An Open Letter To My Freshman Year Roommate

To The Hero To My Zero

An Open Letter To My Freshman Year Roommate
Libby Frazier

Dear roommate,

Honestly? I went into college terrified that we wouldn't like each other or that at some point we would get sick of each other. Granted, it's only three weeks in, but we have bonded so much.

We have the best time ever. I don't know what to do with you half the time, what with taping nail polish remover covered cotton balls on your fingers, or simply touching my head awkwardly to wish me luck on me day. However, I couldn't have asked for a better first roommate.

So many people have horror stories about their first roommate, but I don't think I'm going to have any. Except for that awkward spooning encounter...but we can brush over that. So many of our friends have told us that we basically have the same personality, and if I'm honest, they're right.

I will forever cherish belting "Zero to Hero," "I Will Always Love You," and any other Disney show tune that comes on. In all honesty, I'll always cherish YOU. Being your roommate has been the highlight of college so far.

Here's to more self loathing movie nights, cleaning days, alarm making, and serenading our RA. I can't wait to request you again.

All the love,

Your Freshman Year Roommate

10 Truths About Being In A Sorority

Sorority

I remember my freshman year oh so well. I remember feeling terrified the night before orientation. The one thing that I dreaded the most was not the new people, the new environment, or even the academic pressure. I was dreading having to talk to sorority girls about Recruitment. I remember cutting off and avoiding any Rho Gamma/Panhellenic Officer that came my way during First Week. I looked at them like they had asked me to cut my arm off whenever they asked me if I wanted to rush. To be honest, I did not even know what rush was, but I knew that I did NOT want to be a part of it. To me, it was dumb. It was a waste of money. It was a waste of my time.

And guess what? I did not rush my freshman year. I spent the first half of my freshman year isolating myself from everyone on campus. I spent all of my time in the library, and then (since I was a commuter) went back home once my work was finished.
