To My First Roommate

You're always in my head

To My First Roommate
Jonteal Hasty

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

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!

Another day, another Elle Woods comment. Can’t us blondes get through the day without someone harping at us over the typical stereotypes about who we are? I never understood why a person was judged based upon the hair color they were born with, or the hair color they choose to have (unless you dye your hair blue like Kylie Jenner, I’m still trying to understand why that’s a trend). Nevertheless, as it should be assumed, not everyone is the same. Not all blondes like bright colors and Lilly Pulitzer, and not all blondes claim to identify with Marilyn Monroe. I think the best suggestion to give to people before they make such radical claims is to stop judging a book by its cover. Or in this case, stop judging a blonde by her hair color.
