An Open Letter To My Freshmen Year Roommates
Megan Adair

I live in a dorm with four other girls, there's five of us total. Throughout freshmen year, my roommates have become my best friends. From shy smiles and small talk conversations during move in, to the late night laughs and endless inside jokes we have today. I just want to say thank you to these four girls for sticking by my side the whole year. We've created unforgettable memories and I'm so happy I got to spend freshmen year with you.

Although I am not living with these same roommates next year, I know we will remain close friends. We have already discussed sleepovers in our new apartments and houses next year. We also have plans for reuniting this summer, three months is just too long without them.

Starting freshmen year and living with complete strangers was a scary thing, it takes time to get to know each other and form friendships. We've actually had two roommates move out of our dorm, we started with seven girls in our suite. It was definitely unexpected to lose two roommates but overall, it brought the five of us closer together.

These four girls are the ones I go to for everything, good or bad. If I find out I just aced a test, I text them right away. If I'm stressed about school, I go to them right away. We are always there for each other. All five of us are so incredibly different but I think that's why the friendship works.

I'm thankful for random rooming assignments that brought us together in the first place. I can't picture my freshmen year without our random adventures, our monthly Cookout runs, our unforgettable spring break, and our never-ending prank war.

To my roommates, thank you for always hyping me up, restoring my confidence, pushing me to try new things, being my fashion experts, letting me borrow your clothes, the list goes on. Thank you guys for an amazing freshmen year.

It is that time of year again. Christmastime. It is one of my favorite seasons for a myriad of reasons. Here are just a few reasons why I love Christmas. This list is in no order of importance.

1. The Christmas decorations

I am that person who will decorate directly after Thanksgiving is over. This year, my roommates and I put the tree up in our apartment before we even left for Thanksgiving break. It is a great stress reliever for me to just sit in my living room and work on the huge amount of work I have before the semester is over.

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?
