Apologies And Thanks To My Freshman Year Roommate

kari

The day I got my college acceptance letter was easily one of the best days of my life up to that point. I immediately started imagining all of the experiences I would have, and all of the ways that I could get involved on campus. The experience of living in a dorm though was the one that I was most excited about.

After much convincing, I finally got a friend from high school to apply to Saint Leo university. I am so happy I decided to because when she got accepted as well, I was more than thrilled. When it came time to pick roommates, we talked about it and finally decided that we could room together.As I just completed my freshman year I realized that I was so thankful that I got to spend my first year in a dorm with one of my closest friends.

However, there are some things I need to thank you for, but also some that I need to apologize for.

1. Thank you for always putting up with my incessant talking

Even when I am almost certain you wanted to just tell me to be quiet for once.

2. Thank You for the late night food runs

Everyone knows that burgers taste better at 2 a.m.

3. Sorry for always eating your Cheetos.

They were really good, to be honest.

4. Sorry for always coming back to the dorm so late.

That cat is an actual representation of you when I would walk in at three in the morning. Dirty look and all.

5. Sorry for barreling out of the room in the morning leaving a mess in my wake every time.

I was always in a rush

7. Sorry for always dragging you to events you usually did not want to go to.

I think you secretly had fun though.

8. Thank you for all the advice.

Even if it was unsolicited.

9. Sorry for leaving my craft stuff all over the place (including your side of the room)

I felt like your side was easier to do my crafts on.

10. Sorry for all the glitter (that usually stuck to your face)

I am addicted I cant help it.

11. Sorry for getting paint all over not one rug but two.

I really am sorry for that

12. Thank you for making every night feel like a sleepover.

13. Thank you for your hair that was all over the floor

If you couldn't tell that was sarcastic

14. Sorry for watching the same TV show for hours on end.

I had to know what happens next

15. Thank you for making sure my fish didn't die

I don't know why i could never remember to feed them,I hope they will last next year without you.

16. Sorry for the craziness you had to experience throughout my recruitment week

So many emotions mixed with no sleep, not the most roommate friendly combination

17. Most of all thank you for being you and spending freshman year as my roommate.

Even though you drove me crazy more often than not, I will miss you so much next year.

Anticipating The End Of Your First Semester, As Told By April Ludgate

"I don't want to do things. I want to not do things."

National Writers Society

NBC Universal

Everyone who is in college right now, or has ever been, knows the struggle of pulling in the strings at the last second. It seems impossible, and you have to do a LOT of things in order to assure your future for the next semester.

April Ludgate, historically, is a very annoyed person, and she doesn't hide it. Of all the times that I binged and re-binged "Parks and Rec," her attitude relates more and more to me.

To The Cheerful Person On Their Rainy Days, You Are Valid

The world is not always sunshine and rainbows, and you do not have to be, either.

Ask friends of mine to name a quality about me, and one a lot them will point out the fact that I am almost always smiling. I like to laugh and smile -- not to quote Buddy the Elf in April, but smiling is my favorite! It is probably my favorite go-to expression. However, what a lot of people do not see is that I have my down days. I have days when smiling and laughing is a real struggle, or when I have so much on my plate that going out of my way to behappy takes more effort than I have stored in me. Be it a symptom of college and growing up or a facet of life, I cannot always be content.

"I don't want to do things. I want to not do things."

1. When you look at the syllabus and realize there are only three weeks of the semester left; even though the first day was LITERALLY yesterday.

2. You look at your grades and realize they probably aren't as high as they should be, which is a terrifying realization.

3. When you think to yourself at night, "tomorrow, I will wake up early and go to the library ALL day, and, hell, maybe after I'll go to the gym for a little bit, just to push myself that extra mile."

4. Tomorrow actually comes. The inevitable and overpowering sense of procrastination is too strong to overcome.

5. But you DO end up going to the library. Not all day though, but still, a while. But no, you do not go to the gym. Still, you made an effort, so you decide to treat yo' self.

6. When you realize you need to schedule a meeting with your adviser because you need to sign up for classes next semester. But you also realize that since you waited until the last minute, you're going to get stuck with all of the crappy classes.

7. When you low-key try to slip into conversation with your professors that you need extra credit because you're that desperate.

8. When it's already the third time you've seen your adviser in two days because you have no damn clue what you're doing and need all the help you can get.

9. When you apply for a job associated with your major even though you have no experience, but you just want to dive headfirst into the deep end of adulthood and get it over with.

The world is not always sunshine and rainbows, and you do not have to be, either.

It would be so much easier to just pay someone to do it for you

1. Figuring out when to start

2. Searching through list after list to get everything you need

3. Shopping for deals

4. Getting bins to put everything in

5. Figuring what you can’t live without

6. Going through clothes to find what you need

7. Finding out your siblings took something from you

8. Fighting with your parents.

9. Trying to plan things with your roommate

10. The fear of forgetting something

11. Move in day

Relatable moments from one of the best shows I have ever watched.

1. When you fail that midterm you studied so hard for.

2. When your crush finally texts back.

3. When payday comes around.

4. When you accidentally like someone's picture from 108 weeks ago.

5. When someone takes your unassigned assigned seat.

6. When your favorite character in your favorite TV series dies.

7. When that guy/girl you’ve been crushing on agrees to go on a date with you.

8. When you have so much to do, and such little motivation to do it.

9. When someone asks for your last fry.

10. When you try a new health-food craze.

11. When you get new clothing.

12. When you check your bank account.

13. When they're serving good food in the dining hall.

14. When someone tries to tell you what to do.
