An Open Letter To The Boys Next Door

Please turn your music down.

An Open Letter To The Boys Next Door
The Pitch

Dear the boys next door,

Before I start, I'd just like to say that I'm sure you are truly lovely people who have nothing but good intentions at heart. I am also very happy that you all are having such a blast in college. However, for the love of all that is great, PLEASE turn your music down. I don't know why you insist on partying all days of the week or why you play loud music at all hours of the day, but some people (clearly not you two) like to study, sleep, or maybe just have some peaceful Netflix times. You always seem to have about a million people in your room (I still haven't figured out how they all fit in there) and they, as well as you, love to scream over one another. I come from a very loud, rambunctious family and am accustomed to constant noise but this, dear neighbors, is on a whole other level of loud. It's impressive, I'll give you that, yet hard to appreciate at two a.m.

I would also like to point out that slamming your door closed every two seconds can be felt throughout the entire hall, as neighbors down the way have commented on the reverberations. I understand that you enjoy letting people into the party, but you should consider closing it regularly instead of slamming it. Just a thought. As well as this, my roommate and I simply do not care that you want to 'talk' or 'hang out' at all hours of the morning. If it's after midnight, we won't answer the door so don't even come knockin'. Besides, the last time you barged your way in, you ate half of MY granola bar and then left in on the desk. Open. Running down the halls in the middle of the night while simultaneously screaming and laughing is another highly irritating tendency you all have. Hearing a stampede of boys in the middle of the night (especially when I have an 8 a.m.) is the absolute worst thing to wake up to.

The walls are paper thin, so it's not entirely your fault that I can't sleep or study or hear myself think when you all are partying. This being said, you could be considerate and turn it down a tad or two. Or three. Thanks.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

The 5 Painfully True Stages Of Camping Out At The Library

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
