An Open Letter To My Freshman Roommate

To my freshman roommate,

Thanks. Thank you for being my first friend in the scary place we call college. From early mornings to late nights, you were always there. Whenever I came home from class or practice, I knew I had someone I could vent to. You know me better than anyone, mainly because I talk in my sleep. But you were there those late nights I got home sick, you were there after my injuries, you were always there. You were my mother, therapist, and friend all wrapped in one. Now, I know its been a few years since we’ve lived together but you still seem to be relevant in my life. You are my best friend, you have become my sister. You are there early mornings when I want to get breakfast and there for the late nights that I want to go out and also force me to do my homework (which I hate). They say college is a scary place but when you have a great roommate you get through it a lot better. There have been highs and lows in our friendship, but I am confident you will always be there. So throughout the next few years when we are trying to figure out what we are doing with our lives I’m glad to know you’ll always be there for me. College is where you find your bridesmaids and I have found mine.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
