A Letter To My Roommates As We Leave For Winter Break

Because even during the busiest time of the year, you'll miss your roommate.

Going into this year, I wasn't sure how close we were going to get or even what our room or the inside of our building looked like. I did know that I would be rooming with my roommate from last year, who is now like a sister to me, and that's all I needed.

After moving in, it wasn't bad; our dorm was small but eccentric and we had a nice room. The first couple weeks in, it was weird only because me and my roommate were living with someone else and it wasn't just the two of us anymore.

Now when I say weird, I mean it was awkward — more for our third roommate than anything. I apologize for the fact that we did not know you as well and that our relationship was already built and that we have a weird relationship and it was probably very awkward to watch. But you dealt with it and got used to it. And soon we all got to know each other, and luckily you are as strange as me and her both are so it probably wasn't really that awkward seeing how we act.

But since then, things are definitely different than it was at the beginning of the semester. The awkward silences have now turned into comfortable silences, and we are all used to the weird things and habits that each of us have. As much as I love living alone with Anita, I am glad that you are our third roommate. Seriously, like out of all the bad roommate horror stories I've heard and seen what people deal with, you are nowhere close to that.

We all got to know each other and have a good system at how things are in the room. So from our random unplanned naps, to staying up late writing papers, or the weird frustrating noises that we make when we are cleaning or procrastinating work, to the random outburst of laughs because we saw something funny on our phone, and everything else in between, we don't even question it at this point. I am glad that we can because I think I can speak for all of us when I say that we were nervous at what to expect when it came to rooming together. Since all of that is behind us and we now laugh at everything from memes, weird outbursts, and nothing at all, it is a little saddening that winter break is coming.

But only slightly saddening. We'll all be busy with work, the holidays, and family, and probably not text or talk to each other most of the time, and be too busy to miss each other. But we'll miss each other in the small moments where something we see reminds us of each other, or when we are bored in our room and have no one to bug (sorry Anita, love you). But we will all actually miss each other when we see each other again and get back to living together and think, how was I not bored during break not living with them?

So to my roommates as we go home and on break, I love you both. You both are amazing and I am so lucky to be able to have you guys as roommates and not have to deal with living with a crazy psychopath. Well, sort of, but Anita is a good kind of crazy and I wouldn't want her any other way. I am going to miss you both over break and I can't wait to see both of you again.

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

College is an endless cycle of crappy, sleepless nights, tedious, boring lectures, and hours of never-ending piles of homework.

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.
