10 Things I want To Thank My Roommate For
Ryan Robinson

We all have one at one point or another. Roommates. As a Freshman in college, I live in a tiny dorm with one other roommate, who happens to be one of my best friends. When we first decided to live together, we really didn't know anything about each other. After one semester of living together, I can say that I can't imagine a time in my life without her. So thank you for all the things we have gone through together this semester!


1. For dealing with my messes.

I know we can both get fairly messy at times, but thank you for not getting mad when my side of the room is littered with clothing because I couldn't figure out what to wear the previous night out.

2. For always going to eat dinner with me.

While this one may seem odd, I really appreciate our lunch and dinners in the dining halls, even though we always end up sick after eating there.

3. For understanding when I'm closed off and not speaking.

I know that at times I can get into my funk where I don't speak and want to be alone, but thank you for always knowing how to give me my space (even though we live in a cabinet sized room).

4. For listening to me ramble on about the same topic 1,000 times.

When I can't get off a topic and I continue to go on about the same thing, you always listen and still make it seem important.

5. For always having the most fun pre-pregames ever.

Because sometimes getting ready is more fun than the party.

6. For being my favorite dance partner.

We both know that your dancing is a true gem.

7. For having the same sense of humor as me.

Because dark humor is the best humor, right? There is truly nothing like making fun of each other endlessly.

8. For making me feel better when I'm down about myself.

When I'm whining about how I look, you always cheer me up.

9. For cheering me up when I've made a mistake.

You make me remember that making a mistake is okay and to learn from it and move on.

10. For being my best friend.

Because I can't imagine a life where you may not have ended up dealing with my bullshit everyday.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
