A Thank-You Note To The College Roommates Who Have My Back
Caitlyn Tumino

Dear Roommates,

When I sat down and tried to figure out how to write something that summarized just how thankful I am for all of you, I realized that it was completely impossible. There’s so many hundreds of thousands of reasons why I am so thankful to have you all in my life, so I composed a letter of just a few of them.

Thank you for encouraging most of my online shopping purchases and for reminding me when I’m probably running out of money. Thank you for hyping me up when we’re all getting ready to go out. Thank you for dealing with my weird habits like never sleeping and constantly scream-singing my feelings.

Thank you for listening to me freak out about anything and everything that Taylor Swift does. Thank you for dealing my obsession with “FRIENDS” and the fact that I want to decorate our apartment like Monica’s. Thank you for letting me be a neat freak to the point where it gets annoying.

Thank you for not judging me too much when I say that I haven’t seen whatever movie you’re discussing. Thank you for all the low-key lazy weekends. Thank you for all the great weekends, too. Thank you for the countless inside jokes, endless singing and unnecessary ordering of McDonald’s from UberEats.

Thank you for being my biggest cheerleaders and my personal therapists. Thank you for making sure that I don’t procrastinate too much on my assignments or sleep through my 9:30s. Thank you for being there to listen to my good news as well as my bad. Thank you for calming me down when I feel like I’m just going to fail out.

Thank you for building me up when I feel torn down. Thank you for reminding me that I deserve a lot better than I was given previously. Thank you for endlessly defending me. Thank you for always offering to get into a fight for me because we all know that I don’t do conflict.

Thank you for dealing with my panic attacks and my strong feelings on most things.

Thank you for changing my college experience for the better. Thank you for being my best friends.

Thank you for everything.

Sincerely,

Me

Oh college, lovely, lovely college. A four-year time span that is filled with many highs and many lows. Between procrastinating on an essay that is due at midnight to getting your first library card (if you know what I mean), college is a time that you should not take for granted, yet it is also a time where you feel like your entire world is falling apart. It is a time where one day you can feel like you are on top of the world and then the next day you are 500 feet below the ground surface.

When I was learning how to talk, I was taught both Portuguese and English at the same time. In elementary school, I started taking mandatory Spanish classes, which I did well in because of my knowledge of Portuguese. Then in high school, on top of taking Spanish, I also started taking French. Now, in college, already fluent in English and Portuguese, I'm in the process of becoming fluent in Spanish, and I have a standard high school level understanding of French.

I am without a doubt one of those people who refuses to start decorating for Christmas or listen to Christmas music until after Thanksgiving. Unfortunately, Thanksgiving has become an underrated holiday over the years. You barely see any Thanksgiving decorations in stores; it's like they skip right from Halloween to Christmas.

8 Things To Do To Keep You Occupied During Thanksgiving Break

Some universities only get two or three days off for Thanksgiving break. Or, if your university is like mine, you get the whole week off go go home. A whole week off is a long time.

Here are some ideas as to what you can do to get the most out of your Thanksgiving break.
