To My First Roommate

You're always in my head

There are some very crazy things that I have realized while being in college and one of them is how you shaped my freshmen year. I just thought I'd write and let everyone know why your roommate fresh out of high school are one the best people you'll meet in your entire life.

First of all, as my first roommate, it was your obligation to be my first friend. By being my first friend, you walked with me through some of my first experiences. Remember that one time when we met some really cool boys and went to Target Takeover and then the Scrimmage with? Not to add, they were probably some of the nicest friends we had in school. Well, I don't think I could have met them, if I wasn't with you. You were there to hype up my crazy which just so happen to get their attention. You were the friend that I could count on to go every where with. You were there with me to explore this new place we had to call our temporary home. Yeah, maybe it didn't compare to our real homes, but you made me comfortable and I like to think I did the same.

Remember the first boy I liked? The first thing I did after I met him, was I texted you. I couldn't wait to let you know that a boy actually stepped foot in our room. Remember when that same boy made me cry. You made me feel like it was okay to be weak sometimes. Our fun never stopped there because we always tried to do everything together. If it wasn't for you I don't think I would have tried out for cheerleading. That would've been a mistake believe it or not. You took care of me and made sure I was always up for class. I'm still sorry my alarm woke you up every day. But I will never be sorry for being your roommate.

Remember when I lost myself in all the bull crap from that year and I didn't sleep in our room for months. I wonder how that made you feel sometimes. I remember when you decided that your roommate would be someone else for the next year. That's when I realized that I wanted to redo my year and take care of you like how you did for me. Be apart of your best experiences. Even though we aren't together anymore and you found you true friends, you will always be in my head. Thanks for the all the laughs, tears, stress, anger, fun, and love.

-From your First roommate

p.s. you wouldn't believe the year I've had without you there

Things People Without A Typical 'Boy Name' or 'Girl Name' Know To Be True

All names should be "unisex names."

Tulane University

1001

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.

Washington College

I'm an anthropology major, and I love every minute of it. I couldn't tell you why, but I guess there's just something about studying different lifestyles that absolutely fascinates me. But anthropology majors definitely have our weird sides, especially when you go to a school that is filled with mostly Business and Bio majors. But us weirdos definitely have a lot in common, specifically these 16 things.

14 Things The Extremely Pale Are Tired Of Hearing

I get it... I'm pale.

University of Vermont

Everyone has insecurities, that's just a fact. You didn't ask to be born this way. You didn't ask to inherit the one trait no one else in your family has. And you definitely didn't ask to be this ghostly white. But as soon as you've learned to live with it for a while (less wrinkles later on in life, right? right???) someone has to ruin it for you. They have to flaunt they're perfectly tanned body from Spring Break and hold their sun-kissed skin against yours. But I've had enough... here are the things that perpetually pale individuals are tired of hearing.
