An Open Letter To My Roommate

The Blessing of having a roommate and best friend in one person

An Open Letter To My Roommate
Ashley Hontz

You know when you meet that one person who you instantly understand and who understands you? Well that is what happened when I got to college and found my person. Here are just a few of things that I want you to know.

You are my roommate and my best friend and I have no idea what I would do without you. When I'm asked to describe you, I simply say "She is an Angel sent from above." It's true because God has honestly blessed me with you.

You put up with my crazy and understand my babbling before I do. You are honest with me and have helped me through so much in this short time that I have known you.

It's amazing to me that I have only known you for less than two years. To me it feels like I have known you my whole life. We understand each other and we can tell each other everything.

Honestly I can't believe that you put up with my endless rambling from subject that range from the boy I like to what crazy thing happened to me that day (and let's be honest there is a new story every day). On that note, I am so blessed that you put up with my endless cycle of bad luck.

When I think of my future I know that you will be there. Mostly because I love you so much but partly because you know to much for me to let you go. You have become a part of my family and I will love you forever and always.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.

Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
