Surviving The Storm Together

Why I Love My College Roommate

In This Article:

Whether you are a transfer student starting at a university or a freshman starting college for the first time, your roommate will be your best friend and your sister. Through the semester you both will learn each others ways, stay up late having deep conversations knowing you have a 8:30am class, talk about how stress this one class is and so much more.

We Can Be Lazy Together

There are days when the weather is so crummy that neither of us want to go to class. There are nights when we get back from class and just grab our chairs, throw our feet up and tune into our show for that day. Thank you for dealing with my ID shows 99% of the time.

PHOTOSHOOT!!!!

Knowing how much I love photography, you never got annoyed when I asked to do a mini photoshoot or even take photos. Whether we were in our apartment or out exploring you completely understood that I was taking my camera & most likely taking over 100 photos. You never rushed me while I was trying to get "the perfect angle for the perfect shot". The idea of a mini photoshoot in our living room wasn't even a shocker to you. It was like "okay let's do it!" moved the couch and BAAAM!

Never A Dull Moment During The Holidays

Although we leave for Christmas break, there is no one else I would want to wear an "ugly" sweater with but you!! Especially a matching ones. Who knew trying to find the PERFECT sweater for "ugly sweater bingo" would be fun honestly. Can't wait to do it again in our Goat sweaters!!

Let It Snow! Let It Snow!

As much as you hate the cold, we managed to have a snowball fight, cleaned a few cars off in the parking lot and even made a snowman ( and a friend) Shout out to your creativity when it came to the nose and 3D ears. Be ready for next winter.

El Música

Two ( slightly) different cultures colliding. While living together I fell in love with Spanish music and grasped onto the language. Whether it's just cooking in the kitchen or blasting music, random dancing to Spanish music was....divertisdísimo! Our crazy minds together would be the ones to open the windows on a nice spring morning, put the speakers by it and blast "It's a beautiful morning" for everyone to hear as they walked by.

Special Occasions

Thanks for doing my hair when it came to "meeting the parents" and letting me borrow your tops for sisterhood occasion. Thank you for telling me, "You're going to be okay. Stop worrying" when it came to dinner with the family to ensure that it wasn't a big deal because regardless they would love me.

If it's not the AC unit exploding on our first night in the apartment it's someone banging on our window at 2am. Never a dull moment in our apartment. Memories that we can look back on now and laugh at because only that would happen to us.

Thank you for always being there for me when situations became tough, popping the screen out the window so I can come back inside, showing me your culture and your views on things while accepting mine. Thank you for always being patient with me when I was being too hard on myself. Most importantly thank you for making my first year at a university a perfect one. Wouldn't trade you as a roommate or friend in for a thing. Cheers to our second and final year as undergrads.

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Everybody gets sick once in a while, but getting sick while in college is the absolute worst.

Being sick in college is really tough and definitely not a fun experience. Here are the 15 stages that everyone ends up going through when they are sick at college.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
