As the new school year begins, everyone is excited to be back with all their friends and especially their roommates. Living with your best friends is exciting and you have so much you want to do, so I am creating a roomie bucket list, not just for roommates, but also for friends. I know my BFF and I planned to do so many things, but either forgot or never got around to it. Hopefully, by writing this list we will do it and you can do it as well. Let's begin the roomie bucket list:

1. Get on a first name basis with their family.

I mean you are basically family, you might as well become a part of theirs.

2. Celebrate birthdays in a BIG way.

3. Stay in and have a Disney movie night.

4. Go to a midnight premiere of a movie.

Any movie, any time (well midnight), anywhere

5. Cook something new together.

Tiramisu, anyone?

6. ROAD TRIP!

7. Go apple/pumpkin picking in the fall.

MC this one is for you!

8. Make snow-cream in the winter.

Especially for the ones who have never had it

9. Start a TV show from the beginning and watch all of it together.

I suggest One Tree Hill

10. Do something you always wanted to do, but never have done.

This could be ANYTHING!

11. Visit a random museum.

12. Explore the farmer's market.

13.Have a middle school sleepover-complete with mani/pedis and a pillow fight.

14. Go to a sporting event.

Go pack!

15. Travel to a sporting event.

Hopefully your team makes it far enough to go to a championship

16. Visit each other's hometown.

You know you want to see where they grew up.

17. Attend a concert.

18. Spend a day at the beach.

19. Make a craft for your place together.

20. Decorate for EVERY holiday-even Presidents Day.

21. Zip line through a forest.

22. Jump off of a waterfall.

23. Karaoke night!

24. Shopping spree.

Even if it is just a trip to Wal-Mart.

25. Volunteer together somewhere.

26. Participate in your own version of cupcake wars.

Nothing like some roomie competition

27. Do each other's favorite activity.

28. Run a marathon (or walk it).

Walking for those who refuse to run

29. Go camping.

30. Roomie game night.

A must!

31. Visit an amusement park.

Preferably Disney World

32. Go on a double date...

or triple or quadruple.

33. Learn a new trade.

Pottery, knitting, archery, you name it!

34. Picnic in the park.

35. Enjoy every minute together!

Who knows how long you will be living together?

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!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.
