An Open Letter To My Roommate

You are more than a roommate. You are my best friend.

An Open Letter To My Roommate

Froomie: "A combination of the words "friend" and the shortening of roommate ("roomie"). It describes two people who are not only roommates but also close friends and confidantes." (as defined by Urban Dictionary)

To my roommate who became my best friend,

When we picked each other as roommates, little did we know that we would become much more. Living together is not always easy for anyone, but I would never trade what we have for the world (and quite honestly, who else would put up with my shenanigans like you do?!).

We have experienced so many "firsts" together. You are forever my first roommate. We went to our first college football games and parties together. Our first meals in the dining hall were together. Our first hours in our new dorm were together. We even made it on the big screen at the freshman welcome!! You will always be my first roommate.

Our first break apart felt like forever. Little things such as passing one of the franchises one of your favorite restaurants or watching a show that you got me hooked on make me think of you. I miss our "goodnights" before bed and all our good laughs. I can't wait for this break to be over so I can be back with my partner in crime!

For the nights that we stayed up talking for hours after we went to bed. For the times that you comforted me after a stressful day. For all the boy advice and life advice you have given me. For all the clothing and snacks we've shared. For the time that you were my doctor when I was sick. For all the experiences we've gone through together. For all the "firsts" that we have experienced together. For all the laughs and all the tears. You have been a role model to me. You are more than a roommate; you are my best friend.

Thank you for everything,

Love, Your Froomie

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. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. 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.
