To my First Roommate,

I am and will forever be thankful for you. In just nine months, you became one of my closest friends. You have seen me at my best and my worst. So I thought I should thank you for everything you've done for me.

1. Thank you for putting up with my mess.

I know that I am not the cleanest person out there, but not one time did you complain when my clothes were all over the floor.

2. Thank you for sharing my love of all things Disney.

There is no one else that I would want to sing the Beauty and the Beast soundtrack at 11 p.m. with.

3. Thank you for listening to all of my daily/nightly rants.

I am not sure what I would have done if you hadn't been willing to listen to me rant about the various things that happened on a particular day, so an extra thank you for that!

4. Thank you for sharing your food with me.

You saved me many trips to the store and I am forever thankful for that!

5. Thank you for always wishing me good luck.

You never failed to wish my good luck on tests and interviews. I'm really going to miss those next year.

6. Thank you for sharing school supplies with me.

Just like the food, you saved my butt many times just by lending me a pencil. My grades are thankful for you.

7. Thank you for putting up all of my alarms.

Most people cannot stand how many alarms I set in the morning so thank you for not being like most.

8. Thank you for bringing me toilet paper when we ran out.

Countless times I ran out of toilet paper and you were always there to the rescue. You're like a real-life superhero!

9. Thank you for ugly crying with me while watching Nicholas Sparks movies.

We all need a friend who is willing to that with us. Now we know how many boxes of tissues we need.

10. Thank you for picking me up after I got a bad grade.

Those days meant more to me than you will ever know.

11. Thank you for not judging me for not doing my laundry every week.

Never did you make a nasty face when I said I wasn't doing laundry. You understood how obnoxious it was to walk down two flights of steps to actually do it and knew I was too lazy to do it most weeks.

12. Thank you for being my personal stylist.

You and I both know I know little about fashion. So thank you for putting up with the constant, "you sure this looks okay?" questions.

13. Thank you for letting me borrow clothes.

Again you were a superhero and lifesaver in that department too!

14. Most importantly, thank you for making the college transition so much better!

Without you, I don't know if I would have been able to get through this year. You have quickly become like the sister that I never had. I know there are so many things that I could thank you for and I'll just send you a text when I think of them! I can't wait to see where life takes us!

With Much Love,

Your First Roommate

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?

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.
