Hi girlie!

First of all, I wanted to say that I was really wrong about you. When I first found your Instagram I was really nervous because you were so pretty AND a gymnast?? Full disclosure I assumed you would not be very nice. But wow was I wrong!! You are one of the sweetest girls I’ve ever met! Throughout the year, you have been so kind and I am really glad we were put together.

Throughout the year, I have grown progressively more comfortable relaying all my problems and stories to you. I’m sure there are some days where you are definitely not interested in how slow the person was walking in front of me or the annoying person who wouldn’t stop giving their opinion in class. However, I appreciate it. A lot. It is really nice to be able to vent to an unbiased person and to someone who is on my side. I know that we both have our share of stories so it’s cool to be able to catch up with you each day on the wild or boring days we had.

In addition, I also feel so blessed that we have similar interests and personalities. The amount of times we talk about Jenna Marbles videos and New Girl and our similar levels of introvertedness is incredible. It is so fun to be able to sit and watch YouTube for hours with a roommate who won’t judge me because we are doing the same thing. Plus, we can get excited about milestones AND introduce each other to cool channels! I love texting you about all the gossip and my weird dreams about YouTubers and you don't think it's weird.

Also, I really appreciate you taking care of my plants for me. I am honestly the worst plant mother ever, and you have really helped me keep my plants alive. If it weren’t for you, not only would I not buy plants but they also would not be living. I cannot WAIT to grow the family next year!

Lastly, I want to say how excited I am that you wanted to room with me again next year. There have been a good amount of people that are not interested in rooming with their same roommate again, so for us to be lucky enough to not only want to room together, but also already be excited about designing the room and deciding what will be on our windowsill makes me feel so much more excited to come back to school.

Thank you for being one of my few close friends here at college. I had a hard time deciding to come to college in the first place because I was afraid that I would be really bad at making friends. You made it so easy. I really really appreciate it, and I am so excited to come back and hang out with you next year!!

Your current roommate and froomie,

Molly <33

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

sisters

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions. So, if you are aware that you’re a Starbucks addict as well, or maybe you need to check to see if you’re an addict, here are seven ways to tell.

College involves a whirlwind of emotions, whether it’s from the stress of an assignment (or twenty), or from fighting with your roommate. It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective. The following aren’t foolproof tips and may not apply to you, but I was able to find success with them (hope you do too!)
