To the lady who puts up with me nearly every day

A Thank-You Letter to My Roommate
Rosalind Keeley

To the roommate/sister who is the best God-send ever,

I just wanted to say that you are probably one of the coolest people I know. From the first day of our writing/English class, second semester of freshman year, I knew you were going to be my friend.

Thank you for being my roommate this year.

Thank you for supplying the chips and salsa for the beginning of the year and letting me eat your food.

Thank you for putting up with my field hockey gear and my unkempt side of the room. And also the smelly sports laundry and shoes lying on the floor. Thank you for sometimes getting me up in the morning for the 8am's that I just don't want to get up for. Speaking of which, thank you for putting up with my multiple alarms throughout the morning... I am a very deep sleeper. If I had a title, my superhero name would most likely be the Deep Sleeper.

Thank you for making me laugh, giving me things to write down in our late-night conversation notebook, cracking up at my non-humor humor and being a wonderful, beautiful person.

Thank you for letting me be a third wheel when you want to have lunch/dinner with your boyfriend (even though it's really fun hanging out with you guys!)

Thank you for listening to me complain about classes, life, clothes, outfits, practice and my lunch which I was unhappy with.

Thank you for those late night conversations that keep me awake and energized to actually do homework. Thank you for inspiring me to be a better student and not procrastinate (I still do, but, thanks to you, not as frequently).

Thank you for being a fellow Christian and having deep theological conversations with me; sometimes the topics can't be answered, but, hey! We try to come up with an answer anyways!

Thank you for taking me to church and encouraging me to be the best person I can be in Jesus Christ.

Thank you for taking me shopping and spending money with me. Yes, I do spend money carelessly sometimes, but, it's fun to show each other the food we buy for the week or the ridiculous purchases we made online (including a Lego set and leggings...).

You have the best smile and the greatest sense of humor out of all of the people I know, and you never fail to make me laugh when I come into Evans after a long day of classes. Thank you for just being there, even if we don't talk and we are working, thank you for your presence.

Thank you for friending me on Snapchat so I can send you embarrassing selfies/videos of myself.

Thank you for making coffee that makes our room smell better than any air freshener could.

Thank you for being you and being like a sister.

Even though I'm weird sometimes, thanks for hanging out and being a friend when I really need someone.

You, ma'am, are a fabulous homo sapien whom God has placed on this earth to do great things.

You have a fierce style, a crazy personality and a exquisite soul, I can't wait to spend another semester with you!

Thank you for being my roommate!

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.

1. The Legacy.

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.
