An Open Letter To My Roommates

I promise to make this the best year of our lives.

An Open Letter To My Roommates
Kassandra Mantz

As we get ready to move into our house together this week, I am a sea of emotions and I know you guys are too. I am overjoyed to be getting to experience our first taste of actual semi-adult life with my best friends, but I’m also so scared for what responsibilities I know lie ahead for us. I can’t wait to pretend we’re interior decorators and argue about how much pink two of us may or may not try to fill the house with, but at least we can all agree on some glitter here and there. Not as excited for the bills, though.

This next year is going to be full of laughter, tears, stress and more fun than we can ever imagine. I promise to personally make sure that we have triple the ups than we will downs. When times get tough I promise to talk things out and make sure that we all fall asleep smiling because at the literal end of the day we all love each other unconditionally and that’s all that will ever matter.

When you guys are trying to study, I promise I will distract you guys enough to make sure you’re never working too hard. Also, a huge thank you in advance from myself and my GPA for keeping me on track and making sure I’ll study and do all of my work.

I cannot wait to not brush my own hair after I shower and steal all of your clothes. You guys know mi closet es su closet always as well.

I promise to try and motivate us to go to the gym and I promise even harder that we will eat ice cream after because we deserve it. Actually, we deserve ice cream all the time so expect it whether we go to the gym or not. More than likely not.

I’m already sorry for the amount of times I will be climbing into your beds at night because we all know how bad I am at sleeping alone. But just know my bed will always have room for you guys every single night you need it, too. In addition to sleeping, I’m sorry for all of the nights that I will keep you guys up because I’m an insomniac and get a little weird after 10 p.m.

We are all so diverse, yet so alike in different ways. We all level each other out in the most harmonizing way possible and that’s why I know we are going to be perfectly fine and make the best out of this next year. I love you guys so much and cheers to our upcoming adventures. I cannot wait.

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.
