Freshman year, I only had one roommate, a friend from home. In just a short month, I'll have three other roommates, some of my best friends. My life is about to get a whole new change. A change I am so excited about.

Starting off college in an apartment was a full-wind of excitement, and moving into another with three of the best people I know will be amazing. We all have had our ups and downs with roommates in the past, but that doesn't mean the same will happen for us.

From the beginning, when we first decided to all four live together, it was like a breeze. Each and every one of us is so easy going, that deciding who will bring what, or pay for this, or really anything at all, was a simple process.

However, we still have a lot to decide about. Whether or not we are sharing food, how we are going to pitch in for items we all use, electricity, having guests over...I mean, it can be a lot. With that being said, I know that whatever struggles we may have while living together, the good memories will outweigh the bad.

Just designing the theme for the apartment to the movie and dinner nights we are going to have, I already know living with you three is going to be the best experience yet.

I want you to know that I will always be here if you need me. Aka picking you guys up from a bar late at night, bringing home comfort food if you have a bad day, treating your parents like they are my own (because let's face it, that will happen soon enough), or sitting in the living room piled up with blankets watching a scary movie (Brie, I already know you're gonna make me do this...). We are going to have a great time.

Soon enough, the year will pass by, basically meaning that two of you will be graduating (seriously, please like don't leave me). That just means the memories will be so much better!

I guess this article is just to say how excited I am to be back with you three in the fall. You each have a radiating personality that makes the room light up with fun and laughter! T-minus 17 days until move in (from the day I am writing this article), see y'all soon!

5 Ways To Bring Positivity Into Your Life When All You Want To Do Is Drown In Self-Pity

It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

5 Ways To Bring Positivity Into Your Life When All You Want To Do Is Drown In Self-Pity

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.

11 Things We Learned From Brooke Davis

"What's more important? What we become or how we become it?"

St. Thomas Aquinas College

"She was fiercely independent, Brooke Davis. Brilliant, and beautiful, and brave. In two years she had grown more than anyone I had ever known. Brooke Davis is going to change the world someday, and I'm not sure she even knows it." - Lucas Scott, An Unkindness of Ravens

Brooke Davis of the hit show One Tree Hill was the it girl - she had it all, or so we thought. She started out as a stuck-up, shallow, spoiled, head cheerleader who didn't have her life together. She slept around a lot and loved to party - sounds like your typical high school teenager right? Wrong. B. Davis had so much more to offer. Caring, loyal, and outspoken, she has taught us some valuable lessons throughout the 9 seasons that OTH was on the air:

For some of us, coming to college was the first time we ever had to share a room. It was a big change, but a fun one. As you meet more and more people over the course of your college career, it seems to be a pattern that you will at some point have that one friend that doesn't live with you, but acts like they do. We call those people, "Honorary Roommates" and here are 11 signs you have one in your life.
