The person you live with better be someone you can handle almost every second of every day. If not, good luck.

But, if you're lucky enough to have a roommate you love, then no worries. These are attributes every great roommate has...do you have one?

1. Listens to you about your day

I just need like 10 solid minutes to vent about my rude teacher or stupid project or horrible test grade that I just got. All you have to do is nod and frown. Thanks, much appreciated.

2. Helps you pick out your outfits

A good roommate always has a good fashion sense. It's always nice to have a personal stylist live two inches away.

"Does this match?"

"Do you like this shirt with these pants?"

3. Lets you borrow their clothes

"You know that really cute shirt you just bought...yeah, I might need to borrow that...like now..."

4. Gives you medicine when you are sick

Thank you for being my mom while she's miles away.

5. Brings you back food

There is no better feeling than when your roommate knows exactly what you order. For everything. Ugh, she spoils me.

6. Tells you when you should possibly brush your hair before you leave the room

"Um... you might want to fix... whatever is going on with your hair..."

7. Isn’t afraid to tell you when you look terrible

"You better not walk out the door like that. Put on the white shirt. You don't even match right now." The sound of love.

8. Has movie nights together

Sorry, we are the cutest roommates ever. No, you can not join.

9. Calms you down when you are stressed

Again, thanks for being my mom for now. I really did need that hug. You get me.

10. Always has your back

I wouldn't trade you for anyone. Thank you for always being there when I need you and for dealing with me when I'm annoying.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
