Gotta love your roomie

11 Roommate Goals

Everyone has that one friend that you always spend time with. For the majority of us in college, that person might just be your roommate. You judge (or don't) each other all the time and just in general spend a lot of time laughing. But of course that's not all that roommates do. Here's a list of a few roommate goals that every roommate set should experience.

1. Hanging Out: You know how you tend to hang out with the people you live with? Well that's a thing. Ultimate roomie goals could always involve spending some much needed time with each other.

2. Adventures: Maybe you just want to go on a walk. Maybe you want to go to get some ice cream at 2 in the morning. Who knows?

3. Sick Days: They happen. Everyone gets sick. The question is, will you take care of each other when you get sick, or hide from each other. After all, you live together. Odds are, if one of you is sick, the other will be soon.

4. Real Talk: You take the time to sit down and really talk. You talk about the random stuff that happened in your day, your hopes and dreams, your heartbreaks and frustrations. You take the time to listen to understand and not just to respond. You've seen each other ugly cry, get beyond angry, and make jokes all at the same time. Real talk means taking the time to be real with each other.

5. Accountability: You keep each other accountable. Maybe you've set a goal for yourself, and your roommate is going to do everything in their power to help you reach that. Maybe that means changing certain patterns in your life. Maybe that means keeping you from talking to your ex, and you would do the exact same thing for them.

6. Share Stuff: You're not afraid to share clothes, shoes or jewelry with each other because you both know you'll always get it back. Sure, you may not have the same size, but that doesn't mean you can't borrow a piece of jewelry when your roommate just so happens to have the perfect necklace for that shirt you want to wear on a date.

7. Meal Buddy: Never fear, you'll never have to eat alone again (during college). You're roommate will always be there for you if you have no one to eat with. They won't make you sit by yourself in the dining commons.

8. Roomie Dates: Not only do you have real talk and adventures, you go out on random roomie dates. Just like any good friendship/relationship, you have to take the time to just have fun with only the two of you. That may mean going out to get ice cream or just sitting down and binge watching a new anime. You do you.

9. Homework Partners: You're a college student, so chances are, you have a lot of homework. Your roommate does too. The best part about that, is that you can have your very own homework party right in the comfort of your own room. You can work on your homework together and keep each other from procrastinating (too much).

10. Introvert Time: If you're like me and my roommate, you need that time to recharge. If you're lucky, that time will just so happen to be at the same time. You cold probably catch up that energy by spending time on your separate computers watching different shows on Netflix.

11. Nap Dates: Sometimes, you both just need to take a nap. At the same time. Best part about that, if your alarm doesn't wake you up, your roommate's might.

In no way does this list encompass all of them. By all means, every roommate set has different ways that they interact. But you know what? That's okay. You do you. Feel free to let me know in the comments some of the goals you and your roommie have.

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.
