Why I am Thankful for my Roommate

There are good ones, there are bad ones, I was lucky enough to end up with a great one.

Why I am Thankful for my Roommate

In college, it’s kind of hard to live without a roommate. If you are in the dorms you are more than likely going to get one or pay extra not to have one. If you live off campus, chances will be that you need a roommate in order to afford to live off campus. There are good ones and there are bad ones; I am very thankful that I have a great one.

My roommate is a lovely human being with some of the greatest energy you will every experience. It is a very worrying thing if she isn’t smiling. She always has a crazy good energy coming from her. Whether it is about her cat, who is the second favorite, or just life, in general, she never fails to put me in a great mood.

She is always singing. No joke, whether it is a song from the Hamilton soundtrack, or one of her favorite songs that she has put on while she is getting ready. She is always singing and it is probably the greatest thing to hear. That and her talking to her cat, don’t worry we both do it.

She is willing to go get ice cream and candy in our pj’s at 11 at night just to fulfill our cravings. Watching Saturday Night Live, Jimmy Fallon, and Vampire Diaries to procrastinate and laugh. Drink more coffee than is humanly possible because we are pretty sure it runs through our veins. And watching Harry Potter and being able to quote every word of them.

In rehearsal for the Grizzly Marching Band, she again always has that super amazing energy that follows her where ever she goes. She runs to her spot, well it is more like skipping, and waits for instructions with a giant smile on her face. She goes and practices with all her heart, even if the music is making her frustrated, she goes and tries her hardest.

Even when we go grocery shopping and tell each other, “ok no buying something we don’t need.” She still makes it fun.

Whether it is out adventures to Glacier, grocery shopping, or just sitting in our apartment doing homework. I am thankful for her and all the lovely things that come with her, her crazy cat, her singing and her amazing energy. So thank you for being my roommate, letting me take pictures of you, and bringing your crazy energy into my life.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter

It's not all morning coffees and singing along to the radio.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter
morethanwheels

I've been in college for four years now. I spent half my time as a commuter and half as a resident so I've experienced both sides of the housing spectrum. One thing I've learned comparing the two is that my struggles as a commuter far outweigh anything I went through while living on campus. Commuters have to deal with the problems school brings along with a slew of other issues; I've filled up my gas tank in the worst kind of weather conditions and napped in random places in public more times than I'm proud to say of. This is a list of some of the most challenging aspects of being a commuter.
