What It's Like To Have Your Best Friend As A Roommate

So people say you find your life long friends in college. I was lucky enough to find a girl I can call my best friend. And even better someone, who was willing to live with me. Willing to deal with all of my crap. From singing out loud at any time of the day to asking her if she wants to order Dominos at 1:30 a.m. on a Wednesday night.

It's not like she doesn't know what to expect from me, being that's she knows my every move before I make them, but it's still shocking that she is willing to deal with me 24/7 for the next two semesters in the same room (which is more like being in 6 by 6 box). My mom doesn't even want to be around me that much.

Having her be my roommate is probably one of the greatest things that could happen to me. I can now roll over and ask if she wants to get food instead of texting her or walking down four flights of stairs. I can borrow her clothes whenever I want to...(kidding). I have someone I can vent to at any moment of any day (even when she really doesn't wanna know about it). And I can have a sleep over every night.

The best part of rooming with your best friend is that I will always have someone who loves me to come "home" to, which is quite great actually. I get to see my best friend everyday and every night. And even when she get tired of me, annoyed by me or all of the above, I know she still loves me.

So this girl is my forever friend. My best friend. And if I could change meeting her, I wouldn't. She will forever be my person. And I look forward to living with her in our little box. I'm excited for the adventure, deep heart-to-heart conversations, late-night eating and everything in between.

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.
