An Open Letter To My Roommate

Thanks for the fun, the laughs, the support, and the chocolate chip pancakes.

An Open Letter To My Roommate
Her Campus

Dear Brianna,

Over the past 4 months of being roommates, it has been full of fun, laughs and support. When we decided to be roommates we didn’t know each other very well, but I have been so fortunate to get to know you. Now that we have been together for this adventure, I cannot imagine living with anyone else. Thank you for always being there with a smile and putting up with all of my craziness.

At first neither of us really knew what we were getting into, just that we were new AGD sisters with a shared love of band and The Flash. Once we moved in together, it was obvious that we make great roommates. I’m lucky to have found a friend who is just as weird and geeky as I am, with a love of BBC shows, Marvel, reading, musicals, etc. We had our “Did we just become best friends” moment almost as soon as we moved in when we realized we were in almost all of the same fandoms. Something brought us together and now I don’t think anything can tear us apart. Not even if The Doctor decided only one of us could travel with him. Actually maybe not. Sorry, not sorry.

It doesn’t feel like we have been living together for 4 months, but it really has been a full semester. There’s been weekends of adventure where we go out and do fun things for a change. We have had lots of nights of homework and stressing where we somehow manage to pull through. Thank you for helping me relax and take a few seconds to just chill. We watched a lot of DC shows, and a lot of Netflix. Plus a lot of chocolate chip pancakes.

You are my mom away from home, you take care of me even though you don’t have to. Making sure I don’t stay out too late, and I eat enough food. And the right food, some of the time anyway. Asking how my day went, or what I have to do for the rest of the night. Its nice to have someone that looks out for me. Thank you for caring for me, even when I don’t realize I need it.

I don’t know how you put up with me, I am definitely not an easy person. I laugh way too much and way too loud. I snore. I never leave my bed. Sometimes I have a little bit too much energy (if an awake bar happens to affect me badly), or too little. Sometimes you can be a handful though, too. Like those nights when it's 2 am and you can’t stop talking. But it's not just you, it's both of us, babbling in our giddy, giggly voices, exhausted but so giggly we have talk it out.

Having someone there to always have a laugh, or a cry with makes a big difference when I am stressed out and panicking. I hope that I make as much as a difference in your life as you do in mine. Thank you for being one of my best friends, and the best roommate a girl could ask for.

Thanks for sticking with me for so long and being such an incredible friend. I cannot wait to see what the rest of our roommate years have in store.

Loyally,

Your Loving and Annoying Roommate

Bucket List To Live In The Now

Find excitement in your life and start exploring wherever you are right here, right now.

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2023, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

If you go to or went to Kent State, then more than likely you have done or will do some of these things.

1. You’ve slipped and fallen on the ice at least once.

The winters at Kent are brutal, and while the heated sidewalks and some great snow boots are always a help, there’s no chance you won’t bust it on the ice at least once in your four plus years at school.

5 Reasons Why Finals Week Is The Worst For People Who Love Christmas

Christmas is on the brain during the month of December, not finals! How do you expect me to study?

Christmas is literally so close. We can almost taste it. But there is just one thing standing between you and the big day: FINALS. It's not the studying, lack of sleep, last minute cram sessions or crappy food intake that is the worst... but the fact that you cannot focus because, well, CHRISTMAS. How do professors expect you to focus when Christmas is soooo soon. For all my fellow Christmas lovers out there, I feel your pain.
