I was blessed with an amazing roommate my freshman year of college

Top 5 Reasons I Love My Roommate
Taylor Maguire

When I first arrived at Olivet College I had two roommates, and I wasn't sure if I was going to find myself in the situation where your roommate is your best friend and other half. During the first semester I became close friends with my soon to be roommate, and the more we hung out, the more we realized we needed to be roommates. This is why.

1. She cheers me up when I'm down.

She honestly knows me so well, even though we have only known each other for about less than a year, she acts like she has known me my whole life. She knows everything about me, from random facts to important personal details. She'll cuddle me and ask me whats wrong and try to squeeze it out of me because I'm not very good at talking about my feelings, but she always manages to get it out of me and help me feel better.

2. She is the funniest person I know.

She has such an outgoing personality everyone just loves, I don't know how one couldn't! She is always saying or doing something weird and hilarious that makes everyone laugh and she does not care at all what other people think, which is something that I look up to her for.

3. She will always put others before herself.

Ever since I met her, she has always been the one to put others before herself. She is always helping me and others with things such as sports, home work, and projects. She also has this little problem with saying 'No' to people, no matter what the subject or matter is, she'll feel bad and say something like, "Maybe next week" or "Some other time we definitely can."

4. We literally do everything together.

I mean everything! We go to lunch, walk to class, watch scary movies, and we skip class together (don't tell our moms). We even rearranged our dorm room so our beds could be combined into one massive bed.

5. I wouldn't ask for anybody else.

I am so blessed to have met such an amazing person like her. She is not only my roommate, but my best friend. Even though we live three plus hours apart, that doesn't stop us from FaceTime and texting each other every single day, all day (literally, I mean all day) and driving to see each other whenever we have the chance.

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. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. 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.
