A Letter to My Three Roommates

You are my family away from home and I cannot ask for a better family.

Hey y'all,

I wanted to write this letter to tell you I appreciate all of you. When we first decided to move-in together, we were all so excited and now that the excitement has worn off and we have officially moved in, I wanted to say a few things.

First, I am sorry. I am sorry for all the times I will ask you to braid my hair. I am sorry for all the times I forget to flush the toilet and for the amount of hair I will shed. I am sorry for all the times I will interrupt your study sessions with the latest drama in my life. I am sorry for constantly texting you asking where you are because I am bored and alone in the room. I am sorry for all the times I will annoy you with my loud and obnoxious tendency to laugh at everything. I am sorry for my choice of Netflix movie and for finishing the season without you. I am sorry for the mornings I absolutely need your opinion on my outfit and throw a fit when I cannot find something. I am sorry for my random meltdowns when something does not go my way.

I am sorry for all of this, but more importantly, I am grateful for you putting up with it. I am thankful that whenever I need a shoulder to cry on, you are there. I am thankful for the times you make me coffee when I am stressed. I am thankful for your patience while I try outfit after outfit on. I am thankful you did my dishes and thankful you made dinner. I am thankful you put up with my crazy stories and my insane laughter. Thank you for always replying to me when I need you and for letting me in the building when I left my key in our room. Thank you for being my official plus 1 or plus 2 when I do not want to go somewhere alone. Thank you for the late nights of laughter and friendship. Thank you for searching through the dorm when I can't find something. Thank you for always being there.

There will be times where you hate me and wish I would just leave you alone. There will be times when I feel that way too. There will also be times when you feel like you are burdening me, but let me assure you that you are not. I love your presence and I love your unique personalities. You are my family away from home and I cannot ask for a better family.

With much love,

Your friend

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
