An Open Letter to My Roommate

Living with someone can make or break a friendship, but living with you has only proven the strength our friendship has.

An Open Letter to My Roommate

To My Amazing Roommate,

When I first moved into my dorm, I had this idea that my roommates and I would be lifelong friends. I blame all of the cheesy early 2000's movies I watched, because the college roommates in those movies always got along.

As you know, that's definitely not the relationship I had with my first set of roommates. They were less than spectacular, but when I moved in with you I finally got the kind of roommate every girl dreams of having in college.

I'm so thankful I can live with someone that supports me in everything I do. Whether it's supporting my career path or the crazy things I do in school, you push me to be the best version of myself and you make sure I get my stuff done. You support my makeup obsession and my love home decor.

I know I can be a handful sometimes and my obsessive tendencies about the dishes is probably very annoying. But you love me anyways. The nights when both of us are home and we can just watch movies together and catch up are nights that I'll always remember.

Thank you for helping with me through my heart break and making sure I always know that I'm better than some boy who doesn't want me. There are times when I think I'm fine and then all of a sudden the pain hits me like a bus. But you're always there to help me and remind me that I'm better off without him. And sometimes you yell at me for even mentioning him because you know I need to hear it.

Thank you for going on random shopping adventures with me and always being up to share a pizza with me. Let's face it, college sucks and there are those nights when all you want is pizza. Even at 3:00 in the morning. You support my 3am pizza needs and that's a special quality.

Thank you for taking care of me when I'm sick and for making sure I always go to class/work. Despite my love for sleep. Thank you for embracing my love of not wearing pants and for only laughing at me for a little bit when you come home to me in an outrageous face mask.

Thank you for watching hours of Say Yes To The Dress and Jersey Shore with me and loving every minute of it. Thank you for sharing my love of throwback music and dancing with me to Jesse McCartney on a Tuesday night instead of doing our homework (which we usually regret later but it's too much fun not to do).

I never had a sister but living with you feels like I finally got one, as disgustingly lame as that sounds. We get on each others nerves, no doubt, but we have one hell of a time together and that's what having a roommate is supposed to be like.

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.
