An open letter to my housemates

Welcome to Tanglehood101:

Nov 21, 2016

I will always remember our first night together. Only we would think it would be a good idea to put all of our weight on a $40 couch. RIP.

Dear Juan,

I appreciate you. You keep me sane. Thank you for always being there when I need you the most. You are my goof for life.

Dear Nicole, (aka roomie)

While sharing clothes with each other is fun, having midnight simpin sessions with you is even better. You are the only person I know who would be down to drive to SF in the middle of the night just to go grab tacos. I can’t wait for all of our spontaneous adventures that have yet to come. 2017 isn’t ready for us.

Dear Christian,

I’ll always be here to hold you up when you’re feeling down (Literally. Throwback to Lili’s housewarming party). Now I’m not going to lie, at first I was a little skeptical about living with someone that I didn’t really know …but it turned out to be one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. #thicc

To be honest, the exact moment I realized we had something special going on was when Juan ended up in the hospital and we all ran to be by his side.

Thanks for letting us have our Grey’s Anatomy moment fam.

Anyways,

Thank you for making my sophomore year a little easier to bear guys. I love you!

P.S. I think it's time to come up with a better game plan to capture Jeff (Jeff, by the way, is our lovely rodent house guest).

11 College Misconceptions Every Incoming Freshman Needs To Know

Think of everything that you've heard about college... and completely forget it.

College is a crazy, beautiful, amazing whirlwind. It is highly popularized in television and movies, but not necessarily in the most accurate way. Yes, there's frats, dingy dorms, raging house parties—but there's also a lot that people fail to mention.

1. If you thought that you knew how to study, you're wrong.

All of your classes aren't taught every day, so professors aren't on your case constantly about reading and memorizing material. Once you get back that "questionable" first exam grade, you'll kick it into high gear and figure out what works for you

9 Things Only Girls With Bleached Hair Will Understand

Blonde hair, don't care!

Endicott College

I've been a bleach blonde for over a year now, and let me tell you, it is a lifestyle. More hair appointments, longer showers, and special shampoo. But it is totally worth it!

1. Mentally preparing yourself to convince your hair dresser that white is the way to go.

2. Or the anxiety of what could go wrong by bleaching your hair at home.

3. You could either become a ginger

4. Or a pixie

5. The face you make in the mirror when you take off your towel to unveil the perfect white strands.

6. Taking a million selfies the day you bleached it, because you know your roots will be back in literally 2 days.

7. Having to get bangs or a big chop because your hair is so damaged.

8. Having orange highlights in between touch-ups.

9. Going out for a drink afterwards to debut your updated look.

10 Things About Finals Week

Finals: just thinking about them gives you anxiety. Only two weeks separate you from summer, but they're the longest of the semester. There's a familiarity to this season, now that you have had so many testing cycles under your belt. But that doesn't quell the ever present stress to pass your finals and your classes. Even better, as a package deal during these wonderful weeks, you get to wake up early to study and you get to take exams that can begin anytime from 7 A.M. to 7 P.M. Now that we have established that this week is not fun, here are some super relatable moments that punctuate finals week.

10 Little White Lies You Tell Your Parents In College

"Uh? Eating? Am I Eating? Yeah..."

I've been at this college thing for almost three and a half years, and while I thought that high school was truly the lowest point of my existence, I'm beginning to realize that it was a walk in the park. Like, I miss the days when the biggest white lie I told my parents was my made up excuse about being late for fourth period. These days, the white lies are a tad more complex, and as ashamed as I am to admit it, I've definitely told a few of these.
