A Letter To My Roommate

Thanks for not letting me totally ruin my life...

A Letter To My Roommate

Dear roomie,

When we first moved into this tiny space together we couldn't wait to move out, but now that the time is near it is a little scary. When we chose to live together last minute last year, we were probably both unsure of the year we would have together. From the late nights we went crazy writing papers, to spontaneous trips to Sweet Frog, and all of the Usher jam sessions in between, we went from just being roommates to being friends. Thanks for taking me in your squad as one of your own.

I am forever grateful for you dealing with me. I know I'm a hot mess. Yes I mean that about my life and living space. Even when you judged my poor life decisions, I knew it was with love.

Thanks for encouraging my naps, and when I really needed to, encouraging me to do my homework or laundry. You were there for me this year through all of my struggles, and even though you usually laughed at me, I'm glad you were there (especially the times we struggled together).

I'm sorry for all of the times I tortured you with Disney songs and country music, and the time I woke you up at 8 a.m. with a stranger and an atomic bomb alarm (thank you for not killing me after that one, I deserved it) I think you definitely helped improve my music taste over the year. I'm not sure what I'll do next year without you there keeping me up to date with the latest Usher or J Cole. We may be living in different places next year, but know you're my roomie for life.

I will definitely make myself at home in your new place. If you ever contemplate dropping out and moving to Atlanta or Disney World like we planned, don't hesitate to call because you know I'll have my bags packed.

We may be living in different places next year, but expect me to come over at any given time and encourage you to stop working and watch some Netflix. So thanks again for everything. I couldn't have gotten through this year without you. You helped me through a lot of problems and bad decisions and definitely talked me out of totally ruining my life. I owe a lot to ya! Cheers to senior year! Can't wait to see where life takes us, love you K Watts.

xoxo,

Bianca

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
