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

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
