Apologies And Thanks To My Freshman Year Roommate

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.

Friendship. It's defined as the state of being attached to another person by feelings of affection or personal regard, but what really is friendship? Is it that occasional hallway talk with that one person who always manages to cheer you up? Is it that relationship you have with someone where they can be gone for a long period of time, but when they come back, it's like they never left? Is it spending every waking hour with someone, and knowing every detail about their life? Is it the relationship that's filled with fighting, but filled with even more resolution? I've learned that it's all of these things, and every friendship is different. It's a beautifully dysfunctional mess that should always be cherished and never be taken for granted.
