10 Reasons I'm Thankful For My Roommates

Let's face it; not everyone considers their roommate a friend and that's okay, but when you are close with your roommate, (and in my case, roommates), college is practically Disney World.

One of the biggest anxieties about going away to college is sharing a room with a practical stranger, but at the same time, it's also an exhilarating experience because you get to learn all about that other person.

I was reluctant at first because I wouldn't have to share a dorm with just one roommate, but two.

Now I feel greedy because I got two of the best roommates anyone could ask for. Only four months into college, and I couldn't picture living with anyone else.

1. They help me wake up in the morning:

And I'm not an easy person to get out of bed.

2. They Don't Mind When my Alarm Goes off Every Three Minutes:

After all, I do need to set at least ten alarms to make sure I get up in time for class.

3. They Don't Let Me Binge-Watch Netflix Alone:

"Don't watch Grey's Anatomy without me!"

4. They Let Me Jam Out to Taylor Swift:

They even let me hang my poster of her without judgement.

5. They Don't Mind My Excessive Eating Habits:

6. We Have Weekly Target Shopping Sprees:

Seriously, we have more fun there than at the Frat Houses.

7. They Take Care of Me When I'm Sick:

Thankfully one of them is a nursing major...

"You're dehydrated. Drink water."


8. They Accept my Germaphobic tendencies:

They know if they sneeze, they get sprayed with my collection of Lysol.


9. They're Always There for Me:

Especially when I freak out about writer's block and my printer not working.


10. They Never Fail To Make Me Laugh:

Even when we're stressed about our seventeen tests in a week, we still manage to crack jokes.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
