An Apology To My Freshman Roommate

You weren't so bad after all.

Long Lost Roommate,

Most of these things usually start off with a bunch of thank you's or some sort of reminiscing. This isn't the case today. Today, I'd like to give you my most sincerest apology.

I know how much of a clean freak you are and how one of your fears was that I'd be a complete slob. Sorry for making that fear a reality. I know my lack of cleaning, taking out the trash and making my bed must have been annoying for you. Especially having to look at my abundance of shoes that covered the floor under my bed. And to justify my unmade bed, your bed wasn't lofted so you don't understand the struggles of having to make a bed that is lofted five feet in the air. The struggle was real whenever I attempted the chore.

Along with that I want to apologize for the countless times our room was turned into a beauty shop. I know the dorms are no place for cutting hair, but sometimes, our friends get impatient and wouldn't take no for an answer. Their hair was everywhere and sometimes the floor got so wet we needed a caution sign. Oh, I can't forget how Smith 821's beauty shop liked to strictly play Luke Bryan Radio. I know how much you dislike country music. But music that sounds like it's straight from the hood isn't the most professional at times.

One of my biggest apologies has to be for always causing noise complaints. Constantly having the police, RA and RD knock on the door because I watch "Keeping Up With The Kardashians" loudly isn't cool. I'm not sure how one can watch TV loud enough to get a noise complaint when we never got complaints from our weekend jam sessions, but as we know, it's possible. Oh yeah, that one time I got a noise complaint for screaming bloody murder, sorry for that too.

My last apology comes from the heart. It's the last thing I'm sorry for and I hope you accept. The amount of times I put a song on repeat while playing it on the "Beats Pill," was not acceptable. We listened to "One Dance," "Pop Style," "Come And See Me" and numerous other songs too many times. Sometimes I'm not sure how you put up with my terrible DJ skills and never complained. I also want to throw in a little sorry for the countless times I paused a song, rewound it and then played it again so I could Snapchat myself singing it with a weird filter on my face.

I miss you and I can't wait for the continued movie nights in the fall.

Love,

Muhris

25 Thoughts Everyone Has When Registering For Classes

May the odds be ever in your favor.

Creating your schedule for the upcoming semester can be an exciting process. You have the control to decide if you want to have class two-days a week or five-days a week. You get to check things off of your requirement checklist. It's an opportunity for a fresh start with new classes (which you tell yourself you'll never skip.) This process, which always starts out so optimistic, can get frustrating really quickly. Here are 25 thoughts you have when registering for classes.

10 Thoughts Of A 5th Year Senior

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

"College will be the best four years of your life" is a phrase that we have all heard growing up. College is painted as a magical place to us while we are in high school. A place you go to learn, meet your best friends and probably have the time of your life while all of this is going down. Four whirlwind years, where everything that you've known changes and you start to learn what it means to live on your own, have a job, etc. But what about those of us who don't do this all in four years? Major changes, hard courses, switching schools, career paths changing, these are just a handful of factors that could extend your four years to five, six or seven. There is nothing wrong with taking extra time to graduate, but returning as a fifth-year is a little different. Most of your best friends have most likely graduated and moved and while you may be one of the oldest undergraduates on campus, you might feel as awkward as a freshmen. A world that became home and comfortable to you is still there but it's slightly different than you've known it to be and you have to find a groove to fall into. These are thoughts you'll have as you look ahead to returning to your college campus, with a victory lap planned.

You can't say that no one told you life was gonna be this way.

In the 12 years since it went off the air, "Friends" continues to be adored by millions. The show that gave generations unrealistic expectations about love (or should I say lobsters?) and New York City apartments had a charming cast of characters that everyone could relate to at some point or another. Here are 17 times Ross, Monica, Joey, Chandler, Phoebe and Rachel accurately described life.

Aubrey Plaza is one of my favorite humans in Hollywood. She's honest, blunt, unapologetic, and hilarious. I just started my sophomore year of college, and found that some of her best moments can accurately describe the start of the school year.
