Dear Roommate That I Am Missing This Summer

Knowing we may be hundreds of miles away just shows we are still truly there for each other.

Dear Roommate That I Am Missing This Summer

Of course my summer has been great, visiting my other friends and family, but it just isn’t the same without you. Every time I am in my room I expect someone else to be with me. When I leave the house it was usually with you. Can you tell I miss you yet?

My first week at home, I kept saying your name. When I woke up every morning, I expected you to be there and when I was leaving I expected to say bye. But you aren’t there, you aren’t here. I miss waking up to your snores, I miss waking you up by jumping on your bed. Summer is hard not having you here with me. No matter how many times I annoy you over and over, I kept doing it. The thing is you never got mad at me, instead you reacted just like me. That’s the thing, we were so alike in a variety of different ways. Honestly, I developed a sister and I want her to come home.

Remember our nights lying in bed just talking, or when I would sing to you? I would make up the weirdest songs to make you laugh, but more importantly to make memories. That’s what I miss. I enjoyed going to bed every night with a roommate and a simple smile on my face. Now I go to bed after work, all tired and stressed, to wake up and do it all over again. Where are you when I need you?!

When something huge happens I want to tell you. When I meet a boy, I want to tell you how cute he or how much I hated him, or even those nights I just need to vent to you. I am missing your smart remarks, and your comments to make me smile when I am down. I miss your silly jokes, and the way you would get excited to see me every time.

I have trouble with some of my own responsibilities, you were always reminding me not to forget something, or do something. Well, I have been forgetting…A lot. This is why college sucks, because you develop a relationship for a year and then having to go three months without that person just stinks!

Technology can help with the communication, but it just isn’t the same. I want to hear your goofy laugh again, maybe summer is good, because I can come visit you. Roomie, we have so much to talk about, so much that has already happened and I want to tell you it all. There is so much you are missing out on, so much I am missing out on, but that’s okay. It gives us another thing to learn about each other, it gives us something to talk about. But more importantly it gives me a reason to call you my best friend, and my roommate. Knowing we may be hundreds of miles away just shows we are still truly there for each other. I miss you, and I can’t wait to see you again!

Thank gosh, this summer is only temporarily, because my life wouldn’t be full without you forever.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
