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

The Battle Between College And My Mental Health

College isn't easy, and I'm afraid I'm not going to make it at the rate my mental health is going.

Everyone tells you that college is hard, but they fail to explain why. Sure, classes are hard. Math sucks, and political science can be so boring. But that's not even what's killing me about college. What's killing me about college is my deterioating mental health.

As a college student, I feel as if people don't understand just how exhausted I, and fellow college students are. We have so many things going on, all the time, and sometimes it's hard to explain to people how we feel. Personally...I'm tired. I'm sad. And I'm struggling every single day with my emotions. But the thing is, it hasn't always been this way. I haven't always hated school, so why am I feeling like this now?

I probably should have learned to say no to adding more to my schedule a long time ago, but instead here are 11 things that can be more helpful than coffee.

Resting b***h face. Defined as a person, usually a girl, who naturally looks mean when her face is expressionless, without meaning to. Many of you suffer from this "condition." You are commonly asked what's wrong, when nothing is. What people don't know is that is just your facial expression. Here are some things they wish you knew.
