13 Reasons Why Rooming With A Camp Friend In College Is The G.O.A.T

College is like camp, just without the counselors, so there is no better way of doing college than with a camp friend. From the age of eight, you've grown up together, you have seen each other at your best and worst moments; you've laughed until you've cried, watched each other make fools out of yourselves, and have told each other your life story. So these 13 reasons are why rooming with a camp friend is the best decision you will ever make going into college.

1. You have an automatic best friend going into college.

2. Everyone thinks that living space in a confined space with someone for a year is awful, but NBD—you've already shared a cabin with 42 other girls.

3. You knew each other at your peak awkward stage, and still manage to accept each other.

4. Zero judgment if you do something embarrassing... I mean, she's already probably seen you laugh so hard you've peed your pants.

5. Between the both of you, you have enough costumes to fill a costume store, so you are always set for theme parties.

6. You always have a partner in crime to sing with at the top of your lungs (and probably the wrong lyrics to the song).

7. She knows every single detail about your life from the age of 8, and will still bring it up to this day to embarrass you (more importantly, your middle school crushes).

8. Your clothes are her clothes and her clothes are your clothes.

9. You've both survived the camp outhouses, so communal bathrooms are nothing.

10. You don't have to cry your eyes out due to the thought of having to leave each other, because you wake up to their smiling face every morning.

11. Even though you are moving onto adult things, with her there is still a part of kid in you.

12. You've seen each other cry a billion times and know how to cheer each other up.

13. It doesn't matter if your stuff is all over the place, because at camp cabin cleanup never existed.

Camp and college are known for the places where you meet your best friends for life, so when you combine both, you are truly livin'.

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.

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
