A Letter to my Roommate

As freshman year is winding down and summer is so close we can just taste it, it's easy to forget some of the important aspects of your year. You're so focused on the plans you need to make to earn some major cash in the summer or thinking about how you are going to decorate your house next year. So, let's just take a minute and send a little shout-out to someone who has seen your best, your worst and your most embarrassing self.

Your roommate.

The year started out with such excitement as you waited to see what was in store for the next 12 months. Whether you went random or knew the girl you were rooming with, you braced yourself for the best and the worst. To readers who had bad luck going random, I am deeply sorry. Things will get better next year. But to the readers whose luck was on fleek, I'm sure you get where I am coming from in this letter of thanks.

Roomie,

Thank you for putting up with me during this very crazy year. We both had no idea what to expect when coming to university. Safe to say, we were surprised at some situations that presented themselves to us. But no matter what happened, I knew you were there to help me out regardless of the situation.

You listened to my stories of absurd mistakes made throughout the week (tripping up stairs in front of everyone in Bracken) and the stories of my past years in high school. When girls were being the biggest bishes, you helped me forget the stupidity and move on to work on homework.

When stress piled up, you let me cry. You didn't mind if I played some ghetto music or Christian dance tunes. You gave me advice that I can put into my life for a very long while. And since guys are usually clueless and stupid,you gave me answers to make sure I was putting myself first instead of letting a douche bag ruin my week.

Safe to say too, you've been my motivator to get sh*t done and succeed in what I do.

I'm sorry for being really difficult more times than I should have been and being really annoying when I couldn't get over a stupid guy...

Just know that my freshman year wouldn't have been the same without you as my roommate. Our little cell that is our home away from home will always hold a special place in my heart. We've laughed, cried, danced, talked, and most importantly, learned lessons to help us grow.

And while we may living in separate places next year, I just want to thank you so much for everything you've done for me.

So here's a shout-out to you. roomie! Keep being as flawless as ever.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.
