An Open Letter to My College Roommates

Because I will always cherish those pillow forts and Friday night pancakes with my favorite people

An Open Letter to My College Roommates
Leslie Stratton

Dear College Roommates,

You know you miss me! And I miss you too. Though I often struggle with responding to messages, phone calls, or letters, know I think and talk about you all the time. My friends now all make fun of me for talking about you so much. I am never sorry and I promise I will always continue to do it.

Remember those nights on the weekends where we would all stay in and hang out together while everyone else went out? Me too. Those were some of my best memories from college. I remember when we made that fort, putting together all of the sheets in our townhouse. Then, we made pancakes and ate those bad boys in the fort. Talk about the dream team. We took pictures. It was high quality.

Though I have not seen you all for quite some time now, I cherish the times we talk more than I can say. No one understands me like you do. You have seen me through the lack of sleep due to my exams and papers, and frustrations due to sports. You have seen me at the highest highs and the lowest lows. And I appreciate those small acts of encouragement from the cookies you baked to the smiles in the morning. They mean a lot. I also am thankful for the dumb decisions we made. Oh gosh, they were dumb. But you better believe they were funny.

When we lived together, I appreciated it but I think I appreciate it even more now. It made me who I am today. I have heard you become most like the people you hang out with the most. And I am beyond thankful to have become more and more like you.

Stay Classy Townhouse 301,

Your Roommate

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.
