An Open Letter To My Roommates

The first week of school has ended and as roommates, here are my thoughts on our first few days together.

An Open Letter To My Roommates
Taylor Fogarty

The first week of classes is officially over, and that means that we have all been together for at least a week. The four of us have so far gotten along very well and I can only hope that the year will continue in the same. In our first few days together, I have had so much fun with you guys, between our movie nights and the time we have spent hanging out talking about random stuff and laughing at our weirdness.

I can already tell you that this week has been one of the best opening weeks of school that I've had since going to college. The three of you are helping me to open up more by accepting me for who I am, strange quirks and all. Before moving into our dorm this year I was very nervous, because it can be hard to have one roommate, let alone three. I was scared that all of you would get along well, and I would be the odd one out. But I am so happy that you all have opened up to me and that we can all have fun together.

I can't even begin to tell you how excited I get when I walk through the door after class and work and you all greet me. It makes my day, because in the past couple of years, I haven't had many friends and would tend to get lonely. So every day when I come home, and the four of us gather and talk and make jokes, it makes me incredibly glad that I decided to remain in the dorms.

We may have only known each other for less than two weeks, but I want you all to know that I consider you friends. For the first time in a long while, I am actually happy and excited to be at school, because for once I no longer feel incredibly lonely. And for that, I thank each one of you. So thank you to the gymnast who loves Bath and Body Works and Pink. Thank you to the incredibly sweet and kind girl who's tongue jiggles when she laughs. Thank you to the weird rooster who cracks me up with every word she speaks. The three of you have made the beginning of my junior year one of the best so far. And finally, thank's to Carl, our pink polka-doted dinosaur who watches over us all.

Here's to the memories we have already made and to the many more that we will continue to make. Have a great school year!

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

College is a great place to meet people, especially through Greek life. If you look closely at sororities, you'll quickly see there are many different types of girls you will meet.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
