An Open Letter To The Best Roomie

College can be scary, but with a roomie as amazing as mine, it's a piece of cake.

The sweet smell of spring is in the air and "Senioritis" is in full swing. College applications are finally over and the new stress is all about finding the perfect college roommate, which thankfully, I did.

Hey roomie,

If you’re reading this, I love you. There’s no one else I would want to spend my first year in college with and I can’t express enough how lucky I am that you slid on into my Instagram Dms. Most people say that the transition into college life is rocky at best, but with you by my side, it was smooth sailing (once we finished rushing of course). Having a stranger become your roommate and then become your best friend is the best possible scenario in my mind for a college roomie.

They say college is hard, and they’re definitely not wrong, but with a friend like you, everything is simple. Waking up to you yelling at me to go to class, and going to bed with you still yelling at me to stop sending you creepy clown memes is a blessing a half. I know that wherever I go in my life, you’ll still be my sister and my best friend, and for that I am forever grateful. Besides, who else would listen to the same songs on repeat with me and who else would Milly rock with me to classical music? I mean, seriously, I don’t know anyone else who could fill your (Adidas) shoes. I also don’t know anyone who would make playlists for every possible mood or feeling that someone could have, or make Trillers with me to every possible Austin Mahone song.

Needless to say, you’re my person. You’re the Christina Yang to my Meredith Grey and the Blair Waldorf to my Serena Van Der Woodsen and I can’t express in just this letter how thankful I am for that. So, roomie, lover, sister, friend, thank you. Thank you for making me laugh and for not laughing when I cry. Thank you for coming with me to get food and for ordering cookies and ice cream for me at 11 pm when I need it most. Thank you for sliding into my Dm’s, thank you for playing bomb ass music, and thank you for being you.

Sincerely,

Me

This is for the girls who have dealt with an emotionally, mentally, physically or verbally abusive father.

The ones who have grown up with a false lens of what love is and how relationships should be. The ones who have cried themselves to sleep wondering why he hurts you and your family so much. This is for all the girls who fall in love with broken boys that carry baggage bigger than their own, thinking it's their job to heal them because you watched your mother do the same.

Blair Waldorf Quote
"DESTINY IS FOR LOSERS. IT'S JUST A STUPID EXCUSE TO WAIT FOR THINGS TO HAPPEN INSTEAD OF MAKING THEM HAPPEN." - BLAIR WALDORF.

The world stopped in 2012 when our beloved show "Gossip Girl" ended. For six straight years, we would all tune in every Monday at 9:00 p.m. to see Upper Eastside royalty in the form of a Burberry headband clad Blair Waldorf. Blair was the big sister that we all loved to hate. How could we ever forget the epic showdowns between her and her frenemy Serena Van Der Woodsen? Or the time she banished Georgina Sparks to a Christian summer camp? How about that time when she and her girls took down Bart Bass? Blair is life. She's taught us how to dress, how to be ambitious, and most importantly, how to throw the perfect shade.

too tired to care

We've all been there. From move-in day to the first finals week in college, your first term is an adventure from start to finish. In honor of college decisions coming out recently, I want to recap some of the most common experiences college freshmen experience.

1. The awkward hellos on move-in day.

You're moving your stuff onto your floor, and you will encounter people you don't know yet in the hallway. They live on your floor, so you'll awkwardly smile and maybe introduce yourself. As you walk away, you will wonder if they will ever speak to you again, but don't worry, there's a good chance that you will make some great friends on your floor!
