A Goodbye Letter To My First Roommate

Can you just live under my bed next year?

A Goodbye Letter To My First Roommate
Alyssa Tite

Dear Roomie,

Freshman year is coming to an end, can you believe it? Our sweet little dorm room is about to be emptied out, wiped clean of all of our memories and given to a new set of freshman eager to embark on their college career. These memories may be emptied from this room, but they will never be emptied from my heart.

I'm going to miss our late night conversations in the dark about nothing. Even though most of the time I doze off while you're talking. Thanks, again, for not getting mad about that. It's these little conversations that remind me that you're more than just my roommate... You are my absolute best friend.

I'm going to miss doing everything with you. We walk to class together, get ready together, ride to chapter together, make poor food choices together, etc. You really are my other half. Please don't be mad when I call you next year and ask you to come over and order pizza with me. Even though we're going to be one year older, it doesn't mean we're going to be one year wiser.

I'm going to miss your antics. You're the silliest, happiest, brightest person I've ever met. Being all alone in my apartment bedroom with no one to sing to, make jokes to or take stupid pictures of is going to be weird. Can you just live under my bed?

I'm going to miss having a built-in social worker. You've helped me through breakups, exams, sleepless nights and so much more. You've told me when my outfit looked stupid, and also told me when I looked absolutely smoking hot. You've brought me up when I was down and kept me up when I was up. Thank you so much for that.

Most of all, I'm going to miss us. We are young, naive freshman. We have so many responsibilities ahead of us. I'm going to miss being young and crazy with you. Promise me we'll be a package deal forever, even when we're big, bad sophomores?

Sincerely,

Your roommate

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

10 Reasons To Thank Your Best Friend

Take the time to thank that one friend in your life you will never let go of.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Everybody gets sick once in a while, but getting sick while in college is the absolute worst. You're away from home and your mom who can take care of you and all you really want to do is just be in your own bed. You feel like you will have never-ending classwork to catch up on if you miss class, so you end up going sick and then it just takes longer to get better. Being sick in college is really tough and definitely not a fun experience. Here are the 15 stages that everyone ends up going through when they are sick at college.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
