Things We Say to Our Roommates

Living with a roommate can be weird, you are living in what feels like a 4x4 square foot room with too much stuff that you have no idea where it is going to go and you have known this person for all of five minutes. The cool thing about roommates is that you develop a strange system as to how to survive living in this tiny room and you get know them pretty well; so well you basically know how to finish their sentences. So in honor of finishing each others sentences here is a list of things that all of us have said to our roommates at some point in time.

1. But does he have a dad bod?

I'm not sure why, but anytime a guy gets brought up in a conversation his question is always one of the first asked; as if we can't give some love to the scrawny guys too.

2. Are you going out tonight?

"Are you going out tonight because if you do I will too but if you aren't then I don't know if I will but I mean if you do I totally will of course. I also need to know if you will be coming home tonight." I mean we are just looking for an excuse to go out lets be honest now.

3. Can I borrow *insert clothing item here*?

Once you decide to go out, it's almost like all of your clothes have turned ugly and all you need is your roommates clothes because you don't have anything to wear.

4. What time do you get out of class?

Because I need to know how long of a nap I can take.

5. Are you hungry?

Please say yes so that I don't have to eat alone.

6. Where do you want to eat?

Once you both have decided that you need food it takes about another 30 minutes to go get food because you can't decide on where you want to eat.

7. I don't want to go to class today.

I mean yeah, I'm paying a lot of money to go to class, but do I really have to go?

8. Yes, you have to go to class today.

Wow, okay, who are you? My mom?

9. Will you do my homework for me?

I mean you are the one that convinced me to go to class; it's only fair that you do my homework.

10. When is the last time we did laundry?

My favorite shirt is dirty and I can't remember that last time I wore it.

11. Is it bad if I wear this today if I wore it yesterday too?

I mean your Monday, Wednesday and Friday people will never know you wore it in front of your Tuesday and Thursday people.

12. It's too cold in here!

I don't know why you insist on keeping our room the temperature of Antarctica, but I might die of hypothermia if you don't turn the air up!

13. Is that a shacker shirt?

Ohhhh, is that that same boy from that one party you were totally in to?

14. Is that your boyfriend?

Anytime a new boy comes over or the same boy comes over more than once we have to know the details.

15. Why are you naked?

You are in the hallway. I think that question speaks for itself.

16. I saw a dog today!

This is one of my favorite things to ever be said and it's even better when there are pictures of said dog.

17. We need to clean our room!

It's a total disaster and looks like a tornado blew through it!

18. I quit college!

I'm dropping out and moving back home! This adulting thing is WAY too hard!

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.

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.
