An open letter to my roommate

I don't thank you enough

Dear roomie,

You are my best friend on campus. I'm so lucky and fortunate to have you as a roommate. I'll admit, I was scared for weeks before move-in day, I was so worried that we would end up hating each other or that you'd be weird. (Now I know you are kinda weird but it's the same weird that I am and I love you for it) I kept telling myself that it would be okay, that we didn't necessarily need to be friends but that it would be okay as long as we figured out a way to co-exist peacefully.

Now, I can't imagine having anyone else as a roommate. It's hard for me to wrap my head around the fact that we've only known each other for about fifteen days. We've gotten so close in such a short amount of time. There are days when I am convinced that, except for hair color and an inch in height difference, we are the same person.

I always get sad whenever I come back to our dorm and you aren't there. Thank you for taking care of me when i was sick, thank you for everything that you do for me and for everything that you offer to do for me. Thank you for always getting excited whenever something good happens to me. Thank you for the countless hours you spend (and will spend) listening to me rant about my day. Thank you for always coming to the dining hall with me, even if you already ate and just came back. Thank you for always offering to make me coffee in the mornings because you somehow always wake up earlier than I do, and you know I'm not leaving my bed until absolutely necessary. Thank you for waking me up when you're not sure if I set an alarm (or if I sleep past it). Thank you for always being willing to share your food, shoes, and clothes with me (although I am a little bitter that you look better in my pink sweatshirt than I do). I don't think I thank you enough for everything that you do for me.

Without you, I probably wouldn't have met half of the amazing friends that I've made here. I definitely would've gotten lost way more if it wasn't for you and the map you had. I can't imagine having to go through freshman year without you.

Dear Mom,

You took care of me and my brothers our entire lives and you still continue to! I will not be able to truly grasp all of the hard work that you put into this family until I create my own one day. But, I know that there are plenty of times I forgot to give you a simple thank you or an appreciative smile. I thank you for everything that you have done for me and will continue to do for me. Here are some examples of those times where you had my back and I forgot to pat your back for saving me:

College is hard. As people ages 18-22, we’re just trying to figure out what we’re doing with our lives, our careers, our eating habits, exercise routines, sleep patterns, and other necessities for adult life. We definitely don’t take proper care of ourselves; it’s basically impossible when we have essays, tests and readings due and somehow we’re supposed to eat right, exercise and sleep. We’re doomed to get sick. I have zero experience in science but when I get sick there are certain things I do to make myself better.

Now that it seems “talking” is the new way to date, and will stay that way until another idiotic term is used to describe the people who can’t settle down and just date someone, I feel as if it’s time to go over the unwritten rules of “talking.”

Rule 1. Having feeling without feeling.
