquinas College

"She was fiercely independent, Brooke Davis. Brilliant, and beautiful, and brave. In two years she had grown more than anyone I had ever known. Brooke Davis is going to change the world someday, and I'm not sure she even knows it." - Lucas Scott, An Unkindness of Ravens

Brooke Davis of the hit show One Tree Hill was the it girl - she had it all, or so we thought. She started out as a stuck-up, shallow, spoiled, head cheerleader who didn't have her life together. She slept around a lot and loved to party - sounds like your typical high school teenager right? Wrong. B. Davis had so much more to offer. Caring, loyal, and outspoken, she has taught us some valuable lessons throughout the 9 seasons that OTH was on the air:

As you meet more and more people over the course of your college career, it seems to be a pattern that you will at some point have that one friend that doesn't live with you, but acts like they do. We call those people, "Honorary Roommates" and here are 11 signs you have one in your life.
