A Letter To My College Roommate

Dear Roomie,

First of all, I want to thank you first of all for having the patience to live with me, and secondly, I want to thank you for being you. I know this is going to probably be the cheesiest thing you ever read, but you are honestly the sister I never had and I’m truly blessed to have you in my life.

We’ve for sure had our run-ins from time to time, whether it be boys in the room, being more loud and obnoxious than usually (mostly me), or, heck, even just stupid little things like each of our messes getting in the way of each other. I’m sure there are many many more things I have done that I’m not aware of that are definitely worse than the things listed above and for all those things that I’m sure I’ve done. I just want to say I’m sorry. I’m sorry. I’m sorry. I’m sorry. I know you hate it when I apologize all the time, but you are one of the kindest, bravest, most deserving people I know and you deserve way better than me as your roommate, so, yeah, I'm gonna apologize. But I do hope you know that I love you so much because I really do even if it doesn't seem like it all the time.

Now that the semester of our freshman year is coming to an end, I’m looking back on our year and wish I could have been a bit more considerate of you, and I really don’t know how you have the patience to live with me. Spending summer without you everyday is honestly going to be so awful. I expect a FaceTime call at least once a week and I hope you know that even though we’ll be apart for a good three months that you can count on me to drive out of my way to come help you with anything you might need. I love you so much and I guess it’s cool that you’ll be my roommate again next year too! Remember that you are kind, brave, and deserving and that everyone deserves to have a friend like you!

Sincerely,

Your Roommate

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!
