A Thank You To My Roommate

Thank you for being my best friend.

A Thank You To My Roommate
Tegan Wylde

This is to my freshman roommate who has turned into much more than just a roommate. Thank you.

1. Thank you for being there for me through everything.

When I say everything, I mean everything. You were there for me when I needed a shoulder to cry on, whether it was about a guy, a movie, or a class I was struggling in. You were there and you didn't have to be. It is not like you are signing a 'best friend contract' when you pick your freshman roommate. But, I was lucky to meet someone like you.

2. Thank you for going and leaving everywhere with me.

If we went out, we were together which also meant we were leaving together. We were the definition of "No Man Left Behind." If one of us was ready to leave, we were both ready to leave. We were the type of roommates that did everything together from grocery shopping to working out. If someone invited us somewhere we automatically assumed that it was for both of us.

3. Thank you for our endless sleepovers filled with laughter.

The amount of times we would make up random scenarios that would never happen then laugh how outrageous they were countless. We always were in our beds laughing out loud at the things we would send to each other on Twitter.

4. Thank you for always sliding into my DM's on Twitter with hilarious videos and memes.

This was a late night tradition for us, right before going to bed we would go through our newsfeed and find funny things to send to each other. I want to thank you for exposing me to the funniest things that I have seen in my life.

5. Thank you for constantly letting me borrow your things.

Even though we both had so many clothes, I still felt like I did not have enough. So, I appreciate when you would let me dig through your stuff when I was not feeling my own clothes. Glad we were the same size as well.

6. Thank you for having late night snacks with me.

Oh my. This is something I will never forget. We always would get completely ready for bed then decide we wanted chips and dip or Oreos. Thank you for always have those late night snacks with me to make me feel bad for eating after 9.

7. Thank you for always being down for movie nights instead of going out.

Our ratio of going out to movie nights favored movie nights by far. Thank you for watching the movies I would try to suggest on Netflix from Pinterest even when they sucked and we had to change them half way through.

8. Thank you for starting and finishing Netflix series with me.

All of the Netflix marathons we had was insane. We were always looking for a new series to watch or even watched each other series with them. It was fun having something to gossip about, along with sharing our thoughts about the show. We were always making fun of the characters outfits or how the plot played out.

9. Thank you for never judging me.

The late nights when we would come back and smash a bag of chips, Papa Johns, and Oreos you would never judge if I was still hungry after all of that. The crazy idea's I wanted to do like dying my hair purple, you were never there to judge instead you did it for me. If I tried out a new makeup look or outfit, or nail polish color you never once said anything that would question my judgement. You always gave me your support.

10. Thank you for the honesty you always give me even when it is hard.

The truth can be hard sometimes like when one of the belt loops of your jeans broke when my roommate borrowed them. But, I never was mad because she came right out and said it. Or when I was making irrational decisions you were there to straighten me out.

11. Thank you for always being so respectful.

This is one the things I am most thankful for. My roommate was very respectful of my things and my space. There was never a time when I thought she was selfish because she was constantly doing things for me. It could be something as simple as picking up a togo box full of lunch for me or filling the Keurig full of water so we would not have to in the morning. The little things really made living with my roommate the best.

12. Thank you for our jam sessions, whether it is in the car or dorm.

There would always be a new song we were hooked on and could not wait to roll down the windows and blast it. Or even just sit in the dorm and jam to it before going out.

A Few Thoughts Every College Freshman Has

The transition into adulthood is never easy

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.
