The Suite Life Of Shay

Love you losers so much

The Suite Life Of Shay
Samantha Kuchinski

Never have I lived with a female other than my mom until I started college. Sure, I had friends in high school and we would sometimes have sleepovers spanning a few days, but never have I spent almost every waking moment with girls my age. I remember being excited for college and thinking living with a girl would be all sharing clothes, braiding hair, and talking about boys; I wasn't wrong, but I wasn't right.

1. Clothing is optional

With the summer we've been having so far and without the luxury of AC in our room, walking around in a sports bra and your shorts from 6th grade is a-okay. Walking into the room and finding your roommate passed out for a nap in their bed too lazy to change out of their towel after a shower is completely normal, too.

2. No question is off limits

From asking if gluten is in about every other food to asking if I'm being a psychopath in a situation, nothing is too stupid to ask. (And trust me, we don't hold back.)

3. Weekend recaps on Sunday mornings are a must

Waking up surrounded with empty Domino's boxes, 17 outfit options and owning the "last night's makeup" look can be a little discombobulating sometimes. So, Sunday mornings always entail cuddling up together and piecing together a series of unfortunate events.

4. Calling each other out on our BS is okay

Passive aggressiveness is a no-no. Lying is a no-no. Taking showers longer than 10 minutes when the whole suite has 9:30's is a no-no and we certainly let each other know it.

5. You become telepathic

Just sitting as I was writing this article, every time I would look up at Adele with her back facing me, she would tell me to stop staring at her. We finish each other's sentences and we have a 6th sense about knowing when you shouldn't go back to the room.

6. If one of the roommates is being overly nice, something is up

I live with 3 of the MOST sarcastic SOBs I have ever met in my life. We are constantly screaming at each other or whacking the crap out of each other with pillows. If one of us is being really nice to the others, an intervention is much needed.

7. The bathroom becomes the common room

When your two rooms are connected by a bathroom probably nicer than your actual room, it becomes the hangout place of choice. Having chats while someone is in the shower and someone is putting on their makeup is the norm.

8. If you don't want your food eaten, hide it

Even though the dining hall is a staggering 30 steps away, lazy college kid syndrome takes over frequently and any food in sight will be eaten.

9. My wardrobe doubles at school

Living with not one, not two, but three girls is every clothes fanatic's dream. Never do I not have anything to wear and it's not that odd to find myself not wearing any of my own clothes.

10. Even though to the average bystander we look like we hate each other, I love you guys to death

People walking onto campus from the parking lot probably hear us screaming lovely names at each other or hear screams of sheer terror after one of us burns the other. Without a doubt, if I saw us, I would think we all hate each other. I mean, we only tell each other that approximately 4,869 times a day. We're just so close that, "I hate you" has become, "I love you" and, "I love you" has becoming something so much more than that.

That being said, I hate you losers -- so, so much.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

Bucket List To Live In The Now

Find excitement in your life and start exploring wherever you are right here, right now.

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…

Great Value Colleges

If you go to or went to Kent State, then more than likely you have done or will do some of these things.

1. You’ve slipped and fallen on the ice at least once.

The winters at Kent are brutal, and while the heated sidewalks and some great snow boots are always a help, there’s no chance you won’t bust it on the ice at least once in your four plus years at school.
