If you're artistic enough to do this take the time to paint your roommate a nice canvas! It can have a nice quote or even just a cute picture on it. My favorite friend quote is "Best friends are like stars, you don't always see them, but they're always there." It's something that your roommate can put up in her room and always remember how you gave it to her!

When people say they need socks they really mean it. Especially in college our socks go missing or the dryer eats them. No one really knows but the key to a girl's heart is a pair of fuzzy socks she can wear to class or even to lounge around in. You can find them anywhere these days, but the best place is the dollar section in Target!
