Dear Childhood Bedroom,

I miss you. A lot. My college experience is not going to be the same without you. Believe me, the beds here are not near as comfortable as the one you provided. Also, the white walls here are killing me. I will miss being able to paint you whenever you needed a facelift and I loved redecorating you. I will miss the spacious closet you provided me with, as well as the roomy dresser. All my little mementos and memories are stashed within your small square footage. You were a part of me for so long, and believe me, I will never forget you.

I want to thank you for being there for me through every big change in my life. You witnessed a lot in my eighteen years. I want to thank you for providing me comfort, warmth, and refuge. You were somewhere to go when I was feeling down, or when I just wanted a break from a chaotic day. You were there in my happy times, and for all the sleepovers and giggles in my life. Your four walls hold my deepest secrets and fears. You watched me change from a child to an adult and you comforted me day in and day out. I am forever grateful to you for that.

You hosted the best fashion shows, concerts, and facial bars in the world. You saw a ton of fights that I had with my sister over clothes but you also got to see the two of us have some of our most memorable moments there too. You have really been my closest friend, it is kind of weird to not see you everyday. I cannot wait to see you again on breaks and in the summertime though!

I'll miss you so much. As sad as I am to have to let you go, I am also really excited to make some new memories in my new, small, white dorm room. It is time to let you go but I want you to know that you will forever be my favorite.

Love,

Me.

P.S.

If my little siblings try to haggle mom and dad to let them take you from me, don't let it happen.

6 Signs You Are An English Major

There are various stereotypes about college students, most of which revolve around the concept of your major. Unfortunately, we often let stereotypes precede our own judgments, and we take what information is immediately available to us rather than forming our own opinions after considerable reflection. If I got a dollar for every time my friends have made a joke about my major I could pay my tuition. One stereotype on campus is the sensitive, overly critical and rigid English major. Here are six telltale signs you are one of them.

"The Office" is a mockumentary based on everyday office life featuring love triangles, silly pranks and everything in between. It can get pretty crazy for just an average day at the office.

When you were little, your parents probably told you television makes your brain rot so you wouldn't watch it for twelve straight hours. However, I feel we can learn some pretty valuable stuff from television shows. "The Office," while a comedy, has some pretty teachable moments thrown in there. You may not know how to react in a situation where a co-worker does something crazy (like put your office supplies in jello) but thanks to "The Office," now you'll have an idea how to behave ifsomething like that should happen.

Here are just a few of the things that religious Office watchers can expect to learn.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

Books were always about understanding for me, about learning the way someone else sees, about connection.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

I keep making this joke whenever the idea of books is brought up: "God, I wish I knew how to read." It runs parallel to another stupid phrase, as I watch my friends struggle through their calculus classes late at night in our floor lounge: "I hope this is the year that I learn to count." They're both truly idiotic expressions, but, when I consider the former, I sometimes wonder if there's some truth to it.

One Book Made Me Question Existence In Its Entirety

"The Stranger" by Albert Campus touches upon many heavy elements... but not in the way you expect. Although it touches upon the aspects of death and love, it also deals with a hidden philosophy similar to that of nihilism.

The story follows the short life events of Meursault, a Frenchman whose carelessness for his actions eventually ends him in jail and dependent on a jury of people to judge the ethicality of his decision and the punishment that he deserves. He eventually gets the death penalty and all throughout he is nonchalant and almost apathetic towards his situation. He finally snaps when the prison sends a priest to him to absolve him of his sins and to cajole him in confessing to the lord.
