An Open Letter To My Best Friend, Now That We're Roommates

Dear Best Friend/Roommate,

Where do I even start; looking back two years ago I never would've suspected that the loud, weird girl I met at Orientation the summer before freshman year would end up being my best friend and my roommate. Never would I have thought that I would've meet such an amazing person right off the bat. Meeting you and getting to know you was easily one of the best things to ever happen to me. It’s so hard to believe that we made it this far and have gotten as close as we are now, but I wouldn’t have it any other way.

All I can think about when writing this is my first impression of you, and how I never thought we would be friends let alone roommates, but then that magical day came, the day I saw you in J and H and it all went downhill from there. I’ll never forget that night when we had our first sleepover, literally we spent your first night at temple together! From then on we just grew closer and closer. From the countless late night Insomnia trips, or getting Jimmy Johns three times a week (lol why were we lowkey rich freshman year) to our Liz and Nick nights where we watch Bob’s Burgers and just bitch about our day. I can’t believe how much we have grown since then.


Looking back at last year aka the psycho sophomore year. What an eventful one, from our major crisis to the daily dramas of Nick and Liz to #justlizthings. So much happened last year and I don’t know if I would’ve made it through without you. I have to say some of our best times sophomore year were definitely getting to explore the city and distribute together! Even though we both dread distributing every time we do it, it's always a good time when we go together. Through the ups and the downs you’ve always been there for me and I love you so much for that.

Now fast forward to this year, less than a month that we’ve been roommates and I couldn’t be any happier, living with my best friend. Not gonna lie, at first it was an adjustment, but now that I’m used to it I absolutely love it. I love our morning conversations (aka us moaning and groaning at each other until our coffee is done), our late night roommate talks, and our movie and face mask nights. Living in the same apartment as you has been one of the best experiences of my life, so far.


I wanted to take some time to say thank you. Thank you for everything. For always being there for me, for always being a shoulder to cry on. I don’t tell you this enough but without you my college experience wouldn’t be the same at all. Thank you for doing the things you do around our home, cleaning, the occasional cooking, and all that. It makes my life a lot easier. Thank you for the food (literally eating your Uncrustable while writing this). With you in the house I know I will never come home to an empty fridge and empty cabinets. Thank you for always having my back and for constantly being there to listen to me rant and scream. Most of all Liz, thanks for the memories( even though they weren’t so great).

Love,

Nick

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
