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

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter
morethanwheels

I've been in college for four years now. I spent half my time as a commuter and half as a resident so I've experienced both sides of the housing spectrum. One thing I've learned comparing the two is that my struggles as a commuter far outweigh anything I went through while living on campus. Commuters have to deal with the problems school brings along with a slew of other issues; I've filled up my gas tank in the worst kind of weather conditions and napped in random places in public more times than I'm proud to say of. This is a list of some of the most challenging aspects of being a commuter.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!
