A Thank You Letter To My Roommate

I don't know what I'd do without you.

A Thank You Letter To My Roommate
Victoria Thomas

Dear Roomie,

Remember how before we made being roommates official we were both afraid the other wouldn't want to room together and were afraid to ask each other? That's when I realized we were both basically the same person.

During welcome week, we instantly became close. I was so nervous and scared to start this new chapter of my life but you introduced me to your friends and made me feel more welcome than anyone else. You helped me get acquainted with everything and made life easier and I couldn't be more thankful for that.

There have been ups and downs but we've always managed to work things out in the end. You've seen me at my worst and you've dealt with me in my worst mood possible and yet you've stuck around longer than most people would've. I'm pretty sure you deserve some type of reward for that or something.

With living with you comes adventures on the daily. From sitting on the floor at 3 a.m. eating pizza rolls in our underwear to rearranging our room in the middle of the day just because we were bored, there's never been a dull moment.

Thank you for laughing at my terrible jokes (yes, this includes the "yo ho will get sleighed" one), listening to me rant about almost everything and everyone, going on adventures with me, supporting me no matter what decisions I make, letting me write the dumbest things on the dry erase board that's on our door, making me laugh until I can't breathe but most importantly, thank you for being one of my best friends.

You're one of the most kindhearted, open-minded, opinionated and easy going people I've ever known. You're beautiful inside and out and I hope one day I'm at least half the person that you are. I know you're going to do great things and I can't wait to see what you accomplish.

I'm so thankful for you and everything you do for me. So, thank you for choosing me as your roommate and thank you for making my life more entertaining. You've made both college experience and my life so much better just by being a part of them. I don't know what I would've done without you.

I promise to always have your back, laugh at you when you fall (this includes falling while walking AND falling out of bed), laugh at your jokes, be here when you need to rant or need a shoulder to cry on, never let you do anything stupid alone and make you pizza rolls when you're too lazy to get out of bed and walk the 5 steps it takes to make them.

Here's to more adventures, late nights and laughs with you. I can't wait to see what else we manage to get ourselves into next semester.

With Love,

Your Roommate

As college students, we are all familiar with the horror show that is course registration week. Whether you are an incoming freshman or selecting classes for your last semester, I am certain that you can relate to how traumatic this can be.

1. When course schedules are released and you have a conflict between two required classes.

Bonus points if it is more than two.

Whether you're commuting or dorming, your first year of college is a huge adjustment. The transition from living with parents to being on my own was an experience I couldn't have even imagined- both a good and a bad thing. Here's a personal archive of a few of the things I learned after going away for the first time.

Economic Benefits of Higher Wages

Nobody deserves to be living in poverty.

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

As an English Major in college, I have a lot of writing and especially creative writing pieces that I work on throughout the semester and sometimes, I'll find it hard to get the motivation to type a few pages and the thought process that goes behind it. These are eleven thoughts that I have as a writer while writing my stories.

April Ludgate

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.
