An Open Letter To My College Roommate

College would suck without you.

Hey,

Every part of me wanted to start writing the lyrics to 'Closer' but I had to hold myself back. I want to take this time to acknowledge you and our beautiful friendship, and all of our stupid jokes and insiders and remind you just why I love you and our friendship so much.

Since the beginning, way back when we met on facebook, I was so skeptical of you. I would say no offense, but you already know what I mean. But seriously, we were/are so compatible, there had to have been a catch somewhere along the lines. At least that's what I thought because why would I be so lucky to get a normal, amazing roommate right off the bat? Well, since we've met it's been quite the adventure and we're only halfway through the year.

Thank you for jamming out with me, even so hard we got a noise complaint that one night because we were dancing so hard we made their desks shake! Also thanks for having the same music taste as me, it's comforting to know I could throw on an old Hannah Montana song, or some random indie band and you'll know every word just as well as I do. Thank you for going on drives with me wherever I go, it really sucks without you. Also, thanks for being my crazy dance partner while we're out, I don't know what I would do without our spontaneous synchronized dance moves.

College has helped me blossom in so many ways, it allowed me to be who I've always wanted to be, and honestly you have helped with that so much. We have both grown so much in the time we've lived together already, and we still have so many more experiences to come. Shout out to you for always supporting me and my decisions, it's only fair we support each other because, well, we do live together and that would just be awkward, plus even if the decision we're supporting is bad, we get one hell of a story out of it.

I'll never forget when we combined our beds to make one big bed for cuddling and movie night, or the time where you had me parallel park your car. I'll also never forget how much stuff you brought back to school after our four day weekend, only because I had to carry a lot of it and my arms are still sore. I'm kidding, but you do over pack, luckily, more than me, so I'm allowed to call you out on it. Let us also not forget all the weird boys we've met who we've turned their first names into last names and their new first names are 'Creepy.'

There's nothing I love more than our late night talks about getting married one day, our careers (if I ever make up my mind), and whatever we can really think of. It's always nice to have you right across the room to complain to, even if it's just about the fact that I feel so bloated to the point that people might mistake me for a cow. There's nobody else I would want to get lost with while walking around campus to find our new classes.

There are a million other things that I could bring up, but I felt that these were definitely worth mentioning. Thank you for not only being the best college roommate anyone could ask for, but being my best friend. You're my number one and I don't know what I would do without you. I cannot wait to experience so many more things with you and have you by my side for the rest of my college life.

Love,

Your best friend

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.
