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.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
